I wouldn’t trust OpenCritics to tell me if a game is really shit or not.
Starfield and Diablo 4 are rated “mighty” there and I find them rather “meh”.
Open Critic doesn't tell you anything, it just aggregates everyone's scores. If you don't like the scores then blame the critics.
The problem is what passes as a critic is really really loose. Some of the reviews they get on there are pretty cringe.
I mean, isn't the point of OpenCritic to get as wide an opinion base as possible? Of course you'll have a bunch of weird ones in there, but you hypothetically get the best overall view of a game.
