The metro review I think.

Thereâs always absurd outliers/people with differing opinions to the norm in reviews, both negative and positive. The fact that Hi-Fi Rush was showered with critical praise means far far more than one average score.
It might be conspiratorial, but I agree with the sentiment that with a game with the scope of Starfield, there are going quite a few of those Metro like reviews. I hope Iâm wrong, but itâs what I expect.

I donât disagree that there are outlets letting their bias affect their reviews, I just think it exists for every piece of media and comes in both good and bad forms. Ultimately itâs a small fraction of the review base and partly just cancels itself out, and is why people tend to stick to review outlets they trust and sites like metacritic which works in averages from a wide range of sources.
I donât think weâve seen anything to suggest any negative bias is enough to sway the overall critical reception though, I mean Xbox is on a pretty good streak metacritic wise. Best publisher of 2021, and every title since has reviewed fairly well on average too. If there was a problem I think we wouldnât be seeing that.
Plus in the case of Metro, I did look up their review of the most recent major Sony release - God of War Ragnarok. They scored it an 80 as well 
Once again, theyâre not talking about how good the game is, theyâre making a point about how giving it an accolade for being the Best Xbox first party game is meaningless because there hasnât been any.
We donât need to be looking to perceived slights that are obviously not one in the media when there is so many direct and clear ones.

âWithout 30 million PS5 users, 18.5 million wonât cut it. Even with PC high number count, it still wonât cut it without the 30. Therefore, this game has an incredible short lifespan.â

That is exactly what I was wondering. Very odd comment for a game show. Canât imagine it was random.
Edit: And Lamplighters looks pretty great. Looks like Shadowrun with way better presentation and some ideas stolen from the Divinity Original Sin series.
