1)Fallout 76
2)Big Rigs: Over the road racing (possibly the only game in the history of metacritic to have a single-digit score, with critics actually pleading with people not to buy the game)
3)Metal Gear: Survive (User ranking "Overwhelmingly dislike" in a franchise that is generally beloved). It's particularly funny to read the definitely astroturfed industry reviews saying it's one of the best survival games ever)
I doubt this game is disliked because it's a terrible game because the game it's built upon has extremely solid gameplay, it's more disliked because of what it represents.
The parent company sabotaging MGS5 development, kicking Hideo Kojima out, then using the assets and engine of the game to rush out some new game that doesn't fit in with the rest of the games without the original creator.
I'm not even much of a gamer, but how is anybody still giving game journalism any credit whatsoever? We all remember the cuphead video, don't we?
Yes, by a mile. Columns about films, food, fashion (or sports for that matter) in major newspapers are usually curated by people who at least understand the medium that's the object of their critical review.
The video game world is halfway between influencer wannabes and AAA studio shills.
Now it seems that it is the place where wannabe journalist end up when they can not get work anywhere else. And thus try to insert what they want to signal in their writings. And most of the time not care about medium itself.
This is literally like if baseball coverage was done by someone who doesn't know what's a strike.
But if you're a gamer looking for consumer advice, then game journalists who don't know how to play games are basically worthless. It would be like reading car reviews from somebody who can't drive. They can tell you what they think of the car from an artistic perspective, but they're ill equipped to offer good consumer advice.
It's totally OK that someone is focusing on the industry news and not consumer reviews; and when he gets drafted into playing something (because you don't send your whole damn staff from CA to Köln to ingest what's 99% ignorable media blitz) and he sucks at it it's fine to take some time to point and laugh, but it says absolutely nothing about the greater state of games journalism.
It has since been patched up and is playable, but on release it deserved every bit of criticism it got.
Now the main issue with it is monetisation, which is a divisive topic.
