Only 83 score on metacritic

As sad as it may be, according to the modern grading system, anything game that score less than 90 just a average game

The stanley parable only has an 88. Game reviewers aren't representative of actual gamers, they consistently don't get indie games that are beloved by people who actually like games, because they only actually like the games they get paid to like, consider that not that long ago Eurogamer gave DA Veilguard a 100/100, like game reviewers aren't and have not been a reputable source for how good or bad something is for a long time if they ever were.

I really wasn’t sold on this quite yet until today after I played the demo. Now I can’t wait. Annapurna usually always delivers so I’m really excited.

People try to simplify the process of what game to play/what is worth playing by following a subjective opinion disguised as an objective scoring system, at the end it all depends on the individual experience, played a lot of "bad" games that left an impact on me and a lot of "good" games that I forgot what they are about. It doesnt really matter as long as people have fun

That's just a roundabout way of showing you're too foolish and full of resentment to understand that opinions are subjective. Veilguard has an 82 on metacritic by the way. And this game doesn't have a lot of reviews (yet) so the average is more affected by a few opinions. Like film critics game critics may have somewhat different demographic characteristics than the mean of randomly selected gamers but that probably makes them more likely to score indie games higher. The idea that there are "real gamers" is just solipsistic hubris, but there are people who are more or less into one or other genre, and people who do professional reviews are probably not always genre fans, which might be useful for people who aren't playing more than a few of the best games in a genre.
