@Squid_Adams_PSN Unfortunately metacritic scores aren't always a great indicator of actual feelings on the game and you have to dig into them a bit. It is not people leaving legitimate reviews of the game as much as it is people venting. It shows 23 total scores that people actually left a review on and of those 9 are 0 or 1. I don't care how much you don't like a game a 0 or 1 are games that don't load or are completely unplayable and this game is not that. There are also like 6 10s in there too from people that even it out a little but those reviews are just as bad because this game is not even close to a perfect 10. And don't get me wrong because I have my complaints about the game and would put it somewhere around 6.5 or maybe 7 but those "reviews" are normal for metacritic users now.

They haven't been happy with the game for years but I bet most of them keep coming back every year and complain about the same things again.
