Resident Evil Requiem surged to the top of Metacritic's all-time Best Games by User Score with a 9.5, briefly edging out fan-favorites Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 and Cory in the House before Clair Obscur reclaimed the lead; the accolade underlines strong player enthusiasm for Capcom's horror entry, which is also performing well on Steam and has a Nintendo Switch 2 version in the mix.
Metacritic has responded to the review bombing of 'Dragon Age: The Veilguard,' where user scores on their platform significantly differ from those on Steam, PlayStation, and Xbox. The game has been criticized with terms like "woke" and "propaganda," leading to a low Metacritic user score of 3.8/10. Metacritic stated they have a moderation system to address abusive reviews, but many such reviews remain. The platform's criteria for removing reviews appear narrow, as political disagreements alone don't warrant removal.
Despite receiving low critic scores, Ubisoft's game Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora has garnered high user scores, surpassing recent mainline Ubisoft franchises such as Far Cry and Assassin's Creed. The game's positive reception among players is attributed to its stunning visuals and being described as "Avatar Far Cry, but better." The discrepancy between critic and user scores, along with poor marketing and a crowded release date, may have contributed to the game's initial lack of attention. However, the positive user feedback has sparked interest in the game, prompting some to give it a try.
