PAYDAY 3 is rated 'Fair' after being reviewed by 18 critics, with an overall average score of 67. It's ranked in the bottom 34% of games and recommended by 47% of critics.
I mean, isn’t the point of OpenCritic to get as wide an opinion base as possible? Of course you’ll have a bunch of weird ones in there, but you hypothetically get the best overall view of a game.
I wouldn’t trust OpenCritics to tell me if a game is really shit or not.
Starfield and Diablo 4 are rated “mighty” there and I find them rather “meh”.
Open Critic doesn’t tell you anything, it just aggregates everyone’s scores. If you don’t like the scores then blame the critics.
The problem is what passes as a critic is really really loose. Some of the reviews they get on there are pretty cringe.

Yeah, remember first reviews of Starfield? I’ll never trust reviewers again (to some extent but still).
