Seem fine, though it mostly highlights the issue of merging all reviews regardless of platform
Metacritic has a different page for every platform.
Currently the 90 metascore is only for the PC version. If you go to the Ps4 page you get this:
Yeah, this is what we've been used to all along. Reviewers and/or users calling things out. Kinda the point of a aggregate site. You just gather various reviews and score them by a metric. Of course, there's lots of things to criticize aggregate sites for, but what they are kinda supposed to do is merely make a calculation of gathered opinions.
Then again, it seems a lot of people disagree with me there, so I guess I'm in the minority opinion on this. I just get cautious when a single case of a game that's controversial before its release, suddenly gets unique actions taken, when the same existing problem was there all along in the aggregate site.
Yes but when search “Cyberpunk 2077” the only thing that comes up with a review score is the PC version.
That's because not enough reviews are registered for the other versions. The other versions show up as "TBD", because Metacritic favors critic/outlet reviews.
Now, maybe they are intentionally holding back reviews? I have no idea. But metacritic can suddenly take a long time until a big barrage of reviews flow in.
It seems CDPR has been pretty scummy regarding versions of the game made available, which would explain most of it and would be something outlets should be wary about. PC version seems from some I've seen to be not doing so good considering the requirement as well and that allegedly CDPR might've done something scummy there as well to misrepresent the game on PC. That's something that seems far more fair to point out regarding its metacritic score.
