I don't find critic reviews to be any more credible than anyone else's. If anything, "pro" reviewers have been cowed by their Twitter peers into having a hive mind opinion. Some of them have even admitted as much. Some of them are afraid of fan reactions. Some are afraid of backlash from publishers and devs.Bingo. The point I'm making...critic reviews are "more" credible..not some angry gamer who doesn't like a game design choice.
The ONLY reviews that I put stock in these days are generally youtubers who don't have a relationship with the pubs or devs. People getting flown out to private party events or people getting early review copies are not credible in my eyes (at least the majority of them). People who are afraid of losing business contact with the folks selling you a product is a clear conflict of interest.
Yes, there's user idiots who give a game a 0, but there's just as many idiots who give a game a 10, just to "balance out the trolls". Why worry about either group? They aren't worth anyone's time.
