Not a single game above 88 on metacritic, yet loved by millions because of strong gameplay and brand power.

Who gives a fuck about metacritic, I want to know what you like, what speaks your soul. Mario Odyssey has like a 100 there or something right? I find that game incredibly mid. But something like Rhythm Heaven Fever is a 9.5 in my heart. I doubt that got a good review.

While Pokémon typically gets 70s or low 80s, almost every other big gaming franchise (mario,zelda, gta) consistently ends up in the high 90s and on "best game ever made" lists. Thats what happens when games take advantage of they money they make. Porkeymans needs to step up its game!!!
