A recent Reddit thread has ignited a fiery debate about the trustworthiness of game reviews, amassing over 1,400 comments. The central question: are game reviews becoming increasingly unreliable?  Users point to the frequent disparity between "masterpiece" and "disaster" labels for the same game, making it nearly impossible to gauge quality without playing firsthand.

One user cited Obsidian Entertainment's *The Outer Worlds* as a prime example.  On Metacritic, the game's reception is far from unanimous.  Current data shows 60% positive reviews, 17% negative, and the remaining 23% falling somewhere in between.

This mixed bag of reviews makes it challenging for potential buyers to make informed decisions.  With neither overwhelmingly positive nor negative feedback, the decision to purchase often hinges on personal preference, a notoriously subjective factor.
