It's a fantastic game that came out to middling reviews, which is par for the course for those gaggle of shills and industry elitists. Generally speaking, I take an inverse view of metas: If most critics hate it, it's probably good. If they praise it, it's probably awful.
What games that critics like would you say are bad? What games critics hate are good?

Going off of memory:
Dragon Dogma was absolutely ripped apart by Eurogamer.
God Hand is a well known example, which got a 3.0 on IGN.
I rather thought Strike Suit Zero was marked down, simply because "arena shooters" are a dead genre, but think the gameplay blows Freespace or Wing Commander out of the water (As opposed to sandbox games or trading sims, which has become the norm.)

It got an 8/10 lol. Dark Arisen got a 9/10.

That's one publication. Overall it sits at 73, which is about what it deserves.

Space flight sims are gay.

I wouldn't call it a mess or anything, but it did have some issues I thought were not up to the standard I would expect from the devs. And obviously something turned people off if it wasn't selling as well as it could have.
In the previous games you have more action and less exploration
In shadow is the other way around
