• I wouldn’t say those numbers are for games that suck, anyway. That’s a decent, just not mind-blowing game. Anything that’s 40% or lower is what I would say almost universally sucks. But I would also take into account review bombing for things beyond the scope of the game itself, as it is very often reported on when it happens.

      Open critic has a handy chart available for scored titles that compares it with the rest of their database. This offers some insight into the score distribution:

      • a score of 50 places in the 6th percentile
      • a score of 60 places in the 15th percentile
      • a score of 70 places in the 40th percentile
      • a score of 80 places in the 79th percentile
      • a score of 90 places in the 99th percentile

      So a score of 70 is already pretty mid, and 60 or lower is going to be dire.
