>>40831324All the initial media reviewer coverage has been quite positive, I have no idea how out-of-touch you have to be to predict 74, especially when Let's Go received 79. Sword and Shield's professional review score is going to be at least over 80 at worst, and over 85 most likely. Anyone genuinely predicting <75 is "it's going to sell five million globally"-tier delusional.
As for its user score, really depends on whether Metacritic feels compelled to remove review bombers' 0s (as they did with Astral Chain) or not.
