3 were IGN, which also happens to have more weight than other critics for the final calculated score.
Seriously, what's their problem?

IGN reviews should be averaged and merged into one. Same with every other portal which makes more than one review

It also has a 8.0 User Score as of right now. The highest for a mainline Pokemon game since HGSS (scored at 9.1 and 9.2). Pokemon B2W2 are scored at 7.9 btw.

Why does IGN get so many reviews just because they have different branches? And I seriously cannot understand how the same chick that gave Sword and Shield a 9.3/10 gave Legends a 7/10. That just doesn’t make sense to me.

User score is not that better than critic score in the end.

Sales, user score, and reception (which has been overall very positive, much more than SwSh and BDSP) almost certainly matter much more than GameFreak than the averaged Critics score on Metacritic.
Also, even at 84 it's still higher than anything else they released for the Switch. Including SwSh.

How does it matter to GameFreak whether it god 8.6 or 8.4? Do you think GameFreak actually has a cut off at 8.9. That only once they game gets 8.9 or above they'll decide to incorporate PLA features? Gen 9 development is probably well underway and the combat system in PLA was likely just a test for Gen 9.

Both Critic and User Score are bullshit.
However, normally, a very low user score (like SwSh) is a massive red flag for a game.

How much do you need to rush through the game to get that to happen?
You rank your stars so quickly and naturally just by playing normally through the game. Do they just not catch ANYTHING? Do they not try to explore a bit on the way to the next story point, or what?

Around 25% of the reviews are in the mediocre to poor range. Alot of people are just excited that the series tried something new and want to reward that even if the execution was flawed.

It most likely happened at ranks 4 and above. The number of points to level up rank kept increasing and by that point they may have thought they had caught enough and had tired of doing so, so only caught or battled a few Pokemon each.

I guess I just take my time with games like this. I got to rank 8 right after I beat the third noble fight. I know I'm at the complete other end of the spectrum lmao (which may also be a bit retarded), but it's still surprising some people play rushing so much as to actually feel like they need to grind to progress the story.

Godhand is a good game. It was ahead of its time and is still one of the best brawlers to play.

Pla is not a good game. Its uninspired and lacks features. It being different from other pokemon games does not make it good. It hardly deserves a score over 70.

Rank eight is a post-game level. Rank five is all you need to beat the entire game iirc.

Well damn. I guess I really overdid it. The thing is that I was never actively trying to rank up at any point though. That's just how I play these sort of exploration style games.

>kept the awful tradition from BW with gym leaders only having 3 pokemon max and e4 only 4
>could be fixed with challenge mode, had it been actually possible to unlock from the start
>some of the worst and most forced tutorials in the franchise like pokestar studios
>bad story like every other pokemon game, becomes more of a detriment as the series moves on since the dialogue gets more screentime
>looks ugly, moving sprites were a mistake, the 2.5D overworld of gen IV and V was a mistake as well

That said, I do not think an 8/10 is bad by any means, no Pokémon game deserves anything higher than 9/10.

Some people save most of their exploring for the post-game. But Arcues makes players do so much of it during the main story. One new rank is needed to be able to take on each successive frenzied noble Pokemon. That's why rank five is the final one, since at that point you can have Pokemon up to level sixty-five be obedient to you. There are no Pokemon above that level in the main story. Rank six is optional in the post-game if you want obedient level 70 legendaries.
