“Maybe remove them from Metacritic?”: fans unhappy with rating drop for The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time remake due to new review
Translated with AI from the Russian original.
The remake of The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time was recently released on the Nintendo Switch 2 console. The new title received many positive reviews from both the press and regular players. However, there were also people who criticized the project.
Fans' attention was drawn to a review of The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time remake by Slant Magazine, which gave it 4.5 stars out of 5 (or 70 out of 100 on Metacritic):
[…] the question of whether this Ocarina of Time deserves to exist is perhaps less interesting than the opportunity to use it as a barometer for the state of video games as a whole. The game exists, and it is good. It has always been good. It is Ocarina of Time, after all. But it is yet another entry in a long list of troubling signs that video games have never really grown up.
As a result, the average score of The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time remake dropped to 95 points, which infuriated some users:
Maybe they should be removed from Metacritic? I mean, they gave 60 points to The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild and 40 points to Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice. What the *****? — BendjiNzau
They look disgraceful even by game journalists' standards — donnyjtrumpeter
Discussion participants noted that in the past, Slant Magazine gave low scores — 40–60 on Metacritic — to games like Cyberpunk 2077, Battlefield 6, and other Nintendo exclusives. Kingdom Come: Deliverance received a mere 20 out of 100 on Metacritic.
Thanks to tech enthusiasts, players have the opportunity to explore The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time remake not only on Nintendo Switch 2, but also on PC. Modders have already developed a full co-op mode for the game.
