You need to remember what works for you does not always for others. There was massive complaints about it when it came out, and that's the reason they keep doing big performance patches.
liam off-topic.

Back to Bed, a weird isometric puzzle game released on Steam for Linux

My stance came as a result of multiple well known big gaming websites giving a certain game I got stung by 9/10 or 10/10 when in fact it was a steaming pile of turd that thankfully "amateurs" who played it gave a better picture. Some of those sites have since changed their scores.

Can you for example point at a metascore of a game who you sincerely disagree with and think is totally off the mark?
No, and why would I need to do this? Metascore uses user and publication reviews.

Also you seem to be suggesting I only trust user reviews, but I don't. Like I said I just prefer user reviews a lot of the time as it gives a quick indication of how a game is.

Amateur reviews however... Don't even get me started. I've seen so much crap coming from amateurs on games I own and know, it's not even funny. And *usually* they are far too forgiving, far too uncritical. That is the rule.
Exactly the same for "professional" reviews.

They work together to give a good picture, and that is what makes the metascore.

I don't agree at all.

Reviews done by "amateurs" are generally a good indication of how a game is. Some "professionals" get paid to write good reviews for bad games.

I trust user reviews more than so called critics or professionals.

Well a new studio, and that would no doubt be some of the original studio I'm sure.
