Never mind, this is probably it for me as well. I'd consider this in my top 10 depending on how I feel.this marked the day i ceased to take reviews seriously
I don't have a set in stone top 10, but of those games that would definitely be in it, Life Is Strange: Before the Storm has an MC of 77. Two games that would be floating around the top 10, NieR and Mirror's Edge Catalyst, are 67 and 69 (nice) respectively.
Star Wars Knights of the Old Republic 2 has an 85 on Metacritic. That's probably the lowest of the games I'd consider top 10 caliber.
999: Nine Hours, Nine Persons, Nine Doors on DS. It received an 82 on Metacritic, and is my #2 favorite game of all time. I don't think any games in my top 50 list have below 80 MC score, but I'd have to check later.
Mega Man Legends got good to average reviews. I'm surprised because I think the game was ahead of its time in a lot of aspects.
I haven't looked at my all time list in a while, but I believe the Hitman (2016) is in my top ten, in which case it would probably be the lowest with an 84 average on Metacritic. Hell of a game.
If it were expanded to top 25ish, it'd probably be Mirror's Edge, which I bring up only so that I can put 2008 games criticism on blast. Really, a 79? Y'all ain't shit, out here with your product review-ass criticism complaining that the game is too short. Yeah! That's how much time they needed, bucko. History has vindicated me.

Pac Man World 3 with a 66. Tbh, it's mainly on my list because of nostalgia. I have great memories playing it.
Came here to say this. Can't wait for 2 and hoping for the same quality or worse driving!! I think it would be funny if they made it play perfect with intuitive mechanics and perfect gameplay along with a cohesive story that is written amazingly. I'd fucking die laughing.
It looks like SaGa Scarlet Grace at 76 (PS4) and 79 (Switch). Not sure why they are separated considering they released at the same time and are exactly the same.
Anyway yeah I get why it reviewed low -- the game feels low budget (it was). But in my opinion the game absolutely works and is one of the most fun RPGs I've played.

I didn't realize this was so low. I just posted about Deadly Premonition but this one is also top 10 for me. This game was so powerful the first time I played it, made me bawl like a baby. Anything that can push emotions to extreme have no business being reviewed badly.
From my top 20 (can't pick a top ten)
Fantasy Life 73
Star Ocean: First Departure 74
Yakuza 75
Pokemon Mystery Dungeon: Blue Rescue Team 62

Rofl, yeah I was sure it would be higher. Oh, the injustice.
Looking at Metacritic
83 - Rhythm Heaven Fever
87 - Hollow Knight
88 - Celeste
89 - Dark Souls 1
89 - Dark Souls 3
90 - Sekiro
92 - Bloodborne
92 - Xenoblade
96 - Wind Waker
97 - BOTW
Only Rhythm Heaven Fever dips below 85. Looks like my opinion on top games doesn't deviate too far from mainstream.

Conan Exiles (68 Metacritic).
To be fair, it's in a much better state today that how it launched, so the review score doesn't really reflect the current game.

Tropical Freeze is my third favorite game and it reviewed at 83. That's the lowest on my personal list.
This bullshit right here:
PMD Explorers of Sky is a masterpiece, the best Pokemon game ever made.

Wonderful 101 78 meta, I don't blame reviewers since you need to dig and commit the effort to see why the game is so special

DW9 is amazing.
I bought it after watching Jim Sterling's impressions. While I enjoyed listening to him shitting on the game, I actually thought it looked really fun and interesting. Put 200h in that game, loved it. Critics were too harsh, I wish Omega Force would improve over the amazing concept of DW9, but now it seems they will probably back off.

It's pretty much this. I'm sure I could dig deeper and find a game with a <70 score that I happen to hold in high regard, but these are up there enough to count.
DW9 also has the best story in the goddamn series.
It also has the best incarnation of Zhang Jiao, who I happen to adore. Really, all the characters were at their best, especially Cao Cao. I especially like Cao Cao's ending where everybody mourns him despite his instructions not to do so. Did I mention that the cutscenes are great? They should've made an Empires expansion for this game...
