Baldur's Gate 3 is rated 'Fair' after being reviewed by 10 critics, with an overall average score of 70. It's ranked in the bottom 44% of ga
Okay, I usually like open critic, but I have a serious problem with what they did with BG3 reviews. First off I don't understand why Early Access reviews are aggregated, or even needed. They all just say variations of "the game is unfinished, but it might be good when it gets a full release". Which is useless. Everyone already knows how early access works. Anyone with a brain knows that the EA version will be vastly different from the real release.
Second, the fact that this is the only Baldur's Gate 3 section on the site heavily implies that they're not going to differentiate between the EA version and the full version for reviews. Adding EA reviews that were written 3 years ago to the new, full release reviews that are going to be written this summer will seriously throw the final metascore off. I know metascores are worthless, but a lot of people use them to judge the quality of a game. Letting reviews of an old version of a game stand equal to newer reviews is a problem across all aggregate review media. Steam is the only place that sort of gets it right by separating overall score from the recent score, so you can see if the game improved from launch (or got worse). But early access reviews just make the overall problem worse.
