If you're not familiar with https://metacritic.com, it's basically rotten tomatoes except it also covers video games and music. I remember looking at the list of greatest games as a kid and wanting to try them all 
and being excited when a new game got ratings good enough to be anywhere near the top 
In short, metacritic is both a driver of game sales and a source of pride for neurodivergent g*mer fanboys 
It has thus become a source of drama that the third-best switch game of all time is The House in Fata Morgana, a visual novel about inhabitants of a spooky mansion. 
With a rating of 96/100, it ranks higher than Zelda ToTK 
and every other switch game besides Mario Odyssey 
and Zelda BoTW 
.
If you're not familiar with the concept of a "visual novel", it's basically a game composed entirely of text-based, click-to-proceed cutscenes, with music 
and anime-style 
art to set the mood. So in other words with the exception of 3 or 4 "choose your own adventure" moments across 40+ hours of text, it's more like a book than a game.
So naturally, having been tricked into reading a book by metacritic, a lot of g*mers are not happy 
. It is a testament to how good the "game"/"book" is that it has maintained a user score of 8.6/10 when the review section is filled with seething reviews of people who are mad that they got tricked into purchasing a book:

It's literally only highly rated for the same reason the highest rated mangadex stuff is disproportionately gay oneshots
Only cute twinks play this shit and they all gush over how great it is but it's fanfic-tier writing bloated to a billion lines. If people weren't wisely filtered by how obviously bad it is and it got a mainstream audience it'd be a 2/10

If g*mers (brainlets) still haven't got the memo that the majority of games are usually woke shit fests to pander to game journ*lists (brainlets), then dunno. Make a double jump off the roof

This particular line is the fault of bad localization and i personally dont think it represents the tone taken in the work as a whole
