Unless you know, you&#x27;re also a tad pretentious, just roll with the audience scores.  Audiences don&#x27;t care about art.  It&#x27;s more difficult to buy the audience and you can&#x27;t really intimidate them into giving you good reviews.   The audience will nuke those independent films because they don&#x27;t care that it was an amazing achievement from a small studio.  The audience will likely tell you the truth.<p>When it comes to PC gaming, it&#x27;s been fairly well established for a long time that you can&#x27;t really trust most of the reviewers.  They&#x27;re either bought and paid for, intimidated or not giving enough time to evaluate.  I&#x27;ve been relying on user scores for a long time and whilst I doubt this is perfect, I&#x27;m happy with my decision.<p>Example: <a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.metacritic.com&#x2F;game&#x2F;pc&#x2F;grand-theft-auto-v" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.metacritic.com&#x2F;game&#x2F;pc&#x2F;grand-theft-auto-v</a>
