The Lord of the Rings: Return to Moria is rated 'Fair' after being reviewed by 7 critics, with an overall average score of 66. It's ranked in the bottom 30% of games and recommended by 14%...
Think of it this way : should games that people pay money for be below average, ie, failures?
Anything below 60% shouldn’t even see the light of day, really.
Seen like this, it seems a lot more reasonable to me that 30% of released games would be below 70%. In fact, I’d say it’s still way too many games that probably should still be in the oven.

That doesn’t sit right with me.
Yeah, it’s kind of messed up that I read a 66 as a stunningly negative response.
“Gave me a terminal disease.” - 6/10
It helps me to think of it like school grades, where under 70% is a D and <60% is an F.
That’s how I view it too. 60-70 is bad. 70-80 is average. 80-90 is good. 90-100 is great.
Under 60 is just varying degrees of terrible.

Vanity rating.
Games basically start at a 4/10 if they at least launch and are playable.
