I know it's difficult to justify removing a YMMV trope, but I find it difficult to justify the CriticalDissonace example here. It appears to me to be an example of OpinionMyopia. Using the data I can find, Episode 5 has a metacritic rating of 85 on PC, with user score averages ranging from 8.2 to 8.8. On Steam, 97% of the 39,533 reviews are positive. For comparison, VideoGame/WatchDogs has Metacritic user score averages ranging from 4.6 to 6.3, and 62% of the 15,633 reviews on Steam are positive. I know the trope is subjective, but it seems to me like a vocal minority of the fandom that didn't like Episode 5 hated it so much and talked to each other enough that they assumed most people hated Episode 5 along with them. From the data I see, that doesn't appear to be the case, although audience review scores will always tilt towards extremes due to self-selection introducing an inherent bias.
