So the page

https://www.gamespot.com/games/baldurs-gate-3/

Has a release date of 2020 (!) and an Early Access Review from 2020 (!) with a score of 6 (Fair). The actual Baldur's gate 3 came out on August 3, 2023, and Gamespot did not yet manage to post a new review of the final game. By all other accounts, it appears to be a very good game, certainly better than "fair". What's up with that, Gamespot?

They probably waited for the PS5 version so that the score gets attached to the system on MC because of reasons.

Game critics always have heavy console bias.

If something releases on console first, immediately review it.

If something releases on PC first, they will wait.
