I made a quick and dirty bash script that fetches scores from metacritic for them.
It needs you to have configured legendary to get the game list.
It DOES NOT WORK for every game and some game reviews are fetched from consoles, but most of them are fine, here it is:
urlencode() {
# urlencode <string>
old_lc_collate=$LC_COLLATE
LC_COLLATE=C
local length="${#1}"
for (( i = 0; i < length; i++ )); do
local c="${1:$i:1}"
case $c in
[a-zA-Z0-9.~_-]) printf '%s' "$c" ;;
*) printf '%%%02X' "'$c" ;;
esac
done
LC_COLLATE=$old_lc_collate
}
URL_PRE="https://www.metacritic.com/search/game"
URL_POST="results?plats\[3\]=1&search_type=advanced"
URL_POST="results?&search_type=advanced"
legendary list-games|grep \*|cut -d "*" -f 2|cut -d "(" -f 1 |awk '{$1=$1;print}' >/tmp/games.txt
export IFS=$'\n'
for g in $(</tmp/games.txt) ; do
game=$(urlencode $g)
URL="$URL_PRE/$game/$URL_POST"
#echo $URL
rating=$(curl -s $URL |grep -A 1000 "main_stats"|grep "metascore_w " |cut -d \> -f 2|cut -d \< -f 1|head -n 1)
echo "$rating" - "$g"
done
Run it with something like:
./rate.sh|sort -r

Ah. Can't say I trust most critics these days.
Really?
Why do you say that?
I compared a bunch of random titles from that list and the ratings are very close between critic and user scores...
