It depends on the reasons, but I tend to favor user reviews over critics given that I am a user and not a critic.
Reviewers in the video game space may have been asked to review something they otherwise would not be interested in, which just intrinsically is going to color your perception of it, for example, whereas no one is forcing users to play something they don’t want to.
OTOH, critics may attempt to be more objective (or not).

Thank you for pointing that out, fixed it to say “Metacritic”
