Usually the best reviews will be user ones since they don't try to please anyone and will give an honest opinion usually, unless they are crazy fanboys. Gamespot reviews should be carefully looked at, i lost trust in them after they fired one of their employees for giving a low score and honest review on a game many years back. Now i see their reviews and im not sure if they ranked it high because they had ads up, of if the reviewer is scared of getting fired, or if they actually did like the game.
Probably the only reviewer you can trust is Kevin V, the rest i wouldn't... although i disagree'd with im in the witcher 3, its not 10/10 good, its a 7 good, its far too boring to be any higher and still not quite open world like i thought it would be, just little map sections with invisible walls everywhere.
Also when they review mmos, you pretty much can ignore anything they said because they just dont put enough hours into them. Gamespot needs a hardcore section of people who just review those and specialize in them... you need someone that can actually put at least thousand hrs into these things to give a real opinion.
I agree that that is usually the case with game reviewers. But both user reviews and professional reviews have their sides, in my opinion. I don't trust either as the user review tends to be a bit extreme and the professional reviews seem so unnatural. I don't look at scores for either though.
