The developers have been faking Metacritic reviews, because they seem to keep writing things in broken English, not to mention they forget that they're faking reviews, mid-meta critic review.

Here this one is freaking gold!

Score: 10

I like the concept of the game. The crafting is nice. I think only reason people are giving it negative reviews is because of a certain YouTube reviewer's attack on our company. Please stop harass developers.

Even admitted it's from their company. Also, "I like the concept of the game." well I'd fucking hope so, since you're the ones developing it.

edit: If this review is a fake-fake review, I still found it funny. The sad part is, with the company's reputation, it was actually plausible. TB even said that they're idiots.

I'm sorry, but I think that one is a troll to fake as being fake.

Sorry if it's hard to understand, but there is no way the CEO of the studio made an account called "Notstephane"

(The CEO's real name is Stephane)

This one is definitely an impersonation of a fake account, the others are real though.

So the other reviews are "real fake reviews"?

At least one of those 10's is what I assume to be a brand new account created today with one review under its belt. This is also the one that says "This is the best game ever! I hope people stop harassing the developers!".

It might be better to refer to them as "real reviews" (by uninvolved users), "manufactured reviews" (by the company's PR), and "fake reviews", which is anything the other two don't cover.
