Is there an error in the post or some secret paragraph about Switch, Tycho hid in the broken Metacritic link?

It's a mistake. The dig on the Metacritic of 53 is about Has-Been Heroes, not Steamworld Dig 2. I assume he just accidentally kept typing inside the URL for the comic. The link is there in the source, it's just rendered non-functional by the other text.
And speaking of Has-Been Heroes, it only has a Critic's Meta Score of 53. The User rating is in the 80s. I find that kind of disparity interesting. The other way (when critics score a game more highly than users) is usually due to some internet rage (no-LAN support, private servers, etc ...). But when it's critics that don't dig it, it's either because there are great aspects to a flawed game situation (Deadly Premonition), or the game just doesn't fit in the usual boxes and it seems like the critics can't handle that. And I find they usually come around in time.

That this game exists is awesome regardless.
Or they thought it sounded like an AO game.
