I've noticed that the average rating bar on GOG game pages doesn't represent the actual score anymore. Why is that?

Take for instance Wasteland 2, the negative user reviews are through the roof but we still have an average rating of 4/5. Has GOG changed management?

The average score is not based on users reviews, but on users rating. In this case, it would mean that probably many of those who assigned it an high rating did not also write a review.

I see 2 1-star reviews, 4 each of 2- and 3-star ones, 6 4-star ones, and 12 5-star ones. That gives an average of 3.79 on just the 28 ratings that has reviews with them (that is, not counting the very many invisible ratings that are also accounted for in the displayed rating), which rounds up to 4. I don't see anything wrong.

Was it based on user reviews before the "new look"?

I think it was the same as now.

I don't know what it is, but ever since GOG got reskinned the average scores for each and every game seem much better.

I haven't yet seen any game with an average score below 4/5.

OMG, poor little Master of Orion 3...

I don't know, I guess GOG games always had mostly good scores, even before the sites "reimagining". Personally, I think we have nostalgia to blame for that...

It's GOG, not OG. :)

Mostly unsurprising. DLC's, flawed games and shovelware galore, but there is one game there that caught me by surprise: Gods Will Be Watching. Dear lord, can it really be that bad?
