bold of you to assume that will release  



No. (Some, but not all) critics are plagued with click baits, and in some cases overly nitpicky. "Too much water" - IGN

that's true😉



Like everyone said, troll critics are clickbaiting with bad reviews on popular games. One french website said Smash Ultimate was the GOTY of 2014 because it was just a port of Smash 4 and was basically a scam.



The difference among 95, 96, 97 or 98% on Meta nowdays means nothing as we got the usual "troll/clickbait" reviews for any game; it depends how many troll reviews that specific game receives. It's enough a couple of clickbait crap reviews to lower the score, and these biased and unprofessional magazines always wait the last minute to see how much they should give the Game to lower the score; these people should be banned when this is obvious. Too easy to call their crap ""opinions"", when 95% of reviewers give the game a 9 or 9.5, or 10, and they give a 3/10 or a 4/10, with inconsistent and inconclusive motivations.

So we will ever see another 98% on Meta ? Does it really matter ? ↑ ↑ ↑

Furthermore, there are many other reviewers that might be slighty biased in the other way, giving perfect scores because they are somehow "loyal/biased" to that particular genre/developer. So how to come out from this? Some statistics remove 5-10% of scores from the Top reviews and 5-10% from the bottom for the calculation of the average. That's not my method, but it's like many other statistics on other subjects work, to be more reliable(score). Can it work on Metacritic ? I don't know, maybe this would sound "not diplomatic". My two cents.

I agree with this.
After things score above 90%+, I honestly dont care.
Does it matter if its 94? or 97?

GoW was amasing, and RDR2 is overrated imo.
I love jrpgs even ones that reviewers would give like 70's....
Honestly dont give too f***s about what reviewers/clickbaits/fanboyism determines is higher rated, by a few %.



Who knows what a tiny group of strangers on the internet are going to do in the future? Really, why would anyone even care?



Last of Us 2 and Cyberpunk 2077 objectively has the best chance given the track record of the developers. But beyond those games you have the usual bunch that receives raving reviews from critics; GTA 6, ES6, Next Mario 3D, Next Zelda, and Red Dead 3?
