Can another 100 bump the score to 90+?

Probably not even 7 or 8 more 100s, it just went from 88 to 89, it's nowhere near close to climb to 90, considering the amount of reviews it already have (101 currently), any is only responsible for a bit less than 1% of the total score, and with it being a 89, a 100 would bump it just 11 points, which divided for 101+ (102, 103, 104... etc with every new review posted) amounts for only around 0,1 on the total score, so let's say it reached 88,5 or 89 (whatever MC considers enough to bump a score a point up), it would need around 9 to 10 more 100s, and only 100s, to climb to 89,5 or 90.

That said, they do weight their scores differently, so the math may not be perfect, but all of the major reviewers already posted theirs and I don't think any new review can have a major weight on the score anymore.

Sadly the mixed reviews really killed this from being a 90+ title, kind of sucks really... it feels like Uncharted all over again where everyone seemed to love the game and give high to perfect scores but there was just that 1 or 4 dudes who gave a score so low compared to everyone else that they truly really feel like clickbait articles.

I wonder what the score would have been without those 4 mixed reviews...

Honestly it looks much better than Uncharted did, back in the day.

Uncharted evolved a lot, it had plenty of room for that, Horizon already feels like Uncharted 2, IMO, I can't see it having any kind of major update like Uncharted had from 1 to 2, Horizon already feels like a very polished and accomplished game, to me, but I'll confirm it as soon as I'm able to play it.

By the way, Uncharted 88 is actually ahead of my personal score, but pretty close (mine being a 8.5), and as of now, Horizon seems much, much above of a 89, pretty much like Demon's/Dark Souls were.

POSSIBLE SPOILERS, I DON'T THINK IT IS, BUT YOU ARE WARNED 'CAUSE I KNOW YOU XD
I saw a guy hacking aligators and t-rex and putting them to fight their equals, and ffs, what an amazing thing, it was just incredibly fun to watch xD

Well damn im not gonna blame you because you did warned me but that sounds amazing lol, beyond amazing actually i would have never thought that was possible, wish i saw it for the first time in the game but welp i ignored the warning thinking it wouldnt be anything i would consider significant/important, but that just sounds so F#cking Cool MAN! XD.



I just finished it last night. Easily one of the best games on the ps4. Metacritic is a joke



This has quickly become my favorite game of this gen so far. It's the most beautiful game I've ever played, and it has a shockingly addicting gameplay and a story and characters that are so just so likable. I hope this becomes one of PlayStation's biggest franchises ever..

I never expected to really like this game...and I love it. The combat is just so good, you feel challenged and empowered and everything is so fluid.  The enemy AI is really impressive and it is just georgeous.  I almost never take screenshots, but after I came across a Thunderjaw and tried my luck (which took a long time to take down) I couldn't help but show off.

One of the biggest surprises for me in gaming of the past ten years. Well done GG and Sony.

You could say that Horizon has been robbed of a 95 on Metacritic right?

On holiday in the US for 3 weeks. A few days in and already missing Horizon. My wife found me this morning weeping over a picture of Aloy. Good job she didn't walk in on me 10 minutes earlier.

Or walking into you "playing" with Nier's 2B.

That joke is lost on me sorry. I feel like I've let you and I down. Please accept my deepest and most sincere apology.

I don't get worked up about critics, all I will say is I'd suggest it to everyone to try this game.  I really hope it sells millions and becomes a huge success story for Sony as admire them taking a chance and it turning out so well.



60% complete. 40+ hours in. Can't get enough.

Well they did sell 2.6 million units of this game in its first two weeks and it's probably over 3 million by now . So it could become Sony is biggest Succes since Uncharted 4 and the biggest non naughty dog exclusive on PS4. I would say that's pretty successful.



Please excuse my (probally) poor grammar
