Who thinks it’ll land at 96? Uncharted 4 had around 110 reviews, so there should be some left for God of War as well :)

Can't wait but I have to he careful with spoilers.

Bah!

So for the greyed out reviews on the bottom of the page, are only the reviews with the clock symbol the ones that will eventually get a score? And the ones with the 3 horizontal dots are review sites that don’t assign scores?

I think certain games have less flaws than others, so where a game like Uncharted 4 has really high highs, it has obvious lows in it's pacing among other things. This is more likely to cause lower reviews. GoW seems to have very little glaring flaws if any going by everything I've read, leaving a more general consensus of it's quality, thus the MC average increase. It sort of stands with Resident Evil 4 and BoTW in terms of huge shakeup of the franchise, where was Uncharted 4 was more about improving a tried and true formula.

I had literally zero interest in picking this up at release. But all those perfect scores and wanting to avoid any "last of us-esque" spoilers should they smack me in the face is making me change my mind.

I remember that, and metacritic wouldn't remove the review. I actually see GoW staying at 95 to be honest though. Might even reach 96 if a few more 10/10's come through, though it would be constantly in danger of dropping to a 95.

We'll see. It's starting to climb pretty high into the 95 range. If it keeps getting perfect scores like most of the recent reviews added, it could even get to 96 for a moment. Unless someone comes in with a 6/10 score or lower, it could stay at 95. This one really seems to be uniting the industry. While it's not getting quite as many perfects as BotW or Odyssey, it's yet to get as low of a score as either of them had by this point either (Odyssey got its first sub 80 around the 30 mark and BotW around the 75 mark). 

Sweet, thanks for the info man! I never knew that. That’s good for GoW when it comes to the Kotaku and Eurogamer reviews then. I didn’t read much of either bc I feared spoilers, but what I read seemed more negative than positive. 

What else has QtT reviewed infamously badly? They didn’t review Uncharted 4 that I saw. And taking until May to review is ridiculous. I don’t see how that’s even allowed. You can have so many things spoiled by that time.
