Can you give us some examples? |
Sure. Take any recent indie game for starters:
Castlestorm: 397 (reviews are inflated because you can rate the demo version as well)
Proteus: 122
Lone Survivor: 320
All of them noticeably lower (and not getting anywhere near to the numbers of bigger indie games from earlier in the year):
Farming Simulator: 820
Guacamelee: 2034
Hotline Miami: 1912
Tried to do my best of like-for-like comparisons of games which haven't been on PS+. Two of those games (Hotline Miami and Guacamelee) have been discounted, but the ratings for those first 3 games aren't going to shoot up by 1500 a pop when they get a discount.
For retail games, recent stuff like:
Batman Arkham Origins: Blackgate: 186
FIFA 14: 99
Rayman Legends: 468
Seems to be low compared to what I expect. Even this year's biggest exclusive, Killzone Mercenary, is only on 1825. To draw a few comparisons:
FIFA 13: 896
Need for Speed: Most Wanted: 1982
Rayman Origins: 6127 (reviews are inflated because you can rate the demo version as well)
Obviously, this year's games will grow with time, but titles just seem to be down across the board. Normally big games get a rush of reviews in the first week or so, but recent titles seem to be struggling with it.
