Thats not strictly true.

Quantic Dreams games have next to no actual gameplay. Yet scored well. Naughty Dog games are as linear as a piece of string with repetitive gameplay and score amazing. All these games are cutscene heaven and cinematic. Ryse is that same cloth. Repetitve gameplay with strong pont of cinematic story. Yet scored rubbish.

I think its only Sony orientated cinematic games that seem acceptable

I must say as someone who has played and enjoyed Ryse.The score it got is fine I would not give it more than a70. It is nowhere near the level of Uncharted or say Heavy Rain for example if you ask me. Naughty Dog games while being linear and having lots of cutscences and stuff are FAR more polished than Ryse was.

Again I enjoyed Ryse and it is a BEAUTIFUL game but it is stale, the gameplay and controls are not as fluid as theys hould be and the story is mediocre. Just because I enjoyed the game and feel that it looks great I can see why it scored rubbish. So it is not only "SOny orientated" cinematic games that seem acceptable, it is just the ones you mentioned are better games....as far as scoring goes.
