Indeed. There is a clear benefit given to indie games and a lack of coherence in commercial reviews.
For example a game like Fez might get a 90 and a game like say mass effect 2 may get a 90 aswell. Are these games of comparable quality? I dont see how. One can make the argument that fez is much cheaper, but not only all games drop massively in price as that rule, to be true, is not used for every title. Say Ratchet and clank into the nexus. It was a cheaper game but was judged as a max price one. Borderlands 2 vita, costs 30 euros, was judge againt the pc and ps3 version. Many more cases like that.
A rule to exist needs to be applied to all and not just some. I understand the will to incentivate indies, but to inflate their ego is not the way to make them improve. A critique must be fair across the board and not make exceptions for some, but not others.
Sorry i went on a tangent there, this isnt meant as a critique to the ps4 but to commercial reviewers in general.
