MCC should get credit.

Looks like the games you mention are the only ones left for a 90+ (dunno about Ori).

So how many games total this year 90+?

Shovel Knight (though its an indie), Dark Souls II? South Park? (forgot)

Hardly any, probably the worst for 90+ rated games.

Metacitic is a joke (and always has been looking back) but I think 85+ is the new 90+

How is it a joke when it just compiles the reviews of games?

Gamerankings just compiles all reviews and averages them.

Metacritic applies some kind of weighting formula, where they give more importance to some reviews, and less importance to other reviews.  They keep the exact weighting a secret.
