Metacritic teaches us new math every day. (88 + 96 + 92)/3 = 86.

So, according to you logic, Halo:MCC should have received 93? (97+95+94+87)/4?

Or could it be that games, I don't know, age?

Yes. If games were actually aging, reviewers would adjust all scores every year, but apparently they don't.

This only shows how broken and inapt the points system really is. A good score will always be good no matter how badly a game ages and a bad score will always be bad no matter how much the game improves after launch.

Basically, what we should do, is review games at launch and after a year delete all the scores until someone reviews it again. Basically give review scores a "best before" label.
