I think Sunset Overdrive was fantastic and fresh. I think Killer Instinct is one of the best and freshest fighting experiences in years. Forza Horizon 2 is one of the best open world driving games ever. I haven't play Ori, but that's a game that almost hit 90.

Uncharted 3 scored in the 90s and basically more Uncharted 2. Journey is not the hit people think it is but reviews incredibly well. Smash Bros is kinda the same game its been since the 90s. Last of Us had great story but the gameplay is much to boast about.

So yeah, MS has great, unique stuff the competitors have no answer for. But it just doesn't do as well with the critics.

I'm not really sure about the point you're trying to make here. Are you implying that Microsoft games are underrated while Sony/Nintendo games are overrated? 

You also never really answered my question, what is it that Xbox exclusives lack that causes them to end up under 90? I also think you need to remember than critics are just gamers like you or I, the only difference is that they're given a platform to tell people how they feel about a game. So when you say things like "They just appeal to critics in a way MS games generally don't." you're saying that they appeal to people in a way MS games usually don't.

You may like certain games more than most people do, but that doesn't mean that the reviews aren't indicative of their quality.

I'm not gonna say MS games are under rated. But I absolutely believe some Sony and Nintendo games are over rated. I say that as someone that played/own some of the 90+ metacritic games.

I can think of reasons why Xbox games aren't scoring 90s, they arguably don't deserve a score like that. I also think some of the 90+ games on PS3/PS4 and Wii/Wii U are over rated. Hence, I feel sometimes critics are too generous.

Uncharted 3 and Smash Bros Wii U for example are too similar to their predecessors to deserve 90+ scores in my opinion. But whatever, that just shows I don't have the same feelings as many critics.
