One of the troubles is that reviewers have gotten a bit more critical this gen, but most gamers are still entrenched in the old days when it seemed every big game would pull a high 80s/low 90s. To see legitimately good games like Alien Isolation and Dying Light pull 70s can be a bit confusing, since games like that used to get 85 and above. A number of my favorite games this gen have scored in the 70s. To be fair, though, my favorite game so far (this gen) is Bloodborne, which got a very high rating on metacritic.
