Both games are in low 90s, not mid or high 90s. The only two games that manage a 94+ score on PS4 are enhanced editions of last gen games (TLoU and GTA V). For comparisons sake I looked at all PS3 games on metacritic rated 90+ and same with PS4 games. I counted the games that were made for that generation, so excluded enhanced editions, or HD ports. PS3 has 49 games rated 90+. Of those 7 being sports games. 3 being music games. And 6 being downloadable only games. PS4 has 6 games rated 90+. Of those 1 is downloadable only game. I realize that PS3 has had more time, but the difference shouldn't be that massive. It should be at least a third of that number. So either critics have gotten way harsher and don't give out as high scores anymore, or the quality of games has significantly gone down (which I wouldn't agree with). |
They have gotten harsher, or more accurately stated better.
Last gen reviews were a joke. Basically every game got a 8 or 9. They just handed out great scores like candy. I think it had a lot to do with ad revenue. You couldn't go to any of these sites and not see giant baners all over the site advertising teh very game that was just reviewed or going to be soon.
Look at those 49 games that are 90+. Do they really all deserve that good of a rating?
