Will a Sony game ever reach a 97+ score?

Plenty deserve it. Ico, Metal Gear Solid 3, Demon's Souls, etc. It just hasn't happened yet.

I don't expect it to happen this gen, either. There are more critics and publications than ever before and it's difficult to please everyone. The Last of Us Part II and God of War should score well, if their pedigree is any indication, but the focus on cinematic storytelling can be polarizing. Uncharted 4 suffered from lower-than-average scores based on being an "interactive movie" and for treating the player as a "passive...participant."

2 our of your first 3 games are not even Sony games.

That said, I see no reason whatsoever that Sony cannot produce a 97+ scored game.  They have some great talent and many games have come close.  I'd say it's more a matter of when, not if.

Oh right. Duh. Well, from a first-party perspective then only Ico deserves it. You could count Demon's Souls if you treat Sony-published games as first-party.
