What other game has just kept rising the ranks like this? Normally they start the highest and then drop. This started at 93 and now is half way towards a 96. Crazy.

Nioh started as 85 and finished as 88

I think certain games have less flaws than others, so where a game like Uncharted 4 has really high highs, it has obvious lows in it's pacing among other things. This is more likely to cause lower reviews. GoW seems to have very little glaring flaws if any going by everything I've read, leaving a more general consensus of it's quality, thus the MC average increase. It sort of stands with Resident Evil 4 and BoTW in terms of huge shakeup of the franchise, where was Uncharted 4 was more about improving a tried and true formula.
