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.

Uncharted 4 suffered from a bait click review, a 4/10 from a guy that didn't want to play it, or videogames actually, and even used the fact the game was really good at something to somehow say it's a bad thing.

By then it was at 94 and saw the normal drop high rated games have, as it's really hard to keep such a high average with so many reviews.

I remember that, and metacritic wouldn't remove the review. I actually see GoW staying at 95 to be honest though. Might even reach 96 if a few more 10/10's come through, though it would be constantly in danger of dropping to a 95.
