I am expecting several troll reviews since this seems like the best game ever and the hype is huge.
And a 8 or 9 from EDGE, mainly because it's not one certain console manufacturer's exclusive.

You do realize this kind of sentiment is why game scoring is out of whack? One: you’re calling 8 and 9 low-ball scores. Two: you’re just assuming the consensus is correct on a game you’ve never played. Edit: I see you’re calling out only Edge, so I cheerfully withdraw my last bullet point; my mistake!

The unrealistic, partisan expectations of fans is as much to blame for the toxic Metacritic culture as lazy/nepotistic reviewers.

It has always been view that 10s are thrown around way too much, that they lost all meaning. I am pretty sure this game deserves its high scores, but so many games fall under the category of rated too high because the system is completely broken. I could understand if I was super fan, of the games I playing that all the games deserve 10s, but that isn't a critical eye.
