Xbox One exclusives hardly ever reach the 9s....in the case of Halo I have seen degradation in quality (single player) since Bungie left. However I am surprised Gears 5 didn't at least reach that threshold. It matters even if people want to do downplay Metacritcs influence. BotW is an example of a game that scored plenty of 10s every where and we saw what it did for the Switch at Launch. That said I have immensely enjoyed games rated in the 8 range for years, but Microsoft needs a huge Critical hit when they Launch their next gen system next year...since we all Know Sony's Last of Us 2 will get in the mid 90s range once it is out.
