Well, Gears of War 4 released in the same generation as Gears of War 5, so Gears of War 5's score should be reflected against that... It doesn't need to be a 95, it just needs a score higher than Gears of War 4. |
High scores may bring some additional sales, but being on gamerpass it is likely that anyone not sure if they will like or want to buy may at least try a short sub to test the game, so I agree there isn't much issue on the 85 itself (and also agree that a better game should have a higher score, but to many times that isn't true on the reviews).
And about the consistency, professionalism, objectivity, etc of reviewers that is a discussion almost all metacritic threads have and usually most agree reviewers do a poor job.
