Also just remember that even though the publication is the same it is likely that the review was made by different people so the fact the reviewer think the game is better the score may be lower (because it wasn't his score on the previous game). |
Yes, most big publications have different reviewers. I think it is just a bit shocking as Gears 5 is seen as one of Microsoft's big guns and it delivers the goods as far the series goes. It seems this gen in particular there has been a lot of scrutiny over Metacritic/Gameranking scores for big titles and exclusives. Let's remember HZD which ranked in the 80s though plenty of people loved it (myself included), very few games get to that mid 90s range. I still value Metacritic ....rarely has a game in the 90s range not turned out to be special. So I usually jump in blindfolded of a game gets those scores.
