Be mindful to withhold judgment until the game gets closer to release. It is common practice in the industry to mandate a certain review score from third parties that obtain early access. The publisher can dictate to the reviewers, and it has happened quite often.

This is a classic trap that members fall into time and again. They rush to judge, because reviewers play ball with publishers. Then the game is released and a number of reviews arrive that pull the score down. The result is that sometimes a game that is highly acclaimed early on can end up with sub par averages.

Not saying this is the case, but it is always better to be safe then Sorry. Better to not set your expectations too high. There could still be a number of reviewers that are not enthralled by the game that have their mouths taped shut. In fact the longer it takes more reviews to appear the more likely this is the case.

 

            Dodece makes a good point about expectations, and also about the metacritic average.  It's more likely than not that the game's average will slip lower from here, as some negative reviews come out, particularly because of the way companies manage reviews.

          I think a lot of people have been waiting to see if the game has an achilles heel that hurts the overall experience, because the graphics and physics seem so impressive.  With that in mind, there's still the possibility that someone out there will be annoyed enough by something in the game that it will be ruined for them, and a review like that, as Dodece says, probably won't appear until later on.  The question is, will there be one of them or ten of them?

That said, congrats to Guerilla Games for tearing it up so far.  Good to see all these European developers making great games.

Just trying to protect the community. I know it is next to futile. The swagger shall be built, and then the critical reviews will arrive at or around launch day, and the second coming is going to get it some tarnish. Ironically this score actually lowers the average thus far.



resistance and gears have both 9.5 so are better games?
