I think Polygon is trying to harshly grade xbox exclusives to somehow prove they are not biased for xbox. Polygon reviews have been crap.

Reminds me about the 6 Polygon gave the first Forza Horizon. Was always fun to see some people in this forum complain about how Polygon gave a famous PS3 exclusive "only" a 7.5 because they are so biased but never mentioning that Forza Horizon got also only a 6.

And I also think editors try to give lower scores this gen (may change the next years). If they are more fair this or last gen is another question but they definitely changed their mindset at least a little if it comes to scores. The only games which got really great scores were remasters of games released on last gen in 2013 (TLoU and Diablo)  so that they can't really give them lower scores just one year later since they would have absolutely nothing as argument for these decisions. "I gave Diablo a 9 last year and a 7 this year because...uhmmm" wouldn't sound very trustworthy  but the rest seems to get harsher critics. 

The lower scores started around 3 years ago actually, if my memory serves correct.

Also that PS3 exclusive was the last of us. Not even close to the same level ;)

Supporting Insomniac and buying Sunset Overdrive Day One. Can't wait to see what advertising/marketing MS have up their sleeve.

Really hope Sunset Overdrive delivers. Has the impressions of the game really gone south? From what I saw it was positive reception. I'm still thinking it will have 70s meta though, low 80s at best.

Did pre-order it though :)

I'm glad they got the resolution crap out of the way a full month early.

well, TLoU got a 7.5 and Forza Horizon a 6 and that is 15 points difference. Since TLoU is a 95 game in reality and Fh 1 minimum a 80 game it IS the same stupid score for both. Both got around 20 or even 25 points too less from Polygon. But some people only want to see the undeserved scores for a agme on their console so that they don't see stuff like that.

Well one NEW free game is alright
