85 Metascore. Yeah, I'm pretty much lowballing here, and I don't really have a reason either. It's just a blind guess.

I'm going to guess 92 as it is previewing fantastically. I wouldn't be surprised if there were a number of scores that detracted heavily due to the platform it's on though (Polygon, I'm looking at you).

Mid-to high 80's. 86-87, I think a few reviews will detract score due the platform it's on and a few will add to the score for the same reason. And I also predict that both lovers and haters will whine about the review scores; that one you can take to the bank...

No matter what it scores, someone's gonna say "It'd be better if it were on PS4/X1 because reasons"

Yeah, it would have been better with better graphics, probably...

If ONM gave it a 93; that makes in quite unlikely that it will achieve a meta average in that range, the official magazines and sites are often quite a bit kinder than other, more independent sources. I stand by my mid-to high 80's.

A quick reviews roundup from NintendoEverything: http://nintendoeverything.com/bayonetta-2-reviews-roundup/

Mostly above 9's. Only elephant in the room was Polygon's. I read the first three paragraphs though and realized I didn't have to read the rest of it.

Metacritic currently at 93

Tagged as well :)

Wonder what Quarter to 3 will give it. They screwed up Forza's Meta by a point, not sure what they gave the original Bayonetta, but I'm happily surprised with this outcome.

Will get it day one just to support the devs. Played the first on 360, so I look forward to playing it again on the U.
