Digital Trends is the new Polygon. Look at their Metacritic profile it is hilarious. Highest rate game is Sunset OD with a 100, lowest rated is The Order with a 20..... They gave every big XB1 exclusive a 90 or better last fall. (they are a newer site so they dont go back its seem much before last fall.

Bloodborne an 80, LBP3 a 60, The Order a 20, lolololol

Oh ya they gave Battlefield Hardline a 90... so bad... so so bad. The Evil Within a 40... Dragon Age Inquistion a 70..... These guys need to get pulled from Metacritic like yesterday.

Just look at their reviews and tell me they are not the worst reviewer you have ever seen.

I just not to be a consiracy theorist but these dudes are so bad. Literally every PS4 game or multiplat that trends better on a Sony platform gets crushed. They do seem to be fair to Nintendo.

What to do mate...  it's a shame; hopefully Sites that act like this will be banned soon or a lot less credit might be given to their scores.

If you give the Evil Within a 40/100, it means you understand nothing about videogames...nough said.

If only somebody told Knack, Killzone, Infamous, Driveclub and The Order that.


InFamous is in the 80s?

Yep, 80 is too low for it. Oh and First Light with 73 is way too low.


I agree because I loved the game but that one doesn't fit with the other games you listed because they're 70s and lower.

Oh well! I guess that's why I've never heard of them.

@Kapi, have you even played Journey? Or is it just your indie hatred talking?

You don't need to play a game to know that it will be far from enjoyable...


And to think we voted you the greatest new user of 2014. For shame Kapi, for shame.

We? Pretty sure you voted against me


Not in the finals, no.

Besides, I didn't vote against you, I merely voted for your competetion

They have thus far been a lot more generous with their scoring of X1 exclusives than PS4 ones (9, 9, 9, 10 vs 2, 6, 8, with each X1 score being higher than the average and each PS4 score lower), but the sample size really isn't large enough to start placing definitive labels on them.

Regardless to if they're legitimate though, I have to admit I disagree with a lot of the scores they've given (to both exclusives and multi-plats) :p

An 80 isn't "getting crushed".

No they are not the worst reviewer I have ever seen. Quarter to Three is. They throw 40s and 20s at any game they can. Including Playstation exclusives like Journey and Infamous SS so you don't think I'm being biased. They even gave TLOU a 60.

No the 80 in itself is okay. Yes it is still 12 points below the meta but it is reasonable. Did you miss the entire rest of the post? I dont have an issue with their BB score. I disagree to me its an easy 90 and would be a 100 across the board if not for framerate dips here and there and long loading early in the game.

My issue with their 80 arises from the total body of their work. Its not just about console exclusives... they shit on alot of good games. They need to go away.

BB is their highest rated PS4 exclusive at 80. They rated all the new XB1 exclusives releases a 90 or better last fall. Their reviews for PS4 exclusives is always below the meta, their reviews for XB1 games are above the meta. This seems to easy. They are not even trying to hide it.

Yeah after they give the Order 20, I went to check their history, all PS exclusives are way under metacritic while all Xbox eclusives are higher than metacritics.



Barkley on 03 April 2015

Wow... they gave Civilization: Beyond Earth a 90.

These guys give very weird scores.

ya... its by alot usually too. Like I was trying to point out when I made the OP these guys are the worst I think I have seen. It is just so blatant. Polygon is at least smart about it.
