What? Why?

Magazines are treated differently than online reviews. Metacritic add reviews from magazines once they're published. And since the Horizon review (as well as Nioh and Zelda) is in the April issue it won't be added until then. The March issue of EDGE isn't even on Metacritic yet.

Zelda has its Edge review up on its metacritic already so this isn't true.

No, what?

Bet with Adamblaziken:

I bet that on launch the Nintendo Switch will have no built in in-game voice chat. He bets that it will. The winner gets six months of avatar control over the other user.

Looks like another game leveled up Nioh is now an 88 on Metacritic.

Zelda has its Edge review up on its metacritic already so this isn't true.

That's because Nintendo UK gave EDGE the exclusive first review.

The rest of the April reviews will show up on Metacritic in a few weeks.

First exclusive review? Is that why they gave it a 10?

I'm not sure how those deals work. This explains it a little:

The average isn't gonna change much with a score 2 points above it...

Bet with PeH:

I win if Arms sells over 700 000 units worldwide by the end of 2017.

Bet with WagnerPaiva:

I win if Emmanuel Macron wins the french presidential election May 7th 2017.

95 from Let's Play Video Games

The score remains the same

Horizon is now the second highest rated 88, EDGE 90 should make it climb to 89

Always a really good sign when scores rise instead of decrease, over time

Like Nioh!.
