Edge just being Edge. Scores Sony exclusives lower than the average, scores Nintendo exclusives higher than the average.

Have you played both of these games? No? Then there's no way to know this is the case for these games, eh? Okay then.

One thing Metacritic is good for is to test that statement, Maro + Rabbids meta 85, check. Knack 2 meta 70, check.

I haven't played either but bought Knack 2 for co-op. My wife and kids have already been enjoying it a lot.

And it's not just Knack - Matterfall, Uncharted and Yakuza Kiwami as well. And I use Opencritic to avoid weightage.

 but they gave yakuza kiwami an 8 which is just about right

But it is 82 on OpenCritic so 82 without weightage.

Edge gives out really bogus scores sometimes. It's just weird. This issue I agree with their scores though.

Actually I'd say Edge is usually one of the fairer ones but okay. Cover of the magazine is cool, I'd almost get a subscription just for those covers each month. Mario + Rabbids seemed to have shaped up better than I ever thought it would, but still don't feel the need to own this game. Expected Knack 2 to get a 12.

They gave ARMS a 9.
