Congrats to anyone who predicted high scores for Clair Obscur.

Personally I looked at the scores for the previous 2 Doom games, Doom 2016 and Doom Eternal, which were 86 and 89 on Opencritic, took the 89 from Eternal, and then minused a few points in order to take into account critics who don't like change, figuring there will be some critics who are unhappy about the slower gameplay pace and medieval setting compared to the faster pace and sci-fi setting of the other Doom games. Ended up back at the same 86 as Doom 2016. Could easily end up higher and possibly even lower than that, but that was my thought process. 

Raising Death Stranding 2 again (sorry!) to 91.

Changing Death Stranding 2 to 92.

Death Stranding 2: 86 -> 91

Mario Kart world 90
Donkey kong 86
Increasing death stranding 2 to 90

I'm back and had quite a few predictions to fill in. As for new games Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 has released to wide acclaim at a current score of 92,  amazingly exactly what a certain Funktown predicted, and DOOM: The Dark Ages has also released to quite solid reviews at 86, an exact match for @Wman1996 and @shikamaru317 so far.

I'll also get around to the first score tally of the year hopefully before too long.

Hah. I finally got close to one, this has been the year of surprises.

Donkey Kong Bananza 88

Crimson Desert looking like potential GOTY material and should be added.
