I still don’t know why everyone assumes the later reviews will be negative. This isn’t a Starfield situation where they deliberately withheld review copies.

The next 5 reviews can range from 8-10’s just like the 130 before them
Yeah, but a couple of more 8’s or one more 7 can drop it. Later reviews usually tend to be more mixed to negative.

To be fair I just finished the second bit with her in SM2 and it is definitely way more fun than in the first game. They are mercifully brief and you aren't a helpless moron, not even for a little bit this time.

In general I love stealth in gaming. Used to spent up to 1+ hour on Rainbow 6 Vegas 2 on PS3 on one mission as if you die you restart and it was very hard. Also enjoying the hell out of Ghost Recon Breakpoint after the patched it with realistic approach after their disastrous RPG launch. I highly recommend it especially if you have Extra as it's there AFAIK, not sure if I got it via Extra or monthly games. Playing at the highest difficulty is recommended, would give you MGSV vibes with really good story and gameplay.

No.
Edge weight at 0.75

The mean should be around 90.4x. Edge's 8 should drop it to around 90-90.1x

I used @ethomaz data to calculate so

Ah I put noisy Pixel at 1.25 instead of 0.5

It is 8.974(4)

Spidey 2 is still lowest 90 game according to all time best on meta.

8/10

Yeah, saw it.

I dunno if it will stay at 90 but it deserves to be over 90. It's just difficult when every Tom, Dick and Harry can get on Metacritic and give their opinion and so many are on the 5 star system, meaning tons are 80's....pulling down the average and then others are looking to grow their site more than give an honest review and a shitty review is the quick way to pump up the numbers.

Curios that didn’t dropped to 89. Jimquisition is hard on meta. Or maybe all time best list is bugged in some way. So, this are the scores in last few days

Noisy 70
New York Daily 100
Stevivor 90
Jimquisition 80
Slant 100

Played way too much last night!

It definitely has addictive gameplay. Helps a lot when you unlock stuff too.

I think I'm near the end and from what I've seen so far, there will be a few things I didn't like, mostly to do with boss battles.

But this is the first Sony sequel in a long time that didn't disappoint me, story wise. They went all in on this one. Probably my favorite game in years.

The thing I'll be disappointed about is *HEAVY SPOILERS*

The fact that I think Venom won't be in this game. Maybe as a tease at the end. I just took the suit off of Pete and it seems like Venom won't play a major role in the story. Probably saved for DLC.

And boss battles sometimes take too long. Taking down a boss' health bar 3 times is pushing it a bit too far.

Other than that, an excellent game.

I think the list is bugged.

241. System Shock 2 - 92
242. Fez - 91

343. Marvel's Spider-Man 2 - 91 (Last 91 Metacritic game)
344. NBA Streets Vol. 2 - 90

474. Cyberpunk 2077: Phantom Liberty - 90
475. WarioWare, Inc - 89


It needs to move to at least 241 to reach 92.

Probably needs a few more 100 ratings to reach it.

The last 90th game was Cyberpunk, and now it's Spider-Man. The game right under it is now Tiger Woods 2004 at 89.

The last 92 game is Xenoblade Chronicles 3: Expansion Pass Wave 4. Right below is Far Cry 3 instead of Fez.

Based on the latest scores added how can 70 outweigh the other scores to bring the average down to 90?

Metacritic needs to explain how it calculates this crap.

Especially since Noisy Pixel is a .net website. Their score should not be that significant. If Edge gave it a 7 and it dropped, then I could understand it.
