So this month's magazine has just landed so it's the time of the month where we all argue over scores with no context given.
There's a bit preview of RDR2. My phone camera is busted so I can't snapshot the cover, but someone has posted one version of it in the RDR2 preview thread. I received a different cover with the male gunslinger (not sure if subscriber cover).
Surprisingly, no AC: Odyssey review this month
For a bit of fun, and for those who don't have the magazine, I've left out two scores and filled in a paragraph of text. See if you can guess the score from the final paragraph.
Reviews
Destiny 2: Forsaken - ?
"Forsaken's biggest achievement is that it doesn't matter that we're weeks away from being raid-ready....
Bungie has successfully remedied two of the most frequent criticisms of Destiny: that there isn't enough to do and that it's endgame is overly focused on raiding. We're cautious: History has told us that Bungie is only ever one new release from messing everything up again, but it finally feels like the developer is listening and more crucially, learning.
Cayde-6 may be gone but the game he leaves behind is in better shape than ever"
Shadow Of The Tomb Raider - ?
"By then, any sense of coherence has long left the building. Disjointed and directionless, Croft's descent into darkness is, shockingly, one hell of a mess"
