So? Aren't gamers always whining about scores being too inflated anyways?

In line with expectations. I prefer not to read much, but I like the idea of embracing a slower, contemplative pace. The most impactful works in the last five years have followed that template. It truly elevated the final material as a result.
With the sources they've used as inspiration, plus that Roger Deakins' lighting the game has going, this could be their most mature, realistic work. All by leaving modern society and its conventions aside.

daaang, I'll have to get this. I'll try to wait as long as possible tho to bring down week 1 sales.
He works at Variety now? Thought he was getting out of the game industry.
I was closer with my 102 Meta prediction than many itt!
*Based on 22 critics
The PS4 version has 50+ now. Can't really say it's #1 game on MC since more reviews are obviously going to be done on the more popular console.
I thought previews said this wasn't true, that NPCs always provide detailed directions and landmarks.
Does that mean they are better than what most other open world ones end up with?
Watched EZA review. Really remarkable. One thing I am a little hesitant on is your horse not being able to be called everywhere. I guess Odyssey has spoiled me but I love the option to get in and get out whenever, wherever, but alas, that's not realistic and I know RDR2 is going for the most realistic approach that it can.
It shouldn't be too surprising that some sites give a lower score, because this game isn't for everyone like a GTA game is almost for anyone really. What did Slant give RDR? Or weren't they around at that time yet?
Not always, only with the games they dislike and the companies they hate
The version with the lower number of reviews tend to have higher average most of the time. Nothing strange about that.
The X is obviously going to have the best version of the game as it's the most powerful. You're surprised?
If you're comparing the metacritic scores between the two (a difference of two points lol) that doesn't make any sense considering the One has way less reviews.
Any of these reviews go in to detail on the controls and shooting? I think I might hate GTA snap aim combat so I'm hoping this controls more like Max Payne 3.
I guess I should state they do call it a "review in progress". And since it's not a written review and doesn't have an assigned metacritic or anything, I think it's fair.
At the top of Metacritic's list, but has 98 rather than OoT's 99?
How does that work? Just hasn't updated with new reviews, or?

How does that even work? Why is it top?
Ocarina is at 99 with 22 reviews and RDR2 X1 is at 98 with 22...but it's top...how? Lol.
He's been doing reviews on and off for different high profile mags for a while now, I think. Nice little side gigs, sounds like. He's not a fan of Rockstar games beyond Bully, so it surprises me he even chose to review this.
And literally all the PS4 reviews will be on a pro, don't kid yourself.
X1X sounds like its an amazing enough experience graphically to make up for it.
The difference on this game is not enough to warrant such a divide besides some of the reviews are the same for both platforms like for example IGN while the reviewer obviously finished the game on only one platform. It's just stupid.
Out of 52 reviews the lowest(excluding slant and their 70) is 88, and then all 90s
Make of that what you will
I think that might be the most interesting review for a game I've ever read. Thanks for sharing, Jason!
is the feedback of shooting good?
The combat in GTAV was not very good at all, one of the problems was that feedback felt weak.

FUCK FUCK FUCK...
I'm only about 60% through Assasins Creed Odyssey and I know that if I start RDR2, I'll likely not ever come back to it.

Slant review reads like an Era post in 12-18 months. Just ahead of the curve.From the Slant review:
Maybe this is wrong then. Only coverage I've digested is the giantbomb quick look and they dont always get things right. That sure would be a mind boggling/amazing way to spend dev resources.
Yeah I have high hopes for RDR2 off the reviews but ehhh ill see for myself lol.
History will not be kind on BOTW, that's for sure.
