Kena: Bridge Of Spirits early review scores: MC 85 (19 critics), OC 85 (25 critics)

Totally agree, what is going on with game reviews lately? Seems like everything is getting huge review scores from the big review sites/magazines. Having played through about 8 hours of Deathloop I can definitively say that although it's a nice game it's very flawed, there's no way on earth it should have received so many 10/10s. This game apparently clocks in at 9 hours and is clearly a very derivative hack and slash action RPG. It's got good visuals but looks really boring and is a retread of scores of other games we've played dozens of times since N64. IGN gives it an 8.... Maybe game reviewers are sympathetic to the contractual stipulations of many game studios to pay bonuses based on review scores? I can understand that sympathy and relate BUT consumers need an unbiased voice to make purchasing decisions, especially when most games now cost $70.
