Even though they have a weighted system I doubt there’ll ever be a game on Metacritic that hits 100, there’s always going to be one or two critics who like something just a tad bit less than the majority.

Though I guess if anything can do it it would probably be a Zelda or Mario.

What’s the verdict for stuff like Bruce Springsteen’s The Promise? To my understanding the songs were all recorded in the late 70’s but were unreleased until 2010 so I would assume it qualifies.
