I wouldn't expect that to last long though, a lot of reviewers still haven't played enough of it to give it a rating so right now the sample size is pretty small. Even IGN hasn't submitted their review yet, and usually they're early. The game is just really big.
I agree with a lot of your post - but it started at 92, after a few days it was 95, then 2 weeks after release its 97. If anything, more reviews will mean a higher score.
That assumes everyone is going to be rating it in the 90s, which is far from a guarantee even for games that absolutely deserve it. Especially when the cRPG genre isn't exactly an industry darling.
Do game journalists even rate things less than a 90 anyways?
Depends on if the cheque clears.
