IGN Score Found Here: http://www.metacritic.com/game/pc/soma IGN quite often posts
their scores to Metacritic before their actual review comes out. They did the same with
MGSV, Dark Souls II, FarCry 4 and so on.

Because some people dont know how to use google, heres a screengrab of PSBlog's score:

Those are just scores, right?

I tried looking for the reviews and I don't see anything. Last PS Blog article was the 18th?

Yeah, I cant find the actual articles, but if you google "SOMA game review" you can see both IGN and PSBlog's scores for the game. IGN gave it a 77/100 and PSBlog gave it a 4.6/5 which equal to a 7.7/10 and 8.5/10 respectively.

Remember that if you are going to post reviews to post links to the original sources of such reviews. I am looking at IGN's page right now and they have not updated with a score yet as of this moment.

Also if you find such sources, remember to verify them on the original parent site before getting too excited and posting on the forums.

PSBlog's score is show at the top of this page. the 4.6/5 translates to 8.5/10
https://www.google.ca/webhp?sourceid=chrome-instant&ion=1&espv=2&ie=UTF-8#q=SOMA+game+review

IGN's score can be found on metacritic. the 77/100 translates to 7.7/10
It is not uncommon for IGN to post their score on Metacritic before their
review comes out. Same thing happened with MGSV, Dark Souls II, Far Cry 4 and more.

The IGN one checks out as it is posted by IGN Spain under the PC version of the game as seen here: http://www.metacritic.com/game/pc/soma

For the PSBlog review though, you should post a screenshot or link directly to the page that claims it has such a score because the results that show up on my end on Google do not include the mentioned score by PSBlog.

If you go through and check, IGN US, IGN AU and IGN Spain all have unified scores, they are literally the same.

I did not deny that at all, nor did I even bring up that I thought that was not the case.

I was asking that you verify the PSBlog review score (Not the IGN one) since I cannot do so on my end. The google results that you have gotten are seemingly different than mine since I cannot see anything related to that in the results

You seem awfully high on yourself like you think you're staff, but whatever, here you go.

Actually, 4.6/5 translates to 9.2/10.

And now I'm out! Shouldn't even have clicked this thread but it was too tempting Blush *must resist reading reviews before playing the game*
