It looks like Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain will have no difficulty holding onto a 90+ Metacritic average .

But that's becoming increasingly rare. In 2015, very few titles have managed to do that. So, the question heading into the always-busy fall is simple:

Which title has the best chance of wowing the critics to the point where we'll see another 90+ average? Is it Fallout 4 , the game many believe could challenge MGSV for Game of the Year? Or it could be Assassin's Creed Syndicate ? If Ubisoft has addressed the complaints leveled at the franchise when Unity released, it's more than possible (although only one title in the series, Assassin's Creed II , has hit the 90+ mark). Then again, it could be either Star Wars: Battlefront or Call of Duty: Black Ops III ?

Any other ideas?
