Sure. Let's check "One Of The All-Time Greatest PC Ports":
I have the game. It doesn't. The issues at launch such as AF being broken, incorrect snow deformation, crashes, and others were all fixed within a month.

And the negative reviews are because of the tons of microtransactions and the game feeling incomplete (lack of split-screen, xp boosts, and a grindy multiplayer). You can literally fucking see them in the review history. The game has 17K reviews, once again, about 10% of the reviews that are negative came out on the first day. A 30-second search through the first few days of reviews will tell you exactly why. Here they are since you're visibly too lazy to get proper context.
Steam scores are not review scores. Do you even play on PC? Or am I talking to another ignorant fanboy who doesn't even understand how the platform works?
But let's take this a step further. Why does HZD only have 74% Positive Reviews in the last 30 days when it historically was much higher? Here we can see that on the 5th of May (and a few days around that date), the game was hit by more negative reviews than usual.
But what happened around that time? Oh, yes! The Helldivers II fiasco. Players took to negatively review the game in protest.
Understand now or do I have to make it clearer? You thought you were cooking with Gears 5 but ended up owning yourself further. HZD no longer has issues on PC, they were almost all fixed. You clearly don't play the game on PC, so who are you to say whether the game still has issues or not? I played the game on Day 1 and gradually saw the fixes from GG and Virtuos rolled out to address the various issues.
Huh, huh.
Letting slide the blind rambling, and how if you actually played Zero Dawn on console you would have realized what's still wrong with the PC port, which among some other little things no matter the hardware feature severe fluctuations and stutter occurring in key areas that are rock solid on console, of course there're always going to be something, there's going to be something in every single negative opinion about everything because that's what's justifying those very same opinions. Want to filter each and every review to assess which refer to the game structure and which to surrounding aspects?
The game's quality DOES have to do with Steam scores but the Steam score is NOT a review score. A game that has 95% Positive Reviews on Steam isn't a 9.5/10 game. It simply means that the game runs well and is largely devoid of issues. You can't use it as a measure of how good a game is as you foolishly tried to do. I mean, look at Mad Max for instance.
I didn't say it was mediocre garbage. I said it was a mediocre game compared to most open-world games (the AAA ones at least) and it is. It doesn't rank highly and gets outdone by a shitload of them. I like the first game well enough, having platinum'd it on PS4 and finished it on PC. The sequel did almost nothing to address the issues of the original and as such, I stopped after running into the Eclipse or whatever the name of those ancient humans is. This was in response to Killjoy stating people are jealous of that game, which is nonsensical because there are tons of better games. He was talking about the polish and production values of the game anyway, not how good it actually is. Hell, even the PlayStation poll had both games losing in the first round, including Zero Dawn getting beaten out by Ghost of Tsushima. Then again, GOW 2018 lost to freakin' Ragnarok, so this poll doesn't have much credibility anyway.
Surely it no longer impacts the score as much, just like the other games you listed, but simply because you're not very observant doesn't mean others should be as well. If you want to quickly check, in the comment section of the most recent DF coverage of the PC port of Zero Dawn (highlighting some of the issues but especially the complicated nature of such issues) filter by newest comment and witness RTX Super users noticing them still.

Do you really think the game is a fucking 9.1-9.5/10?
And "it is according to hardcore PC gamer Gaiff", nothing more than a personal opinion found within a distant minority from the general consensus.
Yeah, so thanks for conceding. You tried to argue that HZD still had enough issues to impact its score like Fallout 4 and Cyberpunk but now you're admitting this is not the case. The review scores on Steam have been largely positive for years and the problems have been addressed for the most part, hence why you no longer see the bad reviews you did the first few weeks. If it still had problems as you say, then we'd still be seeing a large amount of bad reviews.
It's a competent game that ran well out of the gate and has no controversy attached to it. This is all it takes to get very good reviews on Steam. Just Cause 3 has a much higher score on Steam than 4 and it's not because it's way better, it's because 4 runs like shit. Look at the highest-rated Steam games and you'll find a shitload of not-so-good games with an Overwhelmingly Positive rating.
Maybe not 9.5 or whatever the hell these kind of numbers mean, which is nothing to me, but Mad Max is notoriously almost legendary at this point and beloved to death by pretty much all I've talked to (the pleasures of multiplatform releases quasi-unanimity).
Nah, it got destroyed by Ghost of Tsushima in the Sony poll and both Horizon games lost in the first round. Second widest margin after GOW 2018 vs Gran Turismo, which, being a racing game, never stood a chance.
