7.75/10, what a truly atrocious score. The game must be beyond crap, this is likely the worst game released in years with such an infernal score to it's name.

8 is the new 5.

Lol,  and 9 is the new 8.  You gotta admit Its crazy how inflated game scores are.  I wish games were given 0 to 4 stars like how movies are rated.

I used to think that a 10 score system with decimals would provide more nuance to reviews and review scores. Needless to say, I was dead (pun intended) wrong. The good 'ole six sided dice works better in my opinion since it forces reviewers to be more consistent and stop adding or substracting decimals or whole points on the basis of minor things. In short, another system would force a more thought through review.
