Well a recent PC game took a hit in score because it graphic was nothing special even though the game was design to work on older PC thus a huge user base. I didn't get upset since the only reason I read a review is to get information not to see if the reviewer agrees with me.
So a lower score because the graphics was average to one person (reviewer) was a minus yet to other gamers who doesn't have the latest PC this would have been a huge plus. (I've got a pretty descent desktop but an average laptop so a plus for me for a game to play on my laptop) Thus all scores are relative.
There was another game which took a hit in the score because it had no multiplayer but to someone who want a game to focus on single player like me this was a huge plus.
