Fact is, reviews ARE opinions and thus subjective. What a game scores is very much depenpreferenceo's reviewing it. That's why you sometime see a game getting 9's and 10's and all of a sudden a 6...

But surely you can see how ridiculous that is? A game cannot be both a six and a ten, but outside of the review perhaps an opinion piece should be written detailing what the reviewers personal opinion of the game is. The two have merged over the years and that shouldn't be the case. 

I actually think Asriel did a pretty good job explaining just this point, so I wont be as thorough.

I guess it all comes down to preferences; what does the reviewer exepct of this game and what does it deliver? Maybe a gsme shouldnt be able to get a 6 AND a 10, but it all kinda depends on whos doing the review. Someone that only plays fifa wouldnt like Zelda...
