I thought the same with its Apotheon review.
IGN 6.9 http://www.ign.com/articles/2015/02/05/apotheon-review
Gameinformer 9 http://www.gameinformer.com/games/apotheon/b/pc/archive/2015/02/03/apotheon-review-game-informer.aspx
Not sure it deserves a 9, but i think it is better then 6.9. But really the gameinformer review sounded like they played the entire game and gave good reasons.
