Not if you also take off the ridiculous above average scores 

Lol, those aren't ridiculous.  If those reviewers thought it was that good of a game, then they are more than welcome to give it that.  However, one cannot objectively give it a below average, especially a 20, while talking about how well the game performs technically and visually, without losing credibility.  If you think it's just an average game with great visuals, then fine, rate it that way.  But to rate it so low, either to try and make a point or just for the clicks, is the reason why people are slowly turning away from gaming sites.

Ohhh I get

People can objectively have a very high opinion of incredibly mediocre games, but they can't objectively have a very low opinion of them. That does make more sense now that I think about it

His reasoning makes no sense, but I sort of see the point he's getting at. The highest score, is 9 points higher than the second highest score. The lowest score is 20 points lower than the second lowest score.

Also, 40% of the remaining review scores sit within 20 points of that highest score. The point being that the low score is a far greater outlier than the high score.
