Not every game deserves 8.5 and above, but Gamespot definitely seems to like clickbait.
As much as they downplay certain Nintendo games (giving Zelda games below an 8 will automatically cause a huge stream of people to read their review in anger as opposed to them giving it a 9) just as giving ALWB game of the year causes numerous clicks (I loved the game but even I would not give it GOTY).
That being said Tropical Freeze getting a 6 is just downright cruel.
