The problem for me is gameplay and lasting appeal is more significant than graphics and sound. That system for scoring is... archaic.

It doesn't fit when you review great games with simple graphics and sound like the modern classic Rogue Legacy.

That's because you dont rereview games in the future and hold it up to the standards of today -_-, rather you do it with respect to their time of release. (and yknow once again the final verdict =/= overall score)

 

But Rogue Legacy is a game of today and will likely be better remembered than a game like The Order. Reviews that give great scores because of pretty graphics and cool sounds are mostly useless which is why most critics don't do that anymore. If you feel the gameplay is only a 6 than maybe the game doesn't deserve an overall great score.

When it comes to the standards of the future, a game like Super Mario World is timeless because the gameplay is still great. While games like Ryse and The Order had mediocre gameplay at launch. At best, they will be remembered for being a worth a playthrough for their stories.
