That´s because indie game scores doesn´t have to be compared with full priced retail games, ever, some people do it just because it fits their agenda. This game costs 1/4 of a normal one, and it looks like a great party game with tons of content, indies have their own league.

One problem I have with this is some indie games are genuinly great to my mind and worthy of great scores equal to quality full priced games. If you're going to inflate scores because of the price how will you distinguish the truely great indie games from the ok ones.
I'm not saying price and value shouldn't be considered at all in a review but the balance reviewers are striking seems wrong.

If the game is good is rated as a good game, but when a game costs 15$ it doesn´t need to have high production values or 200 hours of gameplay, as good as Shovel Knight is, it wouldn´t have the same score if it was a 60$ game, because the production values don´t fit the price at all, does it makes Shovel Knight any worse? Of course it doesn´t. And if the game is bad it doesn´t matter if it costs 2$, it has bad reviews, Devil´s third would have bad reviews even at 10$, because it has content but not quality.
