I've played most of those games, and those scores don't sound unreasonable at all. None are remarkable or exceptional. If anything, more genres should be judged this harshly. Especially third person sandbox/open world games.

do you have any idea how much harder technically it is to make an open world sandbox shooter game than a linear small map FPS game? comparing something like Call of Duty and Fallout is absolutely absurd because Call of Duty takes like 1/10 the programming and work to develop

Until you realize that cod needs a lot of network maintenance along with a movie like campaign to keep up with last year.

I'm not saying one is better than the other, I'm just saying that they seem about equal in terms of difficulty to make
