Anytime someone reviews any game they review it from their own perspective. That perspective is going to include their experiences with other games.

You litterally couldn't review a game in a vacum if you've ever played another game.

Someone reviewing Uncharted 4 could have only ever played Tetris before, and they would be subconsciously comparing it to Tetris.

It's not possible.

Thats why I asked him what this game does right when it comes to gameplay that many other games dont. If I asked someone to give me an example of a game with excellent gameplay and they answered Uncharted 4, then I would ask them whats so great about it as well.

I don't understand your reasoning though. I assume the point your getting at is Uncharted 4 should be scored lower because you don't find Uncharted 4 to be particularly special or innovative in the gameplay department. But that isn't really the focus of the game. 

Lets take two games. 

One, is a game that has an amazing story, but only average gameplay.

The other, is a game with amazing gameplay, but only an average story.

Some could say that either of those games is a 10, or is their favorite game of all time and they would both be totally valid. Because even though one aspect of the game isn't worldbeating, it's still good enough as to not get in the way of the real draw of the game.

Nobody knocks points off of OOT from having an average story, why would they knock points off of UN4 for just having average gameplay?
