Actually i was surprised the score was that high. I read Jims rewiews once in a while and he is one of the critics that use the full 1-10 scale, so a 5 is quite literally mediocre. After reading it I expected him to give it more of 3-4 as he really seemed to dislike it.

Nothing to throw a tantrum over imo, but it being the first rewiew on metacritic puts this in a new light....

5/10 is quite literally average*

Yes it is, but for decades we have been indoctrinated into thinking that 7/10 is average 8/10 good ,and if anything even games receiving those scores are being more and more seen as receiving subpar scores in some quarters.
