It's really ridiculous how people will consider a score between 80 and 85 as low. As if all games had to be 95 to be considered good.

8 out of 10 is still a really good score. 

But I suspect Ruler scored the game 10 out of 10 before he even played a second of it. 

Blame the gaming industry reviewers.

A movie gets a 90% and you know its a good movie. I've been very dissapointed by many video games that have gotten 90+

And what does a shitty game get? somehwere in the 70's. In the movie reviews a 70 is still a damn good movie. 

Rarely do you see a game with reviews below a 7/10. THus the scale is just broken and useless. 

It's a little bit more difficult to rate a good game compared to a good movie. A good movie is all passive. While games have gameplay and interaction thrown in. As such, there are an incredible range of parameters, making everything much more difficult to judge objectively. Some games have very deep game systems, other are more streamlined or simplistic. The rest of it may be unmatched, from a presentation perspective, but gameplay is pretty difficult to score consitently. Each games aren't set out to offer the same things. Games like Heavy Rain offer an interactive movie kind of thing with choices influencing outcomes and whatnot. While game like the 3D Super Mario go for pristine control inputs and freedom...
