Are they harsher than EDGE? Good on them. Edge is soft nowadays.

In giving perfect scores? Yes they are. Only 2 of them since 1997. French are among the harshest out there... Sometimes even though I speak the same language, people from France annoy the fuck out of me They're so critical over everything

It always depends on the reviewer. JV.com isn't that harsh IMO. Even Gamekult, known for really harsh scores, sometimes gives great scores because the reviewer is a fan of the series (one of them, for example, is a huge fan of Souls games, another is a fan of indie games...). The users usually bet on the score of big games as soon as they know who is handling the reviews. And then, in their talk shows, other reviewers sometimes disagree with the official reviewer... 

 

So harsh, yes, but sometimes still able to behave and write like fanboys or kids at Christmas.
