Based on what one of my friends had been saying about the game and Jim mentioning the '5/10' score yesterday during his Drawn to Death impressions, not surprising. I'd personally give a game that has really good bits locked behind lots of dreadful BS a lower score, but 'I half enjoyed the game, half disliked it, so I'm giving it a half score' fits Jim's chaotic interpretation of numeric scoring

Choatic interpretation?  That's the actual interpretation.  He liked some stuff, but disliked others.  In the end, they evened themselves out and made the game an average game.  Not horrible, not good/great.

 

I appreciate Sterling's views and tastes in games, with his written reviews as brutally honest as one can get, but it appears to me he views numerical scores as arbitrary and silly, so he treats them as such in his reviews.
