A 7 or a 7.5 is an average review score. I don't know why reviewers don't follow the same metric and sometimes argue that a 5/10 is an average score.
Different mediums have different "breaking points" for what divides an above average thing from a below average thing. For movies, it's 60% (see Rotten Tomatoes and Metacritic). In academia, it's a B- (no one grades around a C). In videogames it's either a 70 or a 75. People just need to be consistent and stop trying to actively deflate scores for no reason.
