So the great Jim Sterling reviewed Hellblade and gave it a 1/10 for a glitch he found that seemed to have only happened to him.

He seemed to have enjoyed playing Hellblade and he takes back his 1/10 for exchange a 7/10, the same score he gave Zelda BOTW. Ill never understand this guy.

Anyway its good to see he went back on his review score. No game deserves a 1/10 unless it is a broken mess or with no good qaulities going for it. For example a 1/10 game is Black Tiger as he mentions in his video. 

  

The Visuals of Hellblade on PC have to be one of the best graphics i have ever seen in a video game that doesnt revolve around Space Ships *cough Star Citizen*

 

You said it. That is why he gave it the score. If he came across a gamebreaking bug he couldnt get through, the game deserves a 1/10 and he is to be praised for coming out and informing his readers about the trap.

And don't bring up the Zelda BS please. He has every right to give it the score he deems right. You don't get to force your opinions on others.

He needs to stop giving scores. He can write entertaining reviews but he's terrible at giving numerical values.

2/10 for Yooka-Laylee?
1/10 for Homefront: The Revolution?
2/10 for Starfox Zero?

These are scores that should be given to truly broken games that are unplayable and have absolutely no potential for fun.

No he won't. He has to draw attention to himself by behaving like a child.

Yes, he is terrible cause he uses the full breadth of the scale instead of giving everything 7+ and making all games ranked as crap unless they score 9+.

Jim is an old school reviewer and he is better than 98% of the other reviewers out there that are too afraid to be honest due to beeing blacklisted by publishers.

I apreciate Jim's honesty and i respect his opinion alot.I don't always agree but when he gives a bad score i know he had good reasons for it and the game is indeed lacking wether i manage to enjoy it regardless or not.
