Gamespot gave it a six - their review opening is below. Feels very much like they're just irritated there is not much innovation, and so they've docked a couple of points:

It's taken a lot for the character to get to this point, and if you've been along for the ride since her excellent revival in 2013's Tomb Raider, you may be pleased to hear that Shadow of the Tomb Raider is the same style of experience we first saw in 2013, only bigger and with more added to it. In fact, there's seemingly very little, if anything, that's changed dramatically or been discarded from the formula. But while that means Shadow retains a lot of the components that give Tomb Raider that fantastic, timeless sense of wonder and discovery, it also means that Tomb Raider's interpretation of blockbuster action-adventure mechanics is starting to feel half a decade old.

Maybe you're right, but its also a different critic that handled this review. Gamespot is not a single person. A different person on the staff might have given it a better score.
