I bet it's rated lower because of the story.

7.8/10

Too many sidequests.

"Just for comparison Uncharted 4 was 20x bigger than Splatoon 2. This shows the huge difference between Sony's first-party games and Nintendo's first-party games."

Is that serious from the review or a guess?

A far better example would be the comparison of their Demon's Souls and FFXIII scores: 29 and 40 respectively. Famitsu is not what I would cal consistent.

I think it's silly to complain about long cutscenes if you give MGS IV of all games a perfect score.

Famitsu is one big joke lol.

Some old scores for comparison:

Demon's Souls 29/40
Final Fantasy XIII-2 40/40

I see you're pulling from bad article comments. Let's ignore all the factors that lead with each game getting the score it does in addition to how Famitsu assigns games to its four reviewers.
