To me it’s biased journalist or looking for clickbait headline, anyone can see Gears 5 is a quality game, so maybe it’s not for reviewer than give to someone who loves 3P action game so it gets it’s just & fair in the review. 7.5/8 is commendable but a 6 is laughable.

I know a lot of reviewers who use the .5 to compensate for the fact that they aren’t really allowed to use all 10 points on the scale without definite misunderstanding. 6 = 1, 6.5 = 2, 7 = 3, and so on.
That is really interesting... like logically 5.5 should be like an average game. But also there are so many good games that you may never want to bother with such a game, and it might as well be a 0?

Yeah it boils down to the fact that when game reviews really started establishing themselves as powerful parts of the industry, games were marketed almost exclusively to kids, and to kids in school, a 60 = a D-. Only Gamepro escaped this with their signature "feeling" scalepic.twitter.com/8OY2Hz92yu
