The reasoning of the review does not make sense. For instance, misogyny is not grounds to lower scores out of a game. As well as being politically muddled. Another example would have been if the game promotes aggressive behavior (Trevor). A game should not be based on these points, that it has never promised for.
I actually like the 9/10 score, it is pretty amazing, but the problem is the reasoning for the missing 1 point, that does not make any logical sense, and it is very much out of context.
@Lord_Hecugoth @Talann1 @komuchen @mucking_foron You said it best, if all the games had the same flaw than how the hell did gta IV got a 10/10 from the same review site. You might add that the previous review was not done by the same reviewer. Which brings us to another problem here, that the reviewer variability is huge when it comes to Gamespot.
Any publishing website should have a aligned tone and criteria when approaching to games. For instance, misogyny is not the grounds to lower grades out of a game. As well as being politically muddled. Another example would have been if the game promotes aggressive behavior (Trevor). A game should not be based on these points, that it has never promised for.

@ZatannaXOXOXO your argument conflicts with the whole purpose of a gaming review website. since these people are the clients of this website, they have all the right to critique the product the website publishes. What is so hard to understand?
