I agree there should be a variety of scores.
I'm mainly referring too Polygons review which in written content doesn't add up. Mcshea's to a lesser extent but it's still far from perfect. The reasoning should always take precedence.

Polygon's video review does justify the 7.5 score. His main problem was that he was having trouble in combat, saying it was too difficult. The score is somewhat legitimate , since if you aren't enjoying the game, you won't give it a high score.McShea's review was just out of nowhere. The video praises the story, gameplay, and pretty much calls it a consistent game. But due to the support AI breaking the immersion once in a while, the game gets a 8.0. I have no problem with the game getting an 8.0, but you have to at least have a better reason for giving that score.
did you miss all the parts where he complains about the dark tone of the game, how he didn't want to participate in combat so as not to cause Ellie anymore grief? That review is full of bullshit, including his reasoning of joel being a bad person just for violences sake when other reviews have mentioned there is definitely much more to it than that.
I mean the world they live in is a violent and horrible place, and joe did some very bad things before he met Ellie, his reasoning of dissonance just seemed like complete and utter dogshit with no explanation given.
Had to rewatch the review, and the score doesn't seem so justified now. His main complaint ( in the video) is how the game turns into a 3rd person shooter (though he didn't use a melee weapon once in the video.), and how Joel actions throughout the game made him uncomfortable (which is a valid complaint).I know I haven't played the game, but the review is super iffy now that I've really focused on the negatives. . But the man's entitled to his opinion, so if he was troubled, let him be troubled.McShea's review is still terrible, and makes Polygon's review valid.
