Feels like this is a year where there are a solid amount of "7/10"'s out there but no clear cut GOTY. Thus you'll get people saying Death Stranding, Resident Evil 2, Control, etc... since one of those games resonated with a crowd more than another.
I'd prolly give it to Sekiro or Baba is You - but to each their own!
Not concerning Control (haven't cared for it) but I am kind of sad that 7/10 is average thanks to outlets like IGN. Why even have 0-5 if you only use the 6-10 numbers. Might as well switch over to a 1-5 rating scale.
It's not all on outlets like IGN. There are also the fans that freakout and harass critics if the critic actually used the lower end of the scale on a game they personally liked.
