Patched #83 - Days Gone, Rage 2 and The Problems with the Game Review Scale

The game that scores a 7 out of 10 has been in the firing line this year. Games like Days Gone, Rage 2, Far Cry New Dawn and many more are being critiqued harshly for being received a little less than their peers and it's opened a can of worms on the internet. In Patched this week the team look at the video game review scale and look at what is and is not working with it. Are we judging games too harshly? Not harshly enough?
