7 = good
5 = mediocre (probably a movie game)
9 = amazing

I once saw a comment that said "8 out of 10 is average."
There's a reason 5 is in the middle of 10, kid. 8 out of 16 is average.

might as well use an x/5 scoring system
most websites don't dip below 5 except Metacritic and a few other sites and even then it seems pretty rare

7 is good.

Heck, a 5 isn't bad by any means either. It's just average.

Remember Me was rated a 5/6 and was good, save for it's beat-em up combat.

Fair point. But I still think 5-6 is an average.

what was the score of time/darkness?

it probably got slammed by IGN because its pretty much a refresh even though the game itself is great.

explorers of darkness/time received a 6.5...
according to ign, explorers of sky added new features, and they were bad.

I don't know what they're talking about. Renamed items appealed to the rogue-like-like aspect of the game, the new starters added even more variety, the special episodes let you learn about the story even more, and the new dungeons made for longer gameplay. Explorers of sky was a near-perfect version of the game.

it's generally a good idea to either ignore the scores or find a better critic who doesn't use them
