Wow you're so special, I'm mesmerized.It means the publisher put out a lot of money generating pre-release hype for the game.
All my 10/10 games are games that are singular experiences that give you something new and unexpected -- in short, the exact opposite of what any game that actually would be "rewarded" with a 10/10 by your typical publication.
What game has received 10/10 that you think didn't deserve that merit based on your criteria? In the last few years, I can't think of anything like that.Im cool with 10/10 but the game has to better than great. It's got to do something I've never seen and you better be able to explain it if it's not obvious.
Excellent game. One that absolutely nails everything it set out to accomplish (not what we wish it had done instead).
In that regard, I'd call Red Dead Redemption 2 and God of War both 10/10 experiences.

You don't think something like the Witcher 3's reviews or God of War's reviews explained why those games were 10/10s?
The best part is "10/10 should be unattainable", okay, then we have a 9 point scale, at which point 9/10 is the top score you can achieve, and then 9 should be unattainable, and so on.
It's stupid as fuck.
My favorite game of all time doesn't even have a 10/10 from me. It means perfect (to me), which nothing is.
Right. I agree fully. In general, top marks just mean "this is something that ranks as among the best I have seen/played/read/whatever". That's it. It's not an endorsement of flawlessness or perfection, nor is it a universal standard, because the people who want to whine about "fake news media" giving games a 10 forget that critique is subjective by definition.Yup. According to letterboxd, 13% of the movies I have seen I have given 5 stars. I consider these movies all to be some of the best in their genres and I was engaged throughout the whole experience and left thinking about it afterwards.
Why is that not enough for the highest score? And also it is my opinion or any other reviewer's opinion. People get so stuck up about this on the internet. Even here.

I mean I don't expect perfection but when a game gets 10/10 every 2 seconds but then to me I see multiple glaring flaws when I play then it's pointless. I'm not saying the scores are wrong as such, it's just meaningless when I see it.
Alright, fair enough. I wasn't picking on you or anything, to be clear, I just found your explanation interesting and wanted more insight on that.I don't know i haven't read them. If they give it a ten I'm sure they attempt to explain why. I'm only talking about what i consider a good "why".
It shouldn't need to be said but perfection is not objectively possible because perfection is a human definition and just made up in all our brains. 10/10 is a subjective scale because what the fuck else are we gonna use, genius.
Fortunately enough, 10/10 is also not perfect.
A game that really resonates with me.
It could be full of flaws or poor elements, but if it nails a single powerful, emotional or meaningful element it could be a 10 to me.
Swery, Suda and Ueda pruduce many more 10s for me than the most polished and refined games from other studios.
It means impossible. No game is or will ever be perfect.
I am however fine if a game gets that score although lately I've disliked quite a few 10/10 games myself.
Why are you treating it like a test score, where 10/10 literally objectively means perfect, all answers correct and zero answers wrong?It means impossible. No game is or will ever be perfect.
