I think for me this weirdness is most obvious with books, the best novels that change you, stick in your memory and make you see the world differently are never 10/10s because that would mean they simply fulfilled the expectations you had before picking the book up,
Comment on It's 2025 now, what are the games you'll be starting the year with?

I feel that way about music. My favourite artists all have songs I don’t care for, meanwhile artists where I like every song of theirs are never my absolute favourites

To clarify, I meant that I’m fine with multiple things not being 10/10 (I was thinking of Metaphor as a 9/10 across the board) as long as some one thing is, like just the ending or just gameplay. I’m not consisent with that though anyways, I thought that Dark Souls 1 really does have 10/10 world exploration early on, yet I don’t like it because of a lot of other problems. It’s all really just gut feelings in the end, it was the best way I could explain why Metaphor feels like it’s missing something.
