From video gaming to card games and stuff in between, if it's gaming you can probably discuss it here!

The only conclusion to make is that the video game industry has matured to a point where only masterpieces are released. Bad games just don't exist anymore.
Right??
I think you can explain much of the lack of lower scores by the fact that the games that would get lower scores are also likely to be ignored by just about any established reviewer.
There are thousands of games released every year that a site like IGN will never review. Would you find it valuable for IGN to scour Steam or the Switch eShop for terrible games just to use more of the score scale?
