^ to me that kind of false sense of giving a granular view is why the 5 point system is superior

you only think of a 3/5 as unplayable because you are reinterpreting that as a 6/10 and then thinking of all the games that are better

when you flatten the scores, though, a lot of 7/10 will be a 3 rather than a 4, so a lot more 3s are playable than 6s

I mean obviously you need to read the actual reviews but I think the 1-5 system is more open to short, concise explanations like

5/5 - a game that everyone could play and enjoy, even if they aren't necessarily fans of the genre
4/5 - very well-made, a genre staple that even fans of the genre might not enjoy
3/5 - average game or a good game with a serious flaw or two
2/5 - below average, might be enjoyable if you are a big fan of the genre
1/5 - unplayable

with 1-10 it's much harder to think of short explanations that show how a 6/10 and a 7/10 are meaninguflly different. to me at least
