The Doom review originally was from the beta as far as I know. In which it is 100% right. The multiplayer is very copy pasta of recent fps game crazes- Jump packs, only two weapons, ads (on many weapons) and classes. The customization is wonderful but many of the multiplayer mechanics are straight out of the modern shooter. Which is disappointing. The single player on the other hand is a totally different story- It's Doom's speed, character, weapon pickups, and evolved further into a modern way but SO much better than the multiplayer had. It's what happens when you outsource multiplayer, something Bethesda had said they were against when talking about development of Wolfenstein: The New Order. Little bonus: I feel the score given is reasonable. I don't know why 7 has turned into a bad rating. 7 is recommendedly above average. Though personally I'd give it a 6.5 However of course due to IGN being paid off (presumably) anything below 8 is bad leaving 8, 9, and 10 as the three "okay", "good", "pretty awesome" ratings. Obviously Ghosts doesn't deserve it's rating- but Doom does. (Though I give it extra points for being so damn well made- in the literal sense. Just technology-wise. Maybe 7 is more reasonable.)
Nah I agree with you in regards to scoring nowdays. Heck the whole scoring system is in a horrible state right now. for example when working on a 1-10 scale in my opinion 5 should be average, not horrible, as it is seen to be nowdays. If I had my way we'd be seeing a lot more games with scores around the 5 range rather than 7-10. In general not just in regards to doom IGN really is a shitshow from my point of view and I do not even know how they are still a thing, as I mentioned previously. EDIT: In that post my main thing is how they were calling COD next gen and ambitious.
todays scoringsviews on a out of 10 scorescale 1 to 6 bad (though people want to be able to score with 0 aswell to express ABSOLUTE! displeasement) 7 average 8+ good may as well just put on 2 stars to chose from 2 stars good 1 star average 0 bad
Not sure if this should go here or in dorkly is meh thread, but hey. Here's stellaris in a nutshell. Edit: Sorry for going off topic in regards to review scores.

Eh all their dumb restrictions on the market and trading have gotten very annoying lately. Can't even trade an item for a week after buying it off the market. Really puts a monkey wrench in my cogs.
