With Days Gone dropping last week, and receiving a Metacritic average of 72, the internet has erupted and declared the game as garbage.

But a 7/10 is good, yeah?

If its a 10 point scale an average game should be a 5, anything below that would certainly be considered bad but anything higher has to be at least better than average.

Ryan and Josh break down their thoughts on review scores and why a 7/10 became so bad.
