Yes, not everything can or should be a 9+/10. There is no reason to expect an exceptional game as default, especially when the company has a horrible track record in all aspects required for a 9/10 space game. 7/10 is rather generous. Perhaps true for fans. For people not interested like myself to start with, 5/10 to 6/10 is still not "unplayable". Just not something I'd step outside my genre box for.
