For any outsider, seeing Grim and Runaway get 4.5 stars implies they are of the same quality, which does not reflect fairly on the 2 games mentioned.
What if the person reviewing Runaway didn't play GF? Or if he/she didn't even like it? I think if a reviewer thinks a game deserves 4.5 stars they should give it 4.5 stars. After all, a review is just one person's opinion.
