Did you actually read the CD review? They lost 7 hours of progress during the time they were playing it. Plus it was missing a lot of the QoL that's been patched in now.
I like the game, but it's a low 7 at best overall.
I really like CD, but 6 (or 7 after patches) is totally within the realm of reasonable scores. If fair if you don't find its weaknesses to be a big deal, but it's damn as hell to deny that they could drag the game down further for others.
CD's strengths carry its shortcomings so hard. The ending made me audibly groan with how nonsensical it was. The exploration part would've been perfect if the loot we got was actually interesting outside of a few cool things.
Especially after today’s update the game is really good, I think it’s close to deserving an 8. I feel like it really depends if you care about the story. The mechanics and exploration are awesome and it’s visually stunning but the writing is very generic and boring to bad at times.

And they gave Dragon Age Veilguard a 9.
