Sophie, you nailed it.
For what little it may be worth, Sophie's review captures pretty much exactly what I think about Burning Empires, and why I am wholly uninterested in playing it.
Who cares what number she assigns to it? Isn't that her decision as a reviewer? It's not like anyone who read the text of the review is going to be in any doubt as to what kind of game it is, or why she doesn't like it.
Heck, she even says in the review that people who really like high crunch and engagement and for whom the restrictiveness of the systems isn't an issue would probably give it a 4 or a 5.
For me, her numbers are right. If you find they're off then maybe you have to concede that there are other opinions out there in the gamersphere.
Cheers,
SR.
