    Generally speaking there is an inverse relationship between average review scores and the quality of the game. Considering the game is probably going to be another open-world collectathon, I’m going to wait.

      I uh… what? I mean, sure, some reviews are bought etc but I don’t think I’ve ever seen a superb game average 1/10 in reviews. Did I misunderstand you?

        Reviewers almost never give 1/10, the lowest I’ve seen recently is 5/10. And anything below 8 should be seen as the reviewer not liking it.

          Of course, but if a game’s quality was typically inversely proportional to the review scores, wouldn’t that mean 10/10 reviewed stuff like Elden Ring and BG3 was garbage and the truly great games averaged 1-3/10? I’m just confused by the statement.

    Interesting. I didn’t have high hopes because the premise sounded incredibly dumb, but maybe they pulled together a decent story around it.

    I’ll definitely wait for a few more reviews (I almost never buy day 1), but I’ll check it out.

      Not to mention that if you want to play it now, you need to cough up 99 bucks.

      But yes, I trust Steam reviews more

      I always had faith. I feel like everyone forgot this is the same machine games behind the modern Wolfenstein games which had really fun and ambitious storylines
