Indiana Jones and the Great Circle is rated 'Mighty' after being reviewed by 69 critics, with an overall average score of 86. It's ranked in the top 4% of games and recommended by 91% of critics.
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?
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.
Look past enemy and look at the sentiment: scores from big name reviewers aren't a good metric for whether you'll like a game. Statements don't all need to be taken literally.
There's a big difference between "not correlated" and "inversely related" though. The latter is very deliberately saying that good scores are a bad thing.
A quick way to find out what the game is and is not would be to read a review. But if there's an inverse relationship between the average score and the quality of the game, you might be interested in Crime Boss: Rockay City.
