    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.
