Those good reviewed titles are also pretty inaccessible or only cater to a smaller niche of the market. Reviewers will often overlook complicated, overly difficult controls or place too much emphasis on graphics, things which don't seem to corelate strongly with strong sales. Or they will pay too much attention to innovation which again doesn't corelate well with sales. The more a game does the basics right, the better reviews and sales corelate from what I have seen. |
How is Beyond Good and Evil inaccessible or only cater to a smaller niche? It's an action/adventure game which is one of the most, if not the most, popular genres in gaming.
