There's no such thing as objectively average. If you played and liked that game, then more power to you. If I saw that game on somebody else's shelf, I'd give them a thumbs up. Why? Because it's a respectable game, or so I would assume based on what reviewers have written about it. Yes, choosing whether or not to buy a game based on a single point or two can seem silly. But I have to draw a line somewhere, or else my massive backlog grows at a pace that is impossible for me to ever make a dent in it. Truth be told, I wish I had the time and money for all these games. But I'm an adult, with responsibilities, and a social life. I just don't have that kind of time anymore, and have to be picky about what I choose to buy. Sometimes to a fault. |
Review scores are there to guide you, not to make decisions for you. It doesn't take a lot of effort to say a game that's just under what you'd usually play, but is getting a lot of positive feedback from users might be worth playing.
