The modern review scale, including aggregated scores, makes it near impossible to tell if a game is good or not. Bad games can score in the high 80s, so the spectrum of 70-90 covers games that fall into the categories bad, mediocre, decent, good and great.

I look at aggregate scores and pick out a review or two to read when it comes to IPs I have no previous experience with, but it remains a guessing game if any given title offers something of real value or not.

I can't find a single non-sports game above 84 on Opencritic that I would consider to be bad. What didn't you like that got high eighties?

P.S. The first game of the Arland trilogy sits on my shelf waiting to be played. I'll get to it as soon as I've had my fill of Into the Breach.
