Gone are the days when"critic reviews" mean anything.

Considering the flurry of early reviews (45 only, all glowing, access journalism much? It's veilguard 2.0) are responsible for the brunt of that 86 score and 24h later most reviews were already between 7 and 8, I'd be very cautious with this. If you already susbscribe to gamepass, give it a go, but I would not spend serious money on a game where most reviews write that the game is broken and there are serious problems with pacing, perspective shifts, bugs and then 10/10. Wait for a discount or a couple reviews from tubers you follow and have similar taste or, conversely, get it on gamepass.

Interesting. I didn't have high hopes because the premise sounded incredibly dumb, but maybe they pulled together a decent story around it.
I'll definitely wait for a few more reviews (I almost never buy day 1), but I'll check it out.
- I always had faith. I feel like everyone forgot this is the same machine games behind the modern Wolfenstein games which had really fun and ambitious storylines
- Not to mention that if you want to play it now, you need to cough up 99 bucks.
  But yes, I trust Steam reviews more
  
  Yup, Steam reviews and some YT gameplay footage.

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?
  
  Reviewers almost never give 1/10, the lowest I've seen recently is 5/10. And anything below 8 should be seen as the reviewer not liking it.
- 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.
