Reviews reflect the reviewer’s perspective. It’s natural to disagree as different opinions are welcome and don’t invalidate the review.

Our Scoring System
- Contextual: Scores are based on the game as a whole, not only its genre. They reflect overall quality, polish, and enjoyment, considering mechanics, presentation, narrative, and technical performance.
- Subjective: These scores are based on individual assessment, not formulas or averages.
Score Descriptions
10 – Masterpiece
Exceptionally ambitious and polished. Near perfection, even if true flawlessness doesn’t exist.
9.5 – Near Masterpiece
Just shy of the highest standard. Minor quirks are almost imperceptible.
9 – Excellent
A standout with top-tier design and polish. Rare flaws don’t detract from the experience.
8.5 – Very Strong
Impressive in nearly every aspect. A few weak spots prevent it from reaching “Excellent.”
8 – Great
Well-crafted and enjoyable, with solid mechanics and style. Small drawbacks keep it from feeling exceptional.
7.5 – Above Average
Better than most. High points outshine the lows, though neither dominates completely.
7 – Good
Engaging and fun, but pacing or mechanical issues hold it back from greatness.
6.5 – Decent
Memorable moments exist, but inconsistent execution limits overall enjoyment.
6 – Fair
Playable and occasionally entertaining, but recurring issues prevent it from standing out.
5.5 – Below Average
Some positives, but they can’t overcome a generally uneven experience.
5 – Mediocre
Works on a basic level but leaves little lasting impression.
4.5 – Poor but Playable
Sparks of effort appear, yet the experience disappoints more than it delivers.
4 – Weak
More problems than pleasures, making it hard to justify the time spent.
3.5 – Rough
Potential is visible, but buggy or outdated execution drags it down.
3 – Flawed
Fundamental design or performance issues make enjoyment difficult.
2.5 – Glitchy
Technically functional, but little else succeeds.
2 – Broken
Critical bugs or poor design outweigh any fun.
1.5 – Unstable
Chaotic mix of bugs, imbalance, and flawed design. Nearly unplayable.

Core gameplay is missing or broken. Avoid except as a study in failure.
