Global score61 / 100from 8 sources

How is this score calculated?

The global score counts every source that has published a review of this game.

When a source gave its own numeric score, that score wins over its verdict when this score is calculated: it is normalised to a 0-100 scale first, so a 7/10 counts as 70. Without one, the number for its verdict from the table below is used instead.

What each verdict is worth

  • Must play: 100
  • Recommended: 85
  • Recommended with reservations: 70
  • Only for fans: 45
  • Not recommended: 20

This table is app configuration, and it can be adjusted.

A source that has reviewed this game more than once still counts once: its reviews are averaged together before entering the global score.

Not having a score is not the same as scoring zero: it means there is no review counting towards it yet.

Only the sources we have a review from are listed. A source missing here is one we have no review from for this game — not proof that it said nothing about it, and not a verdict against it.
