Our Review Scale

• 10/10: “It’s Medium-Defining”
  • No film or video game is perfect. However, every now and again a title comes along that does something so incredibly special that it changes our notion of what we previously thought possible with the medium of the art form. This elusive score is reserved for such masterworks.
• 9/10: “It’s Essential”
  • A generational piece of work that deserves to be on everyone’s shelf.
• 8/10: “It’s Superb”
  • Minor issues aside, this title is a fantastic experience through and through and stands out from others within its genre.
• 7/10: “It’s Solid”
  • Though this title may have a couple of flaws and doesn’t do anything particularly outstanding to separate itself from the pack, it’s still a very well-packaged product that gets our seal of recommendation.
• 6/10: “It’s Aight”
  • A title that has some highlights but is bogged down by some poor execution and a few nagging criticisms.
• 5/10: “It’s Lackluster”
  • An uninspired piece of work that fails to execute on some potentially good ideas.
• 4/10: “It’s Bad”
  • Significant blemishes mar this piece of work, whose premise didn’t have much going for it to begin with.
• 3/10: “It’s Really Bad”
  • Riddled with glaring issues, this title fails to do much right and makes for a tough viewing/playing experience that’s a chore to finish.
• 2/10: “It’s Terrible’
  • An ostensibly unwatchable/unplayable title due to a seemingly unending cavalcade of flaws.
• 1/10: “It’s Unforgivable”
  • A completely broken and inexcusably horrendous title that’s a slap in the face to artists everywhere.
