This is a list of what our ratings mean from 1/10 to the Knockout Award.
1/10
The worst score we give. It is given to games that are so unbelievably bad that one would not touch them with a 100-foot pole.
2/10
Steaming pile of garbage. Do not buy games with this score even if you are forced to.
3/10
Given to games that are developed by people with the programming skill of amateur circus elephants. Do not buy these games unless you don’t care about your money.
4/10
Games that don’t work half the time get this score. A relative of the developer would question buying these games.
5/10
Buy games with this score only if you are a megafan of the genre or developer. Otherwise, question buying it.
6/10
These games give dumb fun. Dumb, repetitive fun. Buy only if you are bored with the other games you have.
7/10
Has great gameplay or great story. Not both. We recommend these games cautiously.
8/10
Games with this score deserve a high-five, a digital high-five that is. We implore you to buy these.
9/10
Near perfection. Buy these now!
Knockout Award
