How We Review

Our reviews are hands-on and independent. Here’s how we score.

The process

We play the game ourselves – not from a press kit – across a representative amount of content before scoring. We disclose when a review is based on a demo or early-access build.

Our score scale (out of 10)

  • 9-10 – Exceptional, a must-play
  • 7-8 – Great, worth your time
  • 5-6 – Mixed, for genre fans
  • Below 5 – Hard to recommend

Pros & cons

Every review lists concrete strengths and weaknesses so you can judge for yourself, regardless of the number.

Independence

Review copies never obligate a positive verdict. See our editorial policy.
