Methodology

Our Algorithm.

Transparency is our weapon. Here is exactly how we calculate the truth behind the hype.

The Dual-Core Rating System

We believe that a game is more than just a number, but simple numbers are better for global rankings. That's why we split our rating system into two distinct layers.

Layer 1: The Global Score

Public Impact: 100%

1 - 10 Overall Experience
  • Affects Global Ranking
  • Visible to Everyone
  • The "Gut Feeling" Score

Layer 2: Personal Analytics

Public Impact: 0%

This is the personal aspect. These values (Graphics, Sounds, etc...) are for your personal profile and do not affect the overall rating.

Integrity Protocols

What is review bombing? Review bombing is a coordinated act of posting numerous negative reviews on the site to lower the overall rating of the game. To prevent this, we use algorithms which detect, if a game gets without reason a 1/10 score for a hundred times within one hour and filters it.
