What drives the score

Grades: S best, D weakest

S is the best grade and D the weakest, judged as a buyer. β–² raises the score, β–Ό lowers it, ? is an input we do not have, β€’ is a fact this genre's score does not use. How the grades work

What we assumed
  • How long it takes to beat isn't in our data. We scored it as a typical Action game (about 6 hours) and docked the score for the missing length.
