Gates the score. Weak reviews cap it, and nothing reaches BANGER without strong ones. Scored as 86% after the small-sample adjustment
For context

打左大半個日本,諗住放係到轉電腦操控幫我打埋佢,點知轉唔返人手操控,個電腦又ON99咁,完全唔撚識出兵攻城,人地打親我座城都可以守唔住,大佬我二百幾萬兵,其他大名加埋都唔夠我一半,你係咪玩尻我? 玩左成幾十粒鐘,先破到松浦局,由一塊地一個武將打到大半江山,一粒制都搞到我幾十粒鐘既努力無晒,最後仲要彈撚埋我出game,淨係屌你老母都比面你,話就話好玩,咁樣搞尻我真係無撚晒癮,祝暗榮快啲執笠
