How is the score of each game calculated?
The Games Reviews Score is based on the average score of all the review sites that a game has. The Average excludes the
review sites that don't assign a score. If a game doesn't have a link to a review, we leave that result at 0 or
we grant a score that we think is fair, based on the other games. The score is always a value between 0
and 100.
what is the meaning of the colors behind the score?
Games Reviews scores all games from 0 to 100, where the lower scores mean that a game has, in average, less favorable reviews,
and higher score means that the is a favorable review from critics. For each score range there is a color that corresponds to it.
In general, a
Green Score represents a excelent review, a
Yellow score a good review, a
Red score a
mixed review and a
grey score unfavorable review.
How is the score conversion made?
In games Reviews the scores that are given fo from 0 until 100. This means if we want to present to the user a score from
other site, we need to convert it to our format.
If the score goes from 0 to 10 we simply multiply it by 100. If the score goes from 0 to 5, we multiply the value by 200. If not, we use the conversion tables below.
