How the GamesChart Score works
Every game gets one rating from each source that covers it, on a 0–100 scale, together with how many ratings sit behind it. The table above shows those ratings as they are; open any game's score breakdown to see each one adjusted and averaged. We combine them in four steps:
- Versions merged. Remasters, remakes and definitive editions count with the original game, with their ratings pooled. The original's release year is the one shown.
- Small samples pulled to the middle. Each source is adjusted toward its own average by the number of ratings, so a game with a dozen perfect reviews can't outrank one with hundreds of thousands of slightly lower ones.
- Critics and players weighted equally. The critic score is the average of the critic sources; the player score is the average of the player sources. The GamesChart Score is the mean of the two, so games with more player sources (usually PC games on Steam) don't outvote the critics.
- Enough evidence to rank. A game needs at least three sources, including at least one critic source and one player source.
Sources
- IGDB (critics): critic rating aggregated from published reviews. 22,715 ratings across the ranked games.
- Wikidata (critics): review scores recorded for each game (Metacritic, GameRankings, OpenCritic, Famitsu and others), CC0. 13,375 weighted reviews across the ranked games.
- Steam (players): share of positive user reviews. 105,618,284 ratings across the ranked games.
- IGDB (players): user rating. 713,201 ratings across the ranked games.
- RAWG (players): user rating (data from RAWG). 1,009,369 ratings across the ranked games.
What it can't tell you
- The sources are mostly English-language sites, so games big in other markets can be under-rated.
- Console exclusives have no Steam reviews and are ranked on the other sources (12 of the top 50).
- Older games have fewer online ratings, so their scores rest on smaller samples. Top 50 by decade: 1990s 5, 2000s 11, 2010s 27, 2020s 7.
- A few classics, like Tetris and Street Fighter II, don't have enough recorded ratings across our sources to rank. We'd rather leave them out than give them a score built on one or two reviews.
- A score sums up reception, not what you'll enjoy. It isn't a GamesChart review.
