The game is unfinished, broken, unplayable, or so ill-conceived that it doesn&#8217;t deserve the right to exist on this Earth.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">2\u00a0<\/span>&#8212; Bad: Games that are incredibly broken (glitches, design choices) or a bore to play.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">3<\/span>\u00a0&#8212; Poor: Games that may have been designed around a decent idea but fail on most counts. Small vapors of fun might be found here.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">4<\/span> &#8212; Below Average: Games that disappoint considerably more than they excite. These aren&#8217;t horrible, just flawed enough to not want to recommend to anyone.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">5<\/span>\u00a0&#8212; Average: The definition of a &#8220;meh&#8221; game. It&#8217;s a video game that functions; it has some interesting moments, but those are balanced out with equally uninteresting ones. Indifference will be felt.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">6<\/span> &#8212; Above Average: A score suited for a game that&#8217;s just above average. It will have elements that some will enjoy, but it probably won&#8217;t be very satisfying to most.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">7<\/span> &#8212; Good: A good game is defined by being fun, but lacking\u00a0in a few regards. These games might be missing some much-needed replay value, polish, or the extra &#8220;oomph&#8221; that would make them\u00a0great.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">8<\/span>\u00a0&#8212; Great: A great game is exactly that. It brings enjoyment to many and is solid on most accounts. These games feature impressive elements that mostly overshadow their faults.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">9<\/span>\u00a0&#8212; Amazing: These games are simply a joy to play. There&#8217;s only a handful of issues that might cause a tinge of annoyance, but the overall experience is highly recommended and one that will be remembered for years to come.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">10<\/span> &#8212; The Holy Grail: This is as close to perfection as you can get on this Earth. A 10 is the best score you can give, because it signifies a jaw dropping experience with no issues (or so little that they don&#8217;t affect the amount of fun you&#8217;ll have). You might want to put this game in your pants for a bit &#8211; that&#8217;s how much you love it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>1 &#8212; A Massive Failure: There is absolutely nothing redeeming about this score.
