How would you like the games arranged?
What do the green checkmarks on certain games mean?
These are games I have mapped! Click on the thumbnail to go to the map(s)!
What's with the hovering popups?
People keep asking me WHY I put "game X" in this tier or "game Y" in that tier. The Pros & Cons are there to help answer that question.
Do you really think all the games in X-tier are # stars?
The star ratings are a very rough indication for the tier, not individual game scores. In all honesty, I've tried to avoid giving specific scores for individual games, or ordering games in the tiers, as my thoughts on everything change constantly and it'd be too much work to perpetually update stuff.
S |
S = Superb. Games that — for my personal tastes — are the best the genre has to offer. ( ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ (~95+% rating)) |
|---|---|
A |
A = Amazing. Games that excel in multiple areas or stand out for exceptional ideas, playstyles, or systems. ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ (~85—95% rating) |
B |
B = Better Than Most. Games that are good for multiple reasons, be it their maps, exploration, combat, or a combination. ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ (~75—85% rating) |
C |
C = Commendable. My personal baseline for a MV I would recommend. Skews more towards positive than negative. ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ (~65—75% rating) |
D |
D = Does Some Things Right. Games that did just enough to keep me playing until the end, but often skew more negative. ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ (~55—65% rating) |
Early Access |
Games that I've played parts of in Early Access. Tier placement to be determined at full release. |
