This evening, we have added a little tool for users to allow them to check any game to find out if their rig can actually run the game. This applies to any game found on the site, and it sits below the System Requirements card. #steam #indiegame #pcgames #pcgamer

Have to agree. The sheer volume of press releases dropping into email today was insane!

The latest update site brings Metacritic scores onto the game pages and highlights any divergence between user scores and critic scores when Metacritic data is available. The full breakdown of Steam user scores is also on the page. #Steam #indiegame #indiedev #PCGaming #pcgames

We've done some more work on user review analysis for both negative and positive reviews to see what gamers are talking about in their Steam reviews based on key topics. #steam #indiegame #indiedev

GTA VI release fear is real. Looking at the number of games coming out pre-GTA VI, everyone is pushing to get games out. Not everyone wants to play GTA VI, so worth taking a punt and releasing on GTA week while it's quiet? puregamestats.com/tools/laun… #steam #indiegames #gtavı

A 40 could be just below average. It depends on whether you use 5 as an average of 10. A lot of sites deem 7 to be an average. It's all different depending on publication. There is no real standard. I know I always treated 5 as an average game out of 10. Not a bad game, average.

Exactly this. The editor has the final say. As I mentioned in my other post, when a review comes in that looks out of whack, I check it myself to see if it's out of line. If it is, it won't get published, or it gets reassigned.

Also if you are using the scoring system right, a 4 is just below average, with 5 being the average. Sadly, over the years 7 has been deemed an average score. Last time I checked 7 was not halfway between 10 ;)

Also, in my day job, I look after a team of reviewers, and when I see a low score, I will take a look myself (I reviewed games for 20 years) to see if I think it's out of line or not.

It does carry responsibility. It also goes the other way when user scores are too harsh. I did some digging into this, and there are probably more aligned with user scores than we might think, although there are some outliers. puregamestats.com/critically…

We continually work on our potential hits system on the site, and over the past 24 hours, we have made a few tweaks to our calcs. Also, we have now added Potential Hits to the homepage, picking from the top 10 in the next 7 days.
