SATISFACTORYSolid games that provide positive play experiences. They’re not revolutionary, but not bad. They’re entertaining and likable. They may not set everyone’s heart on fire, but many will find them to be enjoyable, or even surprising. They’re worth playing, and may be keepers. (10-point conversion: 5.5-7.5)

LACKLUSTERSubpar experiences. They’re not always enjoyable, and we don’t find them to be particularly exciting. Unremarkable, but may have a few shining moments or interesting elements. Genre fans may still enjoy these games, so don’t write them off completely. (10-point conversion: 3.5-5.5)

INSUFFERABLEPoorly designed games. These are generally not worth the time. We can’t in good conscience recommend them to anyone for anything outside of research. They are often broken, with few redeeming qualities. They will more than likely not be fun to play. (10-point conversion: 0-3.5)
