Hey again, Tom here. I’m really excited to announce today that Eurogamer reviews are changing. Here’s a bit about how, and the thinking behind why.
In short, Eurogamer is moving to a five-star review rating system, beginning this week.
For years now, I’ve felt our existing review badges weren’t working hard enough for us, or for you. We ended up recommending a lot of games, or not giving a badge at all to many others – which meant readers not acquainted with our odd four-point scale had nothing to go on. We rarely used Avoid, because it always felt a bit mean.
