Every score reflects the complete experience rather than a single aspect of the game. Gameplay, story, visuals, audio, and overall execution are all considered, but their importance can vary depending on the genre. The goal is to provide a fair, balanced score that represents the game as a whole while remaining consistent across every review.
Modern review scores often trend toward the upper end of the scale, making it difficult to distinguish a good game from a truly exceptional one. At Solo Save, the full scoring scale is used as intended. A game doesn't need to earn a perfect 10 to be worth playing, and a well-crafted 7 or 8 can still represent an experience that's easy to recommend. Every score is earned, ensuring that the highest ratings remain reserved for games that genuinely stand above the rest.
