@OutofPrintArchive@mstdn.games Is the percentage totally independent of the X/5 scores above it? It looks like they add up to the score but 3+3+5+4=15 and 15x5=75
@Jeltron@pocketpixels.club
I have no idea.
Some do this while others don’t.
I’m not a fan of doing so as I’m of the belief that a game is more than the sum of its parts so making it a simply calculation just feels wrong to me.
@OutofPrintArchive@mstdn.games I completely agree. Some of the best games of all time would lose a lot of points in a category or two but when viewed as a whole deserve a perfect score while some mediocre games are technically good in a lot of categories.
