Positive means liked it overall; Mixed means mixed or just okay overall; Negative means disliked it overall. Each needs the author's overall words and a stated reason. No author score is shown, converted, or used.
Unclear is not Mixed. A list of good and bad points alone is not enough. Other contains readable opinions without a confirmed overall evaluation and stays outside the chart.
Percentages
16 readable opinions = 16 in the chart + 0 Other. Percentages use only Positive, Mixed and Negative opinions. Other is excluded from the denominator. Whole-number labels are rounded to total 100%; the bar uses exact proportions. An empty chart has no percentages.
Selection and sources
These are selected current individual opinions, not an overall game rating, not representative of all reviews or players, and not a historical launch snapshot. Views, likes and subscriber counts do not add weight. We seek one opinion per observable author for each game, without claiming verified identity.
Articles and videos use the same rules. Spoken evidence links to the checked passage. Creator-description evidence links to the video page and does not claim a playback time.
A written review may also link to a video shared by its author. In that case, the summary and category use the written review. The extra link is not another opinion, and does not mean we reviewed the video.
