My thoughts on review scores

Posted by AlxDoe - October 18th, 2023


I've made embarrassingly few update posts, here or YouTube.

This topic is a good excuse. So, off to it!


Why I hide my review scores


Simply put, I don't think they matter. Even if I score submissions anyway

The actual review is what matters, no matter how short. Now, if we go

outside of Newgrounds, or at least focus on just games. Given their origin,

they make no sense. Game review scores were carried over from hardware reviews

and I'm sure we can agree you can't objectively compare two games like you can

two cars, for example some engines are objectively better no matter what car they're in.


So honestly, IGN and all those places, even indie publications could benefit

from replacing them, especially if they're shown before the review itself,

with a TLDR-style sentence summarizing every major point of the review.

Am I talking nonsense here, or simply making too much sense?
