76Worth it

Worth your time, but not a Keeper. It scores 76 and a Keeper needs 85. It's good, and the audience score is what holds it back. We score it again October 1.

How the score works

Albums, games, films and shows

  • Critics, 40. The published aggregate from Metacritic, OpenCritic, Album of the Year or Rotten Tomatoes. Almost everything reviewed lands between 70 and 98, so a 70 earns nothing and a 98 earns all 40.
  • Audience, 20. What people who paid for it say, from user scores and Steam reviews. A 60 earns nothing and a 98 earns all 20.
  • Track record, 15. Whether the people who made it have made things that lasted before. Debuts start lower on purpose.
  • Staying power, 25. What happens after launch week: chart runs, players who stick around, renewals, sales that keep going.

A Keeper is our bet on what lasts. Some releases show it right away: the reviews, the players and the people behind them all point the same way, the way they did for Elden Ring. For albums, games, films and shows, 85 or above is a Keeper and 75 to 84 is worth your time. Things need 80. We score everything again as time goes by, and a Keeper that fades loses the label. Nobody pays to be here or pays for a score. Every score links to where its numbers came from.
