The grading scale

logopiccolobnAre you confused by the ratings we give to titles?
You shouldn't! But if you really, really are, we thought we'd clear things up.

We at Joypad use a scale from 1 to 6, where 1 is the minimum and 6 is the maximum. For anyone who has been to school in Switzerland this is immediately understandable, since it is the same yardstick used during the "espe". We use the 1/4 point to further differentiate the voting categories.

 
 
 
A very short guide:

  • 6.0the game is perfect
  • Vote 5.5:  the game is Great
  • Vote 5.0: the game is Good
  • Rating 4.5: the game is passable
  • 4.0 vote: the game is Sufficient
  • Rating 3.5: the game is Slightly insufficient
  • Rating 3.0: the game is Insufficient
  • Rating 2.5: the game is severely insufficient
  • Vote 2.0 the game is terrible
  • Vote 1.5: the game suffers from serious problems
  • Score 1.0: the game It shouldn't have existed
  • N/A This means we have no basis for comparison or we've voluntarily decided not to assign a score. This usually happens for hardware products like consoles, PCs, and peripherals.
