Here’s how I rate the games I review on All Game No Filter. I try to keep things consistent, honest, and fair. A 3/5 isn’t bad — it just means there’s room for improvement.
⭐ 5/5 – Must Play
Game-of-the-year tier. Nearly flawless. Either emotionally unforgettable or mechanically brilliant (sometimes both).
⭐ 4.5/5 – Almost Legendary
Excellent. I loved it and will likely revisit. Small flaws or missing features are the only things holding it back.
⭐ 4/5 – Strongly Recommended
A great game with some rough spots. Worth your time if the genre clicks with you.
⭐ 3.5/5 – Good with Caveats
Fun, but you’ll need to overlook something — clunky systems, slow pacing, or lack of polish.
⭐ 3/5 – Mid-Range
Solid idea, okay execution. Maybe worth it on sale or for a specific niche.
⭐ 2.5 or below – Not Worth It (Yet)
Usually needs fixes, balancing, or a full overhaul. Might have potential, but not recommended in its current state.
