I obviously can't speak for everyone's process for arriving at a score, but my process is very simple: If I had to sum up my experience with this game in a word, would it be closest to Masterpiece (10), Amazing (9), Great (8), Good (7), Okay (6), and so on.

Example! I just reviewed Nier Replicant Ver 1.22etc. That's a game that has a litany of flaws, many left over from the 10 year old game that its based on. If I were to just deduct from 10, that game would probably end up as a six.

But that ignores the human element of how much of an impact that game's story had on me, which was enormous. I say it at the top of the review: "The ways in which Nier Replicant disappoints are mostly forgivable when you consider the ways in which it astounds."

The feeling that I got walking away from Nier Replicant after all things were considered was: "Man, this is a great game, even despite these obvious flaws." And so, I gave it an 8. The rest is justifying that feeling in the writing. It's really that simple.

Anyway, this thread brought to you by my frustration of always having to explain why a game got a good score despite me critiquing a bunch of not great parts about the game, or why a game got a not great score despite me praising a bunch of aspects.

I usually go by categories and do the math at the end. EXP: Music, Art style, Game play, Mechanics, story, voice acting and so on.

I start my scores at 430, which then drop to -6 if I find an unskippable cutscene, then +25 if I can pet a dog, but -77 if I can't recruit said dog, but +200 if the main theme is also the final boss theme, and

Bold of people to assume writers can do math.
