It is a common thought that the scores on video game reviews are a little inflated and that on a scale of 1 to 10, the center is not 5 but 7. Therefore, readers had to adjust their comprehension skills to get a better understanding What is a good, bad, mediocre, excellent, or normal game? A study conducted in Spain by the former editor of Gamereactor, Sergio Figueroa, sheds light on the problem and offers the opportunity to test some of the authors you know.

The research brought in data of more than 16,000 reviews from five relevant Spanish outlets (including Gamereactor) and platform (s), developer, genre (s), author and of course Human Score. Then an NLP (Natural Language Processing) algorithm read and evaluated the same texts and evaluated them according to the mood it conveys to the reader. Do the words match the scores?

The first conclusion is that the averages are expected to be above 7 for both human and robot reviews. But there is also a variation in every multi-platform website, which means that the human scores are increased between 3.7% and 5.4%. The analysis continues to isolate various factors, as you can see in the TCC online interactive visualization. The second conclusion revolves around how human scores are prone to extremes, and what if that means for any business.

A fun feature of the web app is to search for authors who were included in the study and see what their average score is and how they compare against the algorithm.
