One of the few games I played through. 7.5/10 for me.

Out of curiosity, why the low score if it's one of the few games you finished?

7.5 is a high score, even if not the best game they have ever played. A low score would be something well below average (average being 5 in this case).

Out of curiosity, what game would you say is a 5/10?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

I was just scrolling through my most played on Steam and the closest one to average that I can think of is probably Planetbase. It's basically a space colony building simulator. This is the kind of game that you boot up once every 3-4 years, play through a whole colony, and then uninstall and forget about. Not bad by any means, but I wouldn't say it's very exceptional either. While it has some challenge scenarios and different planets with their own characteristics, the game boils down to the exact same formula once you get a self-sufficient base started, and therefore replayability is really not there. However, it has entertained me for over 100 hours in the past 8 years, so do with that information what you will.

A perfect 5 or 6 out of 10.
