5-Star Rating System: The Best and Worst of Each Star
Heavily inspired by Detchibe's list, I'm gonna do my best to talk about what I feel to be my highest and lowest of every star category.
I went over my general rule-of-thumb for how I rate games in my review of Majin and Sacrificial Girl, but for the sake of making things easier I'll reiterate it here as well:
★★★★★ = This just hits different. Play these. Favorite video games of all time ever. I try my hardest to be as "objective" as I can with these ones, but you can't objectify personal experience and taste.
★★★★ = Very good video games. Easy recommendation. They hold out as strong examples as to why I love the medium so much.
★★★ = Good video games and experiences worth merit. I hesitate to blanket-recommend these for some reason or another, but just like with Majin, a 3-star generally means that it has clear flaws or problems that will probably knock it down a star, but I truly enjoy it for what it is.
★★ = Mid and I don't like it, or there's just something holding it back from being actually good.
★ = Trash. Either flat-out does not work, or morally reprehensible. Possibly both.
