(account mainly for using GW, not RYM)

Grades
• Masterpiece (10) - games that came close to perfection, games that are special for me, basically personality-building material

• Amazing (9) - games that are close to having no flaws or have very little of them, games that stick with me for a long time

• Great (8) - all-around solid and consistent experiences that may have some drawbacks here and there, but are powerful and deep nonetheless

• Good (7)- less solid but still fulfilling games that may have a quailty or multiple qualities that I consider questionable

• Fine (6) - neat games/experiences that either have one or multiple significant downsides or don't have enough depth/character/polish to be considered 'good'

• Average (5) - either nothingburgers or games that are polarizing, games that are really pale or have a close to an even number of significant upsides and significant downsides

(negative ones probably won't be used because I'm unlikely to even finish games like these)

• Poor (4) - games that might have potential to be alright but fall short of that because of significant issues, poorly implemented features etc

• Bad (3) - games in which the number of issues is greater than of the pros by a hefty margin

• Awful (2) - games in which the number of issues is greater than of the pros by a long shot

• Appaling (1) - games that are irredeemable or almost irredeemable

• Trash (tagged Trash) - straight up garbage that was made to be garbage, software not even close to being finished, or games that came close to being the absolute worst


• Dropped - games that I've lost interest in over time and am unlikely to return to, or games that I already deem as being Poor or worse that I won't bother finishing

• On Hold - games that I've stopped playing either because I got sidetracked or procrastinating, but am likely to pick up later
