How this score was computed
The VGC Score is a weighted blend on a press-comparable 0-100 quality scale. Steam approval rates are first calibrated (95% positive on Steam ≈ 89.5 quality, since Steam approval skews high). Press and tracked creator reviews each count ~2x a player review and share one cap against player evidence (creator buy/skip calls pool into an approval rate, calibrated like Steam approval); all-time sentiment is capped and halved (it's context, not verdict); reviews of the current build carry the most weight when a fresh patch anchors the window; and a 'typical game' prior keeps small samples from pegging the scale. Because press reviews and Metacritic user aggregates describe the launch build, their weight decays as the game ages (3-year half-life after a 1-year grace). That's how a game that launched rough can outgrow its old reception once updates win players over. Reviews under 2h playtime (the refund window), non-Steam activations, and free copies are downweighted.

“Forza Horizon 4: LEGO Speed Champions is the freshest twist on LEGO games in ages, but it's not as wild as Hot Wheels. ”

“LEGO Speed Champions content is a worthy addition to the Forza Horizon 4 racing juggernaut. It’s bright, colourful, zinging with life, albeit plastic life with jigging Mini Figs, and most of all is a fun place to take in.”

“LEGO Speed Champions doesn’t add enough novelty to Forza Horizon 4. The Hot Wheels DLC brought its crazy plastic tracks and new sensations, where this LEGO DLC just kind of changes the visual in a more or less harmonious way.”

“The LEGO expansion scores with a great toy world and of course everything that is great about the main game, but lack of content as well as missing active building are quite disappointing.”
