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.

“It's a decent outing for Just Dance 2023, a definite improvement on what's come before and a far less annoying version of the game than what we were served up in 2022. If you're not a fan of the series, there's still nothing here that's really gonna change your mind, it's still exactly the same dance mechanics at the core of proceedings, but, if it's your cup of tea, this is as good a time as we've had with this franchise thus far.”

“Just Dance looks better than ever with a great visual update, preparing for the future of the series and adapting to modern times without forgetting its roots. The subscription service, Just Dance+, needs time to grow and, for now, we don't think it's worth it due to its low amount of content.”

“Just Dance 2023 is the best Just Dance yet, although given how simple the concept is and how long the franchise has been around for, that’s not a massive achievement. This is still the simple party game it’s always been, but there’s a solid tracklist, some dazzling visuals, and the promise of more content to come down the line which makes it worth the investment for anyone who loves to boogie.”

“With a good song selection, multiplayer up to 6 players and a renewed graphic engine, Just Dance 2023 is still an excellent choice if you are looking for a musical party game.”

“Just Dance 2023 Edition brings all the freshness that the franchise needed and a definitive solution by making it as a service instead of an annual title. A must-have game for lovers of good dancing and partying with friends.”

“Thanks to the shift to a service model, Just Dance 2023 should be something that players get years of enjoyment out of. The default game is already an easy recommendation for veterans and newcomers alike due to its diverse track list and wide variety of difficulty options for every genre, and having an ever-growing song library through a subscription is going to help in the long haul since players don’t have to worry about grabbing a new entry at full-price to enjoy a new song lineup and a largely incremental shift in core gameplay.”

“Just Dance 2023 is a dichotomy. For all the new elements that are a fresh and welcome addition, there are just as many egregious omissions. Combine that with a second-rate song list along with Just Dance+ that is equally inadequate, and Just Dance 2023 Edition feels like dancing with the devil under the pale moonlight.”

“Just Dance 2023 is a two-faced production: on one hand, it's hard to not appreciate what's becoming a new beginning for the series. On the other, removing so many features that were in the previous chapters will certainly disappoint some fans.”

“Just Dance 2023 Edition is the beginning of the renewal of the Just Dance saga. It continues to consist of the same as always but it is including new ideas that will lay the foundation to improve future editions.”

“If you want to have a lot of fun, some giggles and get some incidental exercise then Just Dance 2023 is a great option… I still can’t dance but I can have fun flailing about and given I can do that in the privacy of my own home, all the better! Happy to recommend!”

“Just Dance 2023 implements a brand new art direction and refashioned menus, convincingly oriented towards an elegant and simple player experience. Only the users' feedback will tell if the modifications made to the live service - with Just Dance Unlimited's replacement by Just Dance + - will be accepted by long time fans of the series, but at the moment the selection of songs after the dramatic cut made by Ubisoft has not satisfied us completely.”

“Just Dance 2023 Edition could be an evolution in what the dance series has always been but it doesn't quite succeed. The dependence on a connection forcing one to be always connected does not please much. Even so, it is still a good dance game with a new interface, new features between customization and multiplayer mode, it is still a good option to play with friends”
