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.

“MotoGP 22 spends more time on subtle tweaks and playing the nostalgia card than meaningful evolution, resulting in not much more than a merely passable iteration. ”

“MotoGP 22 is undoubtedly the best MotoGP game yet, but there’s still room for improvement. Numerous tweaks and additions result in a game that looks and plays better then ever, but it’s the introduction of the documentary-styled Nine Season 2009 that makes this a must for MotoGP fans, even if they own last year’s release.”

“MotoGP 22 is a "sidestep" for the series, in a year substantially of transition towards a more intense narrative of the race atmosphere, proposes a slightly more simulative riding model than last year, but with a too steep learning curve and some accessibility problems. Anyway NINE Season 2009 is worth the ride, because is a brillaint take on narrative and documentary in a videogame.”

“MotoGP is a very strong racing game that truly captures the feel of MotoGP as a series. Although it's not perfect and lacks the sheen that comes with a bigger budget, the minute to minute racing is fantastic, and its minor issues here and there are far outweighed by the positives.”

“A new year, a new MotoGP games. Milestone brings you more of the same and that feels very good in terms of gameplay, because of the better mechanics. In addition, the addition of the 2009 season is very cool, which makes it worthwhile for fans. Still, the game lacks some things here and there. The multiplayer content is very limited and the AI sometimes does crazy things. No major problems, but there is room for improvement.”

“MotoGP 22 is a tune-up that leaves a very good taste in its playable aspects. The driving sensation is fantastic and the new modes bring some freshness. However, we are facing a continuist delivery in several aspects. Even so, it is still a reference that fans of motorcycling will enjoy in style.”

“It is difficult to have anything to complain about the MotoGP 22 content offer: there is everything the two-wheel enthusiast could wish for. The addition of the NINE Season 2009 mode is great and will be greatly appreciated by fans of the Doctor, while the return of the split screen will make many old school players happy. If in MotoGP 21 the Milanese team had followed the path of accessibility, in the 2022 edition it seems to have focused more on simulation, with a decidedly solid playful set-up, yet not without some uncertainties both in terms of gameplay and on the visual front.”

“MotoGP 22 is the best game in the series to date, but is hampered by its aging core design. Nine Season 2009 is a revolution in racing games as it’s one thing to include legendary riders or drivers and tracks, but another to do a documentary featuring the entire season. The racing is what’s most important and this is the most accessible and fun the racing has been to date all while managing to the up the realism with the tyre and suspension models in the game. The visual and audio design is beginning to feel dated, although certain aspects have been increased for the current generation of consoles, but none of this changes or improves from last year. Then again, the game is only $50, but maybe an overhaul of the visuals and audio would justify a higher price when factoring in the innovative content that Milestone continues to provide year-over-year.”

“Despite improving in some key aspects, MotoGP 22 still needs a better IA and could be more pleasing to the eye with its graphics. The Nine Seasons mode is a compelling one, still, and the game is recommended for all MotoGP fans.”
