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.

| All-time Steam reviews | 87% | 81 | 1000 |
| Metacritic user ratings | – | 78 | 25 |

“Yes, Your Grace is a short but absorbing game that strikes a sweet balance between the concerns of a kingdom and a family.”

“An interesting combination of kingdom management and point-and-click adventuring that doesn't always form into a cohesive whole. Yes, Your Grace has a flavour all of its own, though, and you'll genuinely come to care for the royal family at its core.”

“Shakespeare, long ago, may have penned "Uneasy lies the head that wears a crown", but it isn't until you contemplate being in that position that you begin to understand it...”

“Yes, Your Grace is a fascinating game with heart. Its short length might turn away some players, but it will be perfect for anyone who loves regret filled choices or was burned badly by the Game of Thrones finale last year. If you like your games with emotional variety and anxiety, you'll enjoy your brief time with Yes, Your Grace.”

“Yes, Your Grace is a very different sort of game. It has a delightful premise, tasking you with the minutiae of running and managing a kingdom and a royal family. It keeps the mechanics of this simple, where they could so easily become unwieldy, but it lets the ramifications and narrative spin from your decisions in all sorts of interesting ways. However, it is also somewhat bleak in tone and unforgiving in its gameplay.”

“I like Yes, Your Grace, but my enjoyment wasn’t unqualified.”

“Yes, Your Grace is a story-driven indie management game that blends light resource strategy with impactful narrative choices. As King Eryk of Davern, players must balance royal duties, family pressures, and looming war through weekly court sessions, responding to peasants and foreign envoys alike. The game features a countdown structure leading to inevitable conflict, with a mix of kingdom resource juggling (gold, food, happiness, military strength) and character-driven storytelling. While not deeply complex strategically, the heartfelt writing, especially interactions with Eryk’s daughters, and branching outcomes create strong emotional engagement. Though narrative rails can undercut player agency at times, Yes, Your Grace succeeds as a unique hybrid of management sim and interactive drama.”

“Yes, Your Grace isn't just your typical kingdom management simulation. The first game of the studio Brave At Night is a very story-driven experience with inspired pixel-art visuals. Alas, it turns pretty bland when it comes to convey the epicness of the battlefield.”

“Yes, Your Grace is a fresh take on kingdom management and a tale about the importance of family. Managing resources and building an army is an unforgiving task, but an engaging story and likeable characters make your sacrifices worthwhile.”

“Despite variable success with the choice element, this is a kingdom you’ll want to save.”

“But overall, this was far from the rogueish resource management game I’d feared, and a far more rounded story adventure. Which made it exactly what I wanted, while I completely understand how the reverse happened for so many others.”

“A simple pixelart game with a story that could be envied by many big RPGs. [Issue#302]”
