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.
| Component | Positive | Quality (0-100) | Weight (pseudo-reviews) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Press reviews (OpenCritic) | – | 64 | 40 |
| All-time Steam reviews | 76% | 71 | 1000 |
| Metacritic user ratings | – | 60 | 9 |
| Post-patch Steam reviews (trust-weighted) | 81% | 75 | 8 |
| Calibration prior (typical game) | – | 72 | 50 |

“Although it seems like I'm just bitching about Aragami 2, that's actually not the case. Granted, the combat mechanics are weak, there's no reason to play stealth, and the graphical environment isn't great, but it's still a very fun game. As for its actual price, I don't think €34.99 is adequate, but I'll leave the judgement up to you.”

“For all my complaints, Aragami 2 does pull off making you feel like a ninja rather well. Planning just the perfect route to ambush everyone one by one or slip in and out without disturbing anyone felt really satisfying. It manages to tread that fine line of letting you get away with more than is realistic while still making a perfect run challenging that makes a great stealth game. I just can’t help but feel they took a few gambles with changing things up from the original, and took a step backwards as a result.”

“Padded, mediocre, and tripped up by horribly dated AI and unreliable game mechanics, Aragami 2 is the kind of stealth game that you may want to just sneak past.”

“Aragami 2 is for those with the With good ideas and mechanics that made the first game well-loved, Aragami 2 falls short due repetition and exaggerated length. It's a game excellent for those with the patience to excell in stealth games, but for the many who prefer a fast and action packed game, Aragami 2 will be a difficult to play.”

“Aragami 2 fortunately gives the player more freedom in the way of finishing each step, however the low variety of enemies and their bad AI has made unable to enjoy the game experience as it should.”

“Ultimately, poor combat fails to sour the strong level and encounter design here that meshes beautifully with well-thought-out controls and plenty of mechanical variety. An impressive sequel, but perhaps lacking the purity of its predecessor.”

“Aragami 2, in addition to some of its minor flaws, has covered all the shortcomings of the first game and got a great sequel game.”

“Aragami 2 is a good action and stealth game that evolves what was seen in its first part, improving the control of the character and expanding the online multiplayer, but that slackens in the narrative and in the mission system, becoming monotonous and repetitive.”

“The sequel to the first Aragami shadowly dashes into our libraries with elegant stealth mechanics and much bigger campaign at the expense of maps and enemy variety.”
