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) | – | 75 | 39 |
| All-time Steam reviews | 71% | 68 | 1000 |
| Metacritic user ratings | – | 57 | 16 |
| Post-patch Steam reviews (trust-weighted) | 75% | 71 | 422 |
| Calibration prior (typical game) | – | 72 | 50 |

“It’s one of those experiences that you can spend half a day within without feeling the time melt away, made even sweeter with the optional co-op. There’s a little bit of something for everyone lured in by the promises of the Chimera, the first-person shooter elements of raiding harmoniously co-exist alongside the more open sandbox Outpost creation features.”

“Meet Your Maker reminds me a bit of Mario Maker, but much more violent and serious. The player has the opportunity to exercise his creativity and it is fun to go through the levels to complete them. There is nothing wrong with the gameplay, which is responsive and precise. Nevertheless, I still don't know if the game will have the opportunity to shine for several months. While the developers have already planned, and announced, additional content, I have the impression that the content generated by others will not be enough. The experience benefits from being in the PlayStation Plus program since its official release, but will it be enough to make up for the feeling of repetition that sets in within a few hours?”

“Meet your Maker is a solid new adventure for Behaviour Interactive, boasting a strong community-driven set of systems and mechanics that encourage creativity and ruthlessness in their design. The lack of available options, a poor progression system and grid-locked currencies dull the excitement of raiding somewhat, but the core structure of this outpost should allow it to harvest for some time yet.”

“While some truly brilliant player dungeon designs shine through, Meet Your Maker needlessly over-complicates a simple and fun concept to the point of exasperation.”

“Meet Your Maker is a cunning blend of testing your skills and wits against devious deathtraps, and the creative joys of creating your own murderous mazes. The progression systems are a bit slow, the restrictions it puts on your ability to create levels somewhat restrictive, but there's the foundations of a game here that Behaviour Interactive can build upon.”

“Killing raiders and building deathtraps has never felt so satisfying, but does the fun last?”

“Meet Your Maker is a pretty unique take on user-generated content; you will have to stoop down to its level to enjoy it, but it offers a delightfully masochistic experience for those willing to bash their head against an obstacle until it breaks.”

“Meet Your Maker is a singular multiplayer game that mixes dungeon crawler, tower defense and community creation in a very interesting way. The recipe is addictive, and you can come back to it from time to time while pecking.”

“Meet Your Maker is a captivating experience that effectively marries the high-octane action of first-person shooters with the creativity and strategy found in world-building games. Despite my initial reservations about my own creative abilities, I found myself thoroughly engrossed in the process of designing elaborate bases and raiding those of others. While the game does have its flaws, such as the lack of a deep storyline, limited upgrades, and the kill-box overuse issue, the overall gameplay is still undeniably enjoyable and offers a unique and challenging experience. Whether you're a seasoned gamer with a fondness for FPS games or someone looking to dip their toes into the world-building genre, Meet Your Maker offers a fresh and exciting gaming experience that keeps me coming back for more.”

“Meet Your Maker is the kind of game that makes you raise an eyebrow, wondering just what you got yourself into, but after a couple of hours you are addicted. It’s extremely original and clever, there’s already enough content to burn and it will only grow from here, and the build tools are great, providing everything you need but without pointless overcomplications. You can even raid outposts in co-op mode with a friend, and while that doubles up the fun factor, it’s not even essential as the game is a joy to play alone as well, so don’t make that extra multiplayer bullet point as something to significantly weigh on your decision to get this game. And get the game you should. Meet Your Maker comes with a compelling gameplay loop of raid-build-upgrade-repeat that always kept me eager for the next few round. Despite my traditional reluctance for anything involving map editors, I was extremely satisfied and even a bit proud of my creation, adding more to it at every opportunity. A great example of how to make a genre mix work, Meet Your Maker is a delicious melting pot, even if I don’t trust the Chimera as far as I can throw it.”

“If you’ve got a creative streak and a taste for vengeance, Meet Your Maker will have you cackling, plotting and cursing well into the night. You’ll shun daylight, surrounded by an ever-growing field of 3D printed skulls, each representing in in-game kill. And at the end of the day, isn’t that what gaming’s all about?”
