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.

    Considering Torchlight Infinite is a free-to-play title, the hours of fun I got, with both free-to-play and paid characters, is a good sign. If you’re interested, check it out; at best, you get a great title to love at no additional fee.

    Torchlight Infinite reaches the sufficiency by virtue of the good ideas that characterize the combat system and the classes. But it doesn't go further, due to a rather anonymous design of scenarios and enemies and too confusing menus. We are therefore faced with a product that is enjoyable but which, unfortunately, cannot keep up with Diablo Immortal and other exponents of the genre.
