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.

    The Infernal Edition represents the most complete and modern incarnation of Blizzard's classic. The Reign of the Warlock DLC introduces a new, deep and versatile class, a more dynamic endgame, and a series of quality-of-life improvements that significantly improve loot management and progression. Without overturning the original core, this edition manages to coherently expand the game, offering new objectives for veterans and a solid entry point for those entering Sanctuary for the first time.
