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.

“MOTORSLICE is not the worst substitute for Prince of Persia mixed with Shadow of the Colossus, offering engaging acrobatics and interesting bosses. However, the developers tried too hard to stretch out the playtime, which is why the first half of the campaign feels significantly better than the second. On top of that, the game suffers from a number of unpleasant flaws, some of which stem from the developers' desire to "troll" the player and their fixation on indulging erotic fetishes on the level of run-of-the-mill hentai.”

“MOTORSLICE succeeds in its main promise. The game delivers fun parkour, good boss battles that truly evoke a sense of grandeur from these machines, and well-designed environments capable of conveying the feeling of strangeness and loneliness characteristic of liminal settings.”

“MOTORSLICE is a really fun and interesting game to play even though it is occasionally clumsy to play in certain situations. The idea of megastructures and slicing them is certainly unique, and taking inspiration from Shadow of the Colossus was pretty interesting. Should you possess the patience to navigate its technical clunkiness, overlook the poorly explained plot, and find joy in atmospheric sci-fi settings, I would certainly suggest giving MOTORSLICE a try to witness the saga of the girl, the chainsaw, and a truly grueling shift at work.”

“MOTORSLICE seems like a brave and novel step forward for the people who made it. While it may not be perfect, it is striking, which is often enough to make an independent film worth seeing.”

“In an era where so many games seem terrified of simplicity, Motorslice feels confident enough to strip everything back to movement, atmosphere, and momentum, and it is all the better for it. In short, chainsaw go brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.”

“Motorslice is a game that needs a few patches to sort out some of the clunkier elements of its traversal, like the parkour and jumps not landing as they should. There is some awkwardness with dialogue choices but they can be ignored as they have no bearing on the story. The world itself is well designed but it needs more substance when it comes to enemies too.”

“MOTORSLICE is one of those games that will surprise you, in a good way. The satisfying platforming, combined with its presentation, music, and immersion, makes it a completely different vibe. Certain elements, like its combat and lack of replayability, leave much to be desired, but it’s undeniable that it’s interesting and engaging from the title screen all the way through the end.”

“The gameplay of Motorslice is pure fun most of the time. Smooth movement like Prince of Persia - The Sands of Time meets flow moments like in Mirror's Edge. And dare I say: No other game interpreted boss fights like in Shadows of the Colossus in it's own way quite so good as Motorslice does! Likewise the mechanical imitations of living spaces the slicer P fights her way through are just wonderful in the way they're not meant for humans. And if I look down after a long ascension and spot the level geometry of the place where I started 30 minutes prior, the sense of space of the interconnected world is astonishing.”

“While MOTORSLICE starts out great, it can get unwieldy the longer you play it (read: it became too difficult for me). Despite this, MOTORSLICE can be quite fun with its clear, singular vision and brutalist style.”

“Motorslice takes a clear cue from classic games like The Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time and Shadow of the Colossus, but its unique setting, charm, and impressive sense of scale make it an intriguing, if familiar experience, though it's plagued by technical issues and some inconsistent platforming.”

“Motorslice never gets in the way such that makes any task impossible, but it never becomes any less annoying when it leads to you falling to your death on occasion.”

“Motorslice is an excellent illustration of how focused design can work. It loves itself just the way it is, warts and all, which makes for an amazing experience. People who are willing to work with it and get past its problems can gain something extremely special: a direct link between you and the movement.”
