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) | – | 86 | 14 |
| All-time Steam reviews | 98% | 94 | 82 |
| Metacritic user ratings | – | – | 0 |
| Post-patch Steam reviews (trust-weighted) | 91% | 85 | 2 |

“Very short but powerfully sweet, Pieced Together is a cosy scrapbooking game that reminisces over the course of a childhood friendship. It's not only fun to play, but a powerful reminder of how precious childhood friends can be.”

“Pieced Together is a delightful exploration of friendship, the beauty a relationship like that can bring into life, and the sadness you can experience once that seemingly unbreakable bond seems to drift apart. It has clearly been created by people who have learned important lessons from life and are able to look back at their younger selves with a level of reflection that evades so many people. This is an experience for gamers of a certain age, with millennials set to be hit straight in the nostalgia while also relating to Connie’s life as a 30-something. Maybe I should get back in touch with some long-lost friends after all…”

“I thought it would just be a simple scrapbook game, and it is, but it's much more that this. It's just brilliantly creative, and I loved the incorporation of puzzle-solving that avoided being too frustrating so it remained cozy and relaxing. I'm very glad I got to play this and can't wait to play it again sometime near in the future.”
