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.

    INTI CREATES CO. with Majogami definitely did a good job. The video and sound are well inspired and of good quality, the level and game design are interesting and intelligently placed. An unexceptional and predictable narrative but still enjoyable and the use of really fun and interesting combat system ideas. The feel of power that Setsuna gives you is strong, as well as being very fun to watch and play. However, everything is still immature. Majogami seems like a game with good potential but still with numerous microflaws. An experiment that, if cleaned up, can give rise to a good sequel. There are no macroscopic defects but many small stumbles and naivety which all together undermine the experience in the long run. For example the Jpop rock soundtrack that accompanies the player when transformed which, honestly, is intrusive. Another is the exhausting static narrative or the choice to tell the end of the story relegated to a new game plus. Last but not least is the ecchi element, inserted in context with even crude themes and especially with some characters who seem anything but of age. I understand those who may also feel uncomfortable although I repeat: there is no explicit sexual content for adults.

    Majogami is the best Inti Creates game in a while, it turns out. The art direction is stunning, the music and voice-over work engaging, the combat system deep and flexible, and the boss battles riveting. With a crisper narrative, less repetition in the post-game, and greater connectivity between platforming stages and boss encounters, it could have been the best ever.

    Shiroha's adventure is captivating, blending a story full of mysteries with a stylish world made of paper and crafts. The journey to recover the protagonist's memories is accompanied by charismatic characters and memorable encounters with the Witches of the Arts, guaranteeing moments that truly engage the player.

    Majogami isn’t just another 2D action platformer; it’s the result of Inti Creates’ decades of experience with the genre, remade with big goals. It’s one of their best games in years because of its tight gameplay, beautiful art, and smart boss fights.

    The game boldly embraces girl battles, complete with dynamic cutaways and iconic “beam struggle” climaxes. If the storytelling were more compelling, this could easily be Inti Creates’ best title to date.

    Majogari is a unique and thoughtful game with a deep philosophical story about memory and rebirth. It features surreal art and fast-paced action. While it has some unbalanced battles and requires completing all levels, it's an overall memorable and unique experience.

    Honestly, I don't know if I'm overrating the game's overall quality in this text, but the truth is that Majogami entertained me quite a bit. It's not that the game moves mountains or does anything radically different from what we already have in the industry, but the composition of the elements works incredibly well; the combination of fun combat, a unique aesthetic, and captivating characters results in something that's truly worth investing my time in.

    Overall, I enjoyed my time with Majogami, I just feel it could have been better. Though I love the artwork and amazing style Inti Creates always brings to the table, I feel the gameplay was more than a bit jumbled. The simplest way to put it is that sometimes less is more, and I hope that next time, Inti gives us a pure, easy to parse concept with all their usual amenities. Still, those looking for witchy fanservice, gorgeous artwork, surprisingly deep replay value and epic boss battles have a great new adventure in Majogami.

    Despite a slightly tangled narrative and some very uncomfortable sexualisation of female characters, Majogami offers an engaging action adventure that drips imagination and flair. Once you've gotten the hang of combat, prepare for some impressive boss fights.

    Majogami is a fun, fast-paced romp with a fair bit of replay value. It can get a bit repetitive due to the nature of the main character’s gimmick, but you’re encouraged to finish up each level as fast as possible. And despite the speed of the game, the composition of the visuals makes it easy to distinguish between foes and the direction you’re going to rend unto them. A great action-platformer all around.
