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 (Metacritic) | – | 68 | 6 |
| All-time Steam reviews | 75% | 71 | 1000 |
| Metacritic user ratings | – | 60 | 7 |
| Post-patch Steam reviews (trust-weighted) | 76% | 71 | 814 |
| Calibration prior (typical game) | – | 72 | 50 |

“Crossout is a MMO action game where players builds their own combat machine from dozens of interchangeable parts. Craft, combat and destroy all the enemies in PvP and PVE online battles.”

“With its fun gameplay and interesting take on the online shooter genre, Crossout is a decent idea that sadly lacks depth.”

“Too heavy on microtransactions and too slow on player progress, Crossout shows an entertaining and solid gameplay, even if some uncomfortable control choices are frankly unexplainable. All in all, being it a free-to-play game, it surely deserves a try.”
