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) | – | 43 | 3 |
| All-time Steam reviews | 83% | 77 | 207 |
| Metacritic user ratings | – | – | 0 |
| Post-patch Steam reviews (trust-weighted) | 100% | 97 | 0 |
| Calibration prior (typical game) | – | 72 | 50 |

“Oh...Sir! The Hollywood Roast expands slightly on the original title, but for every minor improvement it makes, it stumbles over a list of missed opportunities, poorly-handled references, and a script that really could have used a few more rewrites. One-on-one verbal battles are still fun enough for the first hour or so, but beyond that it gets repetitious and even downright intolerable. We don't really recommend either title, but if you had to pick one then we'd recommend the original over this tasteless B-movie.”

“A rather fun insult generation, though it wears off quickly, it’s quite humorous for bursts of an hour or two.”

“The theming and phrases having a more entertainment-oriented vibe does differentiate the two games a bit and adds personality to the proceedings but there’s still no getting around that, like the original, this isn’t likely a long-term game. What’s great is that it is priced accordingly so if you keep your play sessions from getting too long and space out play a little bit you can probably keep it from feeling quite so repetitive longer. The fact that this is a pretty unique game experience also helps to add to the giggles and low price to make it worth considering for some budget-friendly entertainment.”

“It is a game of no discernible value that fails to effectively skewer the most skewerable of industries. The one moment of joy this game brought was watching it uninstall. In case there remains any doubt, do not buy this game.”

“A rapid‑fire comedy quiz packed with absurd questions, celebrity caricatures, and intentionally provocative humor delivers chaotic party fun, though its crude tone and shallow mechanics limit long‑term appeal.”

“I found Oh...Sir! The Hollywood Roast to be better than the original, the references were more fun yet it's still a very awkward take on insulting.”

“While this game is a fun time killer, I don’t see a push that would drive the need for this game. Sure it would be a great party game with your friends or the occasional online match from time to time, the overall amount of content here is minimal. There aren’t nearly enough character and the amount of lines to choose from for roasts gets repetitive and gives you the been here, done that feeling. If you are wanting to pick it up for the party game that it is then it’s definitely worth the price of admission, just if you are thinking this will provide you with countless hours of laughs at a single sitting then you might be disappointed.”

“Oh...Sir! The Hollywood Roast is a fine game to play with friends for an afternoon, however, quickly becomes an afterthought after a couple of hours of play. There is some fun to be had, just don't expect a deep and engaging experience.”

“Oh… Sir! The Hollywood Roast is a great choice as a cheap and funny party game after a few drinks. Yet, it's better to try the original first.”

“Oh...Sir! The Hollywood Roast is an amazing game if you're looking for a good laugh and to lose a few hours. Roasting spoofs of celebrities and crushing their soul could be one of the most satisfying feelings I've had for $3.99.”

“It's a game and it works, but it doesn't break any new ground and Vile Monarch need to have a big think on where to go from here with the series.”
