Our Review policy :
Forza Motorsport 6
" The winners in this race are the players "
We give every game reviewed in our magazine or on our website a score out of 10 . That ' s not an objective rating against all other games , but a weighing up of what the game attempts to be , how well it manages it , and how it compares to other games which tried to do the same thing .
We get our scores by averaging scores

Metal Gear Solid V : The Phantom Pain
" Top of the scale in terms of action-packed third person gameplay "
8.8
RIse of the tomb raider
" One of the most enjoyable and rewarding bigbudget titles in recent memory "
for smaller elements of the game - its presentation , for instance , or how well it manages to tell its story .
It ' s a common criticism of game scoring that it ' s geared too high , and an average game is called a 7 . We agree , so we ' re clear that a 5 will always mean average . That might mean that we score games a little lower than some other outlets , but you shouldn ' t take it as an attack on your favourites !
Review Scale :
• 0-2 : Awful . A bad idea , badly done .
• 2-4 : Disappointing . Some good ideas , but let down by its execution .
• 4-6 : Okay . Strong in parts , but for genre fans only .
• 6-8 : Good . Knows what it wants to do , and does it well .
• 8-10 : Excellent . Pushes the boundaries of gaming as a medium .
