But scores are still useful for a quick glance of a "Hey, is this worth my time?" kind of thing so it would kinda suck if they went away entirely.
Well, Eurogamer kind of does have a 4 or 5 star system here, if you want to look at it closely...
...especially if you look at the section about how they tied their "not-numbered" system to Google's 5 star system:
When searching for reviews in Google, however, you will still see star ratings attached to Eurogamer reviews: five stars for Essential, four for Recommended, one for Avoid, three for everything else.
Google is a very important source of traffic for us, and it's vital that our reviews are made easy to find by being as featured as prominently as possible. The star ratings help a great deal with this, and we feel that the scheme I've just described is a pretty close match for our system that won't misrepresent our reviews. That said, it's important they are not misinterpreted as us sneaking a numerical score out there by stealth. If you see three stars against our review on Google, that means the game belongs to a broad middle band of quality - not that it secretly got 6/10.
So, basically....they're just not giving out 2's, when tying it to Google's star system.
If a game gets no score, it's more or less a 2 or a 3 - just they're giving it the nod to a 3, regardless.
