₊˚ ✧ — HEAVILY based on personal enjoyment !! All that matters to me is how a game makes me feel and which memories it evokes when I stumble upon it... ♡ if I were to play a very shitty game with Sora/watch Sora play a shitty game but it'd turn out to be the funniest shit ever, it would probably get AT LEAST 3 ☆ !! (╯▽╰ ʃ♡ƪ) I just make sure to form an objective thought aswell to make the final decision feel more balanced !! ♡ ₊˚⊹

　　　➳ ★★★★★ (9-10s)

• EITHER AN OBJECTIVE MASTERPIECE OR SOMETHING I GREW REALLY FOND OF !! specifically when it comes to games I get extremely attached when I play something for so many hours, so it'll most definetely happen a lot

　　　➳ ★★★★☆ (7-8s)

• pretty much every good game imo. I'm not ALWAYS too mean with my ratings so it's probably not because of specific flaws. usually I put 4 ☆ when I loved something but just not as much as the 5 ☆ ones

　　　➳ ★★★☆☆ (5-6s)

• either okay in a very positive way, liked it a lot but has specific/very big flaws I can't ignore, no flaws but something I didn't quite like or something like the example I gave at the beginning !!

　　　➳ ★★☆☆☆ (3-4s)

• BAD but not as bad as other things or maybe I found it weirdly entertaining but it's bad to a point where I can't physically give it a higher rating... or maybe it was okay but somewhat boring !!

　　　➳ ★☆☆☆☆ (1-2s)

• straight up garbage or an ABSOLUTE disappointment. when I'm disappointed at something I can't think of ANYTHING else when I look at it so it automatically becomes extremely flawed for me
