The Patient Gamer reviews are opinions based on the general quality of the games, probably biased and correlated to the amount of fun the player had while playing. We all know these things are subjective, so the scores try to somewhat reflect technicalities from a game design's standpoint. It's like judging art or music: there will always be people who thinks something is garbage or a masterpiece, but everyone can critique the final product by its production, technique required, the complexity of the composition or the matching tones and colours to its specific moods.

Be patient and game on!
