RAWG publishes an average score only once a game has collected
6 or more user votes. Below that it
returns 0.0 — while still returning the full vote
breakdown. So a game nobody has ever rated and a game with five
“exceptional” votes arrive looking identical.
Those suppressed scores are recomputed from the breakdown, which
recovers 44
of the 88 games here that would
otherwise read as unrated. The rest have
no votes at all — mostly obscure, regional or
unported titles. That is a real absence, not a gap in the fetch: there
is nothing to retrieve.
Everything with a vote ranks in one table, because the order is
weighted rather than a raw mean: a score is shrunk
toward this set's mean of 3.77 in proportion to how thin its evidence is, so
a two-vote 5.0 settles near the middle instead of on top. Metacritic joins at half that weight where
it exists —
36 of these games have
one.

Ordered by a weighted score, not the raw
mean: each game's own average is shrunk toward
this set's mean of 3.77 in proportion to how
few votes it rests on, and Metacritic is folded in at half that weight
where it exists. A 6-vote 4.67 therefore ranks below a 2,100-vote 4.45
— the raw figure is shown under each score, and
sorting
by raw score ignores the weighting entirely.
Bars show how the votes split —
Exceptional, Recommended, Meh, Skip.
A ~ on the raw figure marks a score recomputed from a
breakdown RAWG suppresses.
