PlayStation is a home video game console released by Sony in 1994. Its release also marks the start of the fifth generation in the industry. Also known as PlayStation 1 or PSX. There are two main revisions of PS1 — PlayStation and PSone with the latter being released 6 years afterward the first one. It was the first console to introduce the full-sized direction arrows instead of D-pad which was, in fact, one button with the ability to be pushed in four directions. The game lineup was consistent, too, as there were many titles which were remastered and reinvented later on even in decades after their initial launch. Nonetheless the hardware problems and regional differences regarding the change of O and X button functions, the console has quickly gained popularity and sold 102 million copies worldwide. The hardware features like slots for gamepad has also made their way into the games — for instance defeating the boss in MGS is only possible by changing the slot of the gamepad.
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 7 of the 15 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 the all-years mean of 3.79 (too few ranked games here to take a local one) 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 — 4 of these games have one.
Ordered by a weighted score, not the raw mean: each game's own average is shrunk toward the all-years mean of 3.79 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.
No user has rated these, so there is no score to show or recover. Ordered by release date, newest first.
