The number comes last.
Every review begins with controller response, system clarity, frame behaviour and accessibility. The decimal is a compact conclusion, never a replacement for the article.
Tasman Driftline
A superb driving model whose road language is clearer than its sponsorship screens.
Kōwhai Relay
Patient co-op design with excellent assist tools and a slow opening hour.
Alpine Freight 47
The best kind of demanding simulation: specific, patient and honest about momentum.
Harbour Glass
A thoughtful immersive heist with great spaces and uneven guard hearing.
Four criteria, different weight.
Controls ask whether intent reaches the game cleanly. Systems ask whether rules create legible consequences. Performance covers stability and responsiveness on the reviewed platforms. Accessibility considers remapping, sensory alternatives, difficulty support and readable information.
The score is useful only when the route to it remains visible.
