Editorial Policy

A figure is settled when two independent public sources agree, or when one primary store page is backed by a second source. One source stays labelled as one source.

The sources we use are official store pages, Wikipedia, IGN, GamesRadar, intoindiegames, ScreenRant, GameRant, HowLongToBeat, Metacritic, PCGamingWiki, Steam Community guides, and studio interviews. Walkthrough sites that copy each other word for word count as one source. Patch notes outrank a guide’s level number when they name a level. Prices and poll averages carry the day they were read, because they move.

Conflicts stay visible. The PlayStation 4 date, the Switch shop date, Chapter 4’s level indexes, and the Steam historical low are all printed as disagreements rather than averaged. Empty cells are intentional. We do not estimate a file size, a trophy count, or a frame rate. Each game page ends with one limitation sentence. The first-person note says what judgment was made, not which request was sent. Corrections: [email protected].
