  • I’m not sure this is the best way to order these games because imo some of them just don’t belong in the positions they’re in. But, hey, opinions . . .

      You are free to your opinion of how good or bad a game is, but these lists are based on aggregate reviews of hundreds or even thousands of user reviews. Games are in the order they are in because that’s where the numbers put them.

      If you think you have a better way to interpret the numbers, you are free to suggest it, though I would have to warn you that there’s a difference between developing conclusions based on data and retrofitting data onto pre-conceived conclusions.

        You’re right in principe.
        However: looking at the scoring histogram, most users are simply totally uncritical at all and score just about everything a “5”.
        In my personal opinion, most VR apps should score “1-3”, as they are simply not all that good. As a result of this uncritical scoring, the difference between game 1 (4.97) and game 20 (4.72) is actually negligible. For instance, a single “1” score for “puzzles” would already lower their score to 4.96, a few malicious people (say the team of “The Room VR: A Dark Matter”) could put the game down in the ratings, which is only made possible in the many “5” scores for any game.

    I really wonder why YUKI didn’t do better. Is it because of a summer launch? Is it because the schmup genre is too niche? Pixel Ripped was very appreciated and pushed by Oculus. I haven’t seen YUKI been pushed at all. Only 130 reviews…and yes, the score makes sense, it’s very well made. Curious about this.
