I rate games based on the following:
- Puzzles (2 points): how good are the puzzles? Are they fun? Challenging? Suitable for the game and not too unintelligible?
- Mechanics of puzzle and game (1 point): how well do the
puzzles for into the game? Are the mechanics suitable as well?
- Story (1 point): Is the story interesting? Do I understand it?
- Plot (1 point): Am I constantly interested? Do I know what to do next (as in if there is a hint system or is there a way to progress without having to retry to understand it)?
- Replay (1 point): Would I replay it?
