AAA Blockbusters (Steam): who's winning player sentiment right now?
Same lens on every title so the numbers actually compare. Higher score means happier players (10 = best, 0 = worst). Each card reads left to right across the last three versions.
Happiest players: NBA 2K25 leads AAA Blockbusters (Steam) at 8.4/10. Needs the most love: God of War Ragnarok at 4.4/10, mostly hand-holding and pc bugs.
