Welcome to my RPG scores section. This is how I rank every single RPG I've played in my life on a scale from 1 to 10. I will continue to add more RPGs in the future, updating the list as often as I can. It's currently from best to worst.
HOW THIS WORKS: I score on a scale from 1 to 10 the Story, Music, Graphics, Gameplay and Battle System of each game. Then multiply the total amount by 2 to get a scale of 100 (or basically 10.0). However, lowest punctuation is 5. Now, with veeeeeery FEW exceptions, anything with 7.4 and below is NOT worth playing!
