ATB-Gaming utilizes a custom three-category review system that focuses on underlining “Should you play it?” rather than an arbitrary score. Games may be reviewed on a number of subjects such as gameplay, story, visuals, multiplayer, etc., and will be taken into consideration on a case-by-case basis. For example, a multiplayer-only game may receive only minor criticism for a middling story if it’s not the primary focus of the experience and vice versa.
The categories, generally, equate to the following:
Play It
“Play It” represents a high-quality game that is worth your time, if remotely interested in the material on display. A “Play It” is a game I’d feel comfortable recommending to fans and newcomers of the genre or subject matter, alike.
Consider It
“Consider It” is just that, a consideration based on whether or not something about the game strikes you that can help overlook inherent flaws. A “Consider It” is not for everyone, but for those who show interest in it, there’s surely something of value to be seen.
Skip It
“Skip It” indicates a title that is not recommended due to a number of flaws that cannot be overlooked, whether it be technical or creative. A “Skip It” is for those who like to punish themselves with a title that can be considered to have limited enjoyable value.
