How to read review disparity

Review disparity is the critic score minus the player score after both are normalized to 0–100. Positive values mean critics scored higher; negative values mean players scored higher. It shows disagreement—not review quality, intent, or bias.

Steam and Metacritic comparisons remain separate because their audiences and rating systems differ.
