Here's how we test

At IsaKaba, we score games out of 5, and as expected, is the highest possible score we’ll give a game. 1, meanwhile, is a title we would suggest avoiding completely. We’ll assess each game across a number of core categories, which we detail below. Below you'll some of the questions we evaluate each game against when coming up with a score:

  • Visuals / graphics: The overall art style / visual fidelity. Are the visuals in line with what was promised? Is the art style unique and speaks to the overall essence of the game?
  • Gameplay: Is it fun to play? Does it set out what it wants to achieve? Will you want to play through it again?
  • Game design and overall presentation: If it’s a puzzle-focused game, how inventive are the challenges? Are menus clear and easy to navigate? Are there accessibility options?
  • Themes/Perspective: How does the game make you feel? What themes does it explore? Does it offer a unique perspective on a common theme or idea?
