Buy-Again Score

Games register

2026-07-20 Edition, frozen 20 Jul 2026. 62 games, ranked by composite Buy-Again Score. This edition does not change after it is published; a later re-score ships as a new, separately dated edition.

Scores are shown to the resolution the review sample actually supports; where two games land on the same composite, they share the same rank number rather than being given a false order between them.

Every score is built from two ledgers, reported side by side: how many players said outright they’d buy or play it again, and what the rest of their language implies even when they never said so directly. Neither number is presented as the whole population.

Three dimensions are shown publicly, calm, social glue, and emotional impact, because those are the only three that measured consistently enough across this whole register to trust. Every score, dimension or composite, is shown with the number of reviews behind it. Where a game does not have enough evidence for a dimension, that is stated plainly instead of guessed.
