The Elder Scrolls Online
Buy-Again Score 60.0/100
21/40said outright they’d buy or play it again · 67.5% inferred from the rest of the review text
Two ledgers, always reported separately: the explicit share is the fraction of sampled reviewers who said it outright; the inferred share reads the rest of the review language for the same signal, without asking anyone to rate anything.
Scored from 80 reviews.
Recent reviews are more negative than this game's long-term reputation: 48% negative in the recent sample vs 18% all-time. Worth reading a few before trusting the top-line number on its own.

Public dimensions
These are the three dimensions that measured consistently enough across the register to publish. Every number here carries the count of reviews it was read from.
Buy-again regret signal
The Buy-Again Score above (60.0/100) blends both ledgers equally, and for The Elder Scrolls Online they point in opposite directions from what a top-line negative score might suggest. The explicit ledger, reviewers who stated a verdict outright, runs lower (52.5% again-share) than the inferred read of the rest of the review text (67.5%): the people who said something outright right now skew more negative than the broader language of the sample.
Read plainly: the stated, outright verdicts are currently harsher than what the full review text supports, not the other way around. This signal is only shown here because the gap between the two ledgers is large; for games near the top of the register the same measure is too noisy to use for ranking, which is why it never appears there and never changes the register’s order.
