When I do long-form reviews, I always put my Recommendation at the top. While I'm not super-strict on sticking to the exact phrases, this list gives a longer explanation of each recommendation (and a very rough X/10-equivalent score for those who really like math in their reviews.) If you'd like to use this system in your own reviews, feel free.

(9.8/10) This game is a religious experience, as close to perfect as a game could possibly be. If you need to buy some more RAM, a new graphics card, hell, even a whole new PC in order to run this, you must. It's worth any price. Just. Play. It.
(9.1/10) Amazing! Pay MSRP and play it immediately
(8.5/10) Really good. You can hold off until you've eaten away your backlog a bit (haha just kidding we both know that won't happen) or there's a price drop/Steam Sale, though
(7.7/10) Good. Probably wait for a >=50% discount

The following Recommendations might come with either a "yes" or "no" vote.

(6.9/10) Nice. Before considering a purchase, try the demo (if available) or a, ahem, "test run" if there is no demo. Maybe grab it if it shows up in a Humble Bundle
(6.1/10) Decent time-waster. Try just borrowing from a friend via one of Steam's sharing/tandem play options. Or take a spare key if someone offers it.
(5.0/10) Of all the games, this is definitely one. I'm pretty sure, at least.

The following Recommendations will always have a "no" vote, except for the rare so-bad-it's-good situations.

---

(4.20/10) Not worth a look at all unless, maybe, it's a licensed game for a property you just love
(3.3/10) Ignore this and avert your gaze if the game ever enters the room. Pretend you never knew it existed
(2.2/10) May FSM have saucy mercy on the souls of those who developed this game. It should be added to your "Ignored Games" list so that you can never see it again and live a happier life.
(0.9/10) You have been cursed for simply visiting the Steam Store page for this game, as have your children, and your children's children, and your children's children's children. The review this is attached to is likely the result of a fever dream. You should scrub your hard drives and reinstall your operating system to purge any taint of this game. A session with a therapist is recommended instead of buying this.
