> Introduction Our idea is to offer an alternative to well-known sites like Metacritic and OpenCritic, but with a different approach. Instead of being a score aggregator, we will be a list aggregator. Metacritic brings together reviews from multiple review sites in one place, providing a final score of 0-100 based on a weighted arithmetic average, where some critics carry more weight than others.
