How reviews work
Player reviews show how a game runs on each cloud gaming service. They come from players with a cloudbase.gg account, and we read every written review before it goes live.
How ratings work
Players rate the streaming, not the game: how well it ran on a service. The five steps are Unplayable, Rough, Playable, Smooth and Like local, counted from 1 to 5. The score at the top of a game page is the average of all published ratings on all services, with and without text, and the word next to it is the closest step.
Ratings by service shows each service on its own. Whether a game is on a service at all comes from our availability checks.
By default, the reviews other players found most helpful come first. Each one shows details like plan, device, connection and hours played, if the reviewer added them. Patches and service updates can change how a game runs, so check the review dates to see how it runs today.
Who can review and how we check
Every review comes from a free account with a confirmed email, and each account can review a game only once per service. We don’t check whether someone really played the game on that service, or the details they add.
Ratings without text usually go live within an hour, without a manual check. Every written review is read by one of us first, whether it’s positive or negative.
You can edit or delete your reviews in your account at any time. A changed text is checked again before it replaces the old one. Changes to your rating or details usually go live within an hour.
Rules and reports
Reviews should help other players pick a service, so they stay about how a game runs. We don’t publish reviews with:
Nobody can pay us to add, remove or hide a review. Disagreeing with a review isn’t a reason to remove it.
If a review breaks these rules, anyone can report it with the Report option, no account needed. We check every report by hand and remove the review if it does. If you think a review was removed by mistake, contact us and we’ll take another look.
