Review coverage
Critic signal strength
Numeric critic scoring uses full scored reviews once available. Review-in-progress scores act as temporary early signal only until full review scores exist. Unscored reviews still count as coverage, but they are not included in the critic average.

Critic landscape
The critic average is 40, but it comes from only 1 scored review. That makes it a starting point, not a real consensus.
How to read this
One scored review can be useful, but it should not carry much weight by itself. The individual review card matters more than the average here.
Score distribution
Shows how included scored reviews are clustered across the normalized 100-point scale.
