I feel like an adjusted score should have a caveat in your list at the very list. If I were to come back in two reviews and say "how did Overwatch get a 95, it had no story!" your response would probably have to be "I didn't count it," and then I'd have to question how it got a 95 when 30 of your points are then impossible to achieve.

The current metric with story rated so importantly isn't at this point conducive to a MP only game, at least to me. That's my only issue with the review though; if there was a footnote about that sort of score then it'd be fine.

Well actually, now that I think about it, how did Mario Maker get an 88 when that game has no story either? Unless story is a bit of a misnomer as you use it, that game could only feasibly obtain an 85 maximum by your current metric.

Good point! I put * for games that are more fun than the score indicates and I give charm factor too, so it makes since to include some symbol that story was not counted (I'll do an S by it). Mario Maker, I believe, was the first game I reviewed that I didn't hurt it based on story since it had none and it was a level builder.
