How We Review

VibeCodeReviewer reviews games made with AI coding tools: vibe coded, AI-assisted or built by AI agents. With AI, one person ships a game in a weekend. Great for creators. It also means a flood of low-effort releases. We play them so you skip straight to the good ones.

Our scores

Every editor review ends with a score out of 10 and one of four verdicts:

• Gem (8–10): Play it. Fun, polished, shows real human taste.
• Solid (6–7.9): Worth your time, with rough edges.
• Meh (4–5.9): A good idea that isn't there yet.
• Slop (0–3.9): Low effort. Placeholder art, no real game loop, or broken.

We play every game we review for at least an hour (or to the end, for short games) on the platforms it supports. Using AI never costs a game points on its own. We judge the game, not the tools.

Player star ratings

Every signed-in player gets one rating per game, from 1 to 5 stars, and can change it later. Developers can't rate their own games. Rankings use a weighted average that starts every game at 3 stars, so a game needs several ratings before it reaches the top.

When at least 5 players rate a game and its average falls below 2 stars, it moves to the slop pile. If the developer improves it and ratings rise, it returns to discovery automatically.

Ads and independence

Developers buy banner ads and pinned spots in discovery. We always label paid placements Sponsored, and they never change a review score, a verdict or player ratings. Buying an ad does not get you a review.
