What is How Difficult Is It?

How Difficult Is It is a community-driven platform where players rate the difficulty of video games. It helps players understand how challenging a game is before they play it by aggregating ratings from many players into a more balanced overall difficulty score.

How are game difficulty ratings calculated?

Each game's difficulty score is based on player-submitted ratings. Users rate difficulty on a scale from 1 to 10, and the site aggregates those ratings into a single average score. As more ratings are added, the score becomes more accurate and stable.

Who can submit a rating?

Anyone can submit a rating, but ratings should reflect actual gameplay experience. Users are expected to rate honestly and avoid spam, abuse, or manipulation.

Why does a game need at least 5 ratings to appear in rankings?

A game needs at least 5 ratings to appear in rankings to improve fairness and accuracy. This helps reduce the impact of biased or inaccurate individual ratings and prevents games from appearing in rankings based on too little data.

Are difficulty ratings subjective?

Yes. Difficulty is inherently subjective and can vary from player to player. However, by combining many player ratings, the site aims to reflect a broader community consensus.

Can I update my rating?

Yes. You can update your rating at any time if your opinion changes after more playtime.
