[QUOTE="mamba, post: 9019657, member: 7034611"] the definition is “the standard of something as measured against other things of a similar kind; the degree of excellence of something”. I do not see a requirement for this evaluation to be objective, and quite frankly it almost never is there is more than one scale to measure, quality is an aggregate, and in no small part a measure of subjective things agreed, let’s say it is a jumbled mess that lacks a consistent plot to follow and spends half its pages on locations that in no way connect to the main story and contain widely unbalanced encounters. Is this objective or subjective? My jumbled mess with no plot could be your wide open sandbox. That incidentally is also why I wrote for a review to be helpful you need to know the taste of the reviewer, because something they consider a negative could be a positive for you or vice versa. Just saying ‘it’s good’ or ‘it’s bad’ does not help, saying I did like X and did not like Y is better, because then I can decide how I rate X and Y since its release? it pretty consistently falls into the lower third or quarter when comparing / ranking official 5e adventures as far as I have seen, not infrequently very close to the bottom (but those are older, the 2022 releases could have changed that) yeah, on Amazon most are 4.9 to 4.7. It’s like rap records are highly rated by rap fans and rock records highly rated by rock fans. That does not mean either side will like both records, they do find their audience however. The consistency of ratings on Amazon is also why I looked at sites comparing the various modules. Why do you even care how they are rated, these are subjective ratings and therefore to be dismissed ;) [/QUOTE]
