How we compare games

Our affiliation: every free game we compare is hosted on this site, and we earn advertising revenue from our game pages. We are not affiliated with Mojang Studios or Microsoft, and we do not sell Minecraft. Because we benefit when you play games here, each comparison states plainly where a paid or competing option is the better choice.

How we test: hands-on play of every game we write about. Feature tables reflect what we can verify ourselves; where a data point is not publicly available or not comparable, we say so rather than estimating.

Ratings: aggregate player ratings recorded on each game's page on this site, shown with rating counts so you can judge sample size.

Pricing: any paid-game pricing is checked against the official store at publication and carries an "as of" date. Regional pricing and sales vary.

Update policy: comparisons are reviewed quarterly and whenever a game ships a major change.
