VSG Stats
VSG covers a lot of games and aggregates a lot of reviews, and in the process we collect a lot of data.
We also believe in radical transparency, which to us means sharing that data to the fullest extent possible, and explaining how that data is used in our analysis. Nothing is hidden behind a paywall or obscured from view.
We have a lot more data to share, and will expand this page over time.
This page is updated monthly.
