But it’s even worse than journey. Journey lets you explore in three dimensions. This is only two.

To fully understand a video game, we must first be fluent with its art, music, and elements of gameplay, then ask two questions: 1) How artfully has the objective of the game been rendered and 2) How many dimensions is that objective rendered in? Question 1 rates the game's perfection; question 2 rates its importance. And once these questions have been answered, determining the game's greatness becomes a relatively simple matter. If the game's score for perfection is plotted on the horizontal of a graph and its importance is plotted on the vertical, then calculating the total area of the game yields the measure of its greatness.
