How to Play Critical Mass

The aim of Critical Mass is to balance out the critic scores so that the average score on each side of the scales is the same. Increasing the difficulty setting increases the number of games that you need to balance, but the core aim of the game remains the same. Where available, OpenCritic scores are used, although MetaCritic scores may be used for older games.
