How the Arcade ranking works

This list ranks 17 Arcade games using Elo rather than review averages. Every eligible player pick compares two games directly and moves both scores according to the strength of the matchup.

The ranking currently reflects 234 comparison signals from 5 players. It changes as more people make choices, so close positions should be read as an active race rather than a permanent verdict.
