Where Gex: Enter the Gecko sits on the grid
The grid places every game in the catalogue on measured axes rather than on an opinion. This is where Gex: Enter the Gecko lands on each map it has the data for, with the share of the catalogue it beats on each axis.
- Year
- 56ahead of 11% of the catalogue
- Reach
- 13ahead of 64% of the catalogue
Percentiles are against the games that carry a reading on that axis, not the whole catalogue: counting a game with no figure as a zero would flatter everything that has one. How the grid works.
