Where Spyro 2: Ripto's Rage! sits on the grid

The grid places every game in the catalogue on measured axes rather than on an opinion. This is where Spyro 2: Ripto's Rage! lands on each map it has the data for, with the share of the catalogue it beats on each axis.

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.
