Frequently asked questions
What is Compass?
Compass is a community-driven companion for PlayStation players. It helps you discover games through trusted ratings and honest reviews from real players.
How does the Compass Rating work?
Each game's Compass Rating (0–100) is calculated from community reviews. It's weighted rather than a raw average: reviews from players who finished the game, and from more established reviewers, count for more. With only a few reviews the score leans towards the community's typical rating, so one early review can't swing it too far, and a game shows "Not Rated" until it has enough reviews.
What do Gameplay and Immersion mean?
They're two extra scores you can give when reviewing a game. Gameplay is about how it plays; Immersion is about how much it draws you into its world. Game pages show the community's average for each.
What is the Game Pyramid?
A ranked pyramid on your profile of the games that define you as a player, with your #1 at the top. You can share it as an image card.
Do I need an account?
No. You can explore Compass as a guest and browse games, ratings and reviews. To write reviews, vote reviews as Helpful, build playlists, follow players or create your Game Pyramid, you'll need a free account.
