How it compares in PlayStation 4
Across the 37 rated playstation 4 products we track, the typical score is 4.5 out of 5. This one sits at 4.3, which is in the bottom quarter of the category. That does not make it a bad buy, but there are better-rated alternatives on the same shelf, so it needs another reason to earn your money.
It carries 1,253 ratings against a category median of 1,789. That is enough of a base to take the score seriously without treating it as settled.
On price it sits in the upper third of a category running from £4.99 to £124, where the midpoint is about £19.99. Paying above the category norm needs a reason beyond the rating, because the score alone does not justify the gap here.
