Not sure about the rating

Hey! I'm currently playing a few games to rate them, and I’m a bit unsure about how to handle missing elements.

For example, if a game has no music, how should I rate that section? Should I give it one star, or leave it blank?

I saw in the Discord that people are giving 2-3 stars as 1 seems harsh, and you can't save your rating if any are left blank

Ohh, that sounds like a good way of handling it. I was afraid of lowering the scores too much, because I really enjoyed the game, even though there was no music. I think giving it 3 stars for this area might do the trick then. Thanks!

I was wondering this too, so thanks for the tip!

If a game lack something that appears in the rating, I give it a one star, I don't think there's an option to leave it blank.

I think giving one star for something that wasn't included isn't harsh, it shouldn't affect the other categories. This way the people that did put the music in can shine in that category!
