I frequently read things I don't think I'll like, so that rating system wouldn't be fair for the books.
4 - Made me think and sticks with me for a while. This is the highest initial score I'll give. If I'm still thinking about it six months later, I'll give it a 5.
3 - It was okay, but lacked weight or quality of writing.
2 - I didn't like the message nor the presentation, nor do I think it is a useful way to spend my time.
1 - Badly written, bad ideas, not thought provoking. But I have to think, is that because I didn't like it, or it's not what I like. Am I being fair?

Yeah, the fourth generation was the one I first owned too. Most of the games I play are 2D games that evoke the 16 bit era, when games were simpler but you didn't have to use your imagination to see what was going on.

You're referring to PS5, but the Xbox Game Pass is such good value too.

The NES certainly shifted gaming from a passing fad into an institution.
