What the internet actually agrees on
Every day, thousands of people rank things on TierBuddy. We turn that into data — consensus rankings, the most divisive picks, and honest methodology you can check before you cite us. A recurring data study, free to read and free to embed.
What Gamers Actually Agree On
We aggregated 320 public "best games of all time" tier lists — 9,959 individual rankings — into one consensus ranking. Then we measured what the internet can't agree on.
How the report works
The report aggregates public, SFW tier lists from across TierBuddy. For every item we read where people placed it (S through F), score each placement on a 6-point scale, and compute two numbers: a consensus (the average) and a controversy score (how much people disagree). It is self-selected community data — not a survey — and we say so plainly. The full method is on each report.
Why does this matter? A critic score tells you what one reviewer thought. A consensus built from thousands of ordinary rankings tells you what everyone actually believes — including how much they fight about it. The most interesting number here is rarely the winner; it is the variance, the games and picks that split a room straight down the middle.
Every report is reproducible: the same corpus produces the same numbers, the dataset is generated by a documented, open pipeline, and the charts are free to embed as long as you link back. We publish new reports on a quarterly cadence, and only continue a vertical when the last one earned its keep.
