How this order was built

The ranking is stored, not computed per request, and rebuilt whenever the catalogue or Game DNA changes. Games whose reception is well established lead; games admitted on thinner evidence follow, ordered by reception within that group. Every game listed passes the same score floor as the rest of the catalogue — a game most of its players do not recommend is never ranked, however popular it is.
