At the end of the 5-10 minute test the game is judged on those listed factors to give the game one of 3 ratings: Playable, Playable With Issues or Not Playable. What Does Each Rating Mean? Playable - No/Minimal texture issues, no audio issues, performance is perfect. Playable With Issues - Minor texture issues, some audio issues, performance is perfect/good but has slight hitching. Not Playable - Failure to boot, lots of texture issues, audio crackling, performance has regular hitching/stuttering.
