The first step is to get the data from metacritic website.
Basic Game information, critic reviews scores and user reviews scores are scraped for the following platforms
- Playstation 4
- Playstation 5
- Xbox One
- Xbox Series X (I assume that also works for Series S)
- 3DS
- Wii u
- Switch
We are not taking the summary of the game as we are not going to use it.
I tried getting data from the following platforms:
- ps3
- xbox 360
- PC
but some issues with user reviews led me to simply abandon. Anyway, we have plenty of recent data to play with!
Once raw data is available, we make sure it is ready to be analyzed (missing values and incorrect formats).
Now it's time to make sense of that bunch of dataframes!
Time for my beloved plotly to shine.
