rating system
How things rank
A rating system is a standardized method for evaluating and categorizing things according to quality, suitability, or intensity.
Film rating systems indicate age-appropriateness; credit rating systems assess financial risk; star rating systems rank restaurants or hotels.
The game received an M rating under the ESRB rating system.
Rating systems aim for consistency but often reflect cultural values and can be controversial.
