Top Scores 2014: Critic’s Choice

Critics love “Rocks in my Pockets”: the soundtrack is one of the top 30 of the year.

I’m really happy to see my name and my score in this chart at 27th position surrounded by my favourite composers

Welcome to the ultimate Top Scores 2014: Critic’s Choice list!

How does this work?
This is a list based on a number of review sites, including my own. The ranking is based on the average of each score. Each score must have at least 3 reviews to be counted. TOTR which stands for Total Rating, which is the average of all reviews, and REVIEWS which is the number of reviews the final score is based on.
