But Why Tho?
Charles Hartford
To summarize, if you love gaming, love history, or documentaries I cannot recommend High Score enough.

A really sweet video game documentary.
Geeks of Color
Eligoc
High Score gets top marks for bringing these tales to the front, they could have done six episodes on Atari alone.
The Ringer
Ben Lindbergh
There's an artistry to coding, too, and by yadda-yadda-ing the crucial step of converting a vision into a functioning game that feels fun to play, High Score constructs a somewhat myopic portrayal of the development process.
TV Guide
Tim Surette
Video games are supposed to be fun, and High Score does everything it can to make sure the viewer is also having a good time.
Common Sense Media
Matt Cabral
The greatest complement we can heap on High Score also reflects its biggest flaw - we wish it was longer.
The Verge
Joshua Rivera
High Score presents video games as a great equalizer... It does not have any interest in exploring the gatekeepers, inside and out of the industry, who have made this vision as simplistic as it is wrong.
Slate
Benjamin Frisch
Like the games it worships, High Score is an amusing way to pass the time, but one can't help but feel like it's set to easy mode.
Collider
Dave Trumbore
High Score may not be the most in-depth or lengthy documentary series you'll ever see, but the curated interviews from folks with compelling stories and charismatic personalities bring a personal touch.
Paste Magazine
Garrett Martin
Instead of connecting the dots between the various stories it tells, and using them to craft a larger, fully fleshed out portrait of games history, it gets lost in the details of those smaller stories.
IndieWire
Steve Greene
The overriding smoothness of this history leaves it sapped of any dramatic tension. All of the successes are a foregone conclusion. The appearance of "doc series as branding initiative" isn't new, or even a stranger to Netflix menus.
Nestor Cine Desde Hollywood
Nestor Bentancor
An informative and fun nostalgia trip that everyone can enjoy. [Full Review in Spanish]
IGN Movies
Matt Fowler
This series will show you the think tank behind Sonic and the grunts behind Nintendo's gameplay counseling hotline. It's a blast!
The Hollywood Reporter
Daniel Fienberg
Whatever reservations I have about High Score, I'm ready for the expansion pack.
RogerEbert.com
Brian Tallerico
A frustratingly unfocused and scattershot affair, based heavily on who could be contacted for an interview or who had the best anecdote.
Slashfilm
Ethan Anderton
If you've ever picked up a video game controller, you'll have some fun with this documentary series, and you'll almost certainly learn something.
Mama's Geeky
Tessa Smith
High Score is something that gamers are going to appreciate. Viewers will learn what happened behind the scenes of creating their favorite games and so much more.
FlickDirect
Allison Rose
Netflix offers a rather interesting and fairly comprehensive look at the world of video games with its global socialization, culture, competitiveness...and profitability.
CBR
Samantha Puc
Early video game history is complex and absurd. High Score leans into that, which helps shape it into a series that is both informative and entertaining.
AV Club
Sam Barsanti
These personal and often unexpected stories are easily the highlight of High Score, and they're occasionally the only thing that saves it from turning into the public school version of a video game history lesson.
