Dah! I just realized I should have reversed the gradient on the weakest performers. Warmer colors on sonic forces, and lighter colors on the longer bars, like Mario Tennis.

Thanks for your insights. I ended up removing zero from the axis because it was causing the distances between each game score to become not too noticeable. I let Tableau handle the setting of the axis range from there. In retrospect, I probably should have fiddled with that more.

Another thing I'll mention is that I had to setup a threshold for the number of votes that a game received. BoftW is super acclaimed, and has 1k+ votes. Funny enough, in third place was a game called Wreckfest, which I had never heard of. It had a score of 9.4, but only had 7 votes. I ended up requiring that the strongest and weakest games have at least 200 votes.
