This scatterplot displays video game critic scores over time, revealing the distribution and trends of ratings across different release years. Each orange circle represents a game, plotted by its release date and critic score, with hover interactions showing the game's name and both critic and user scores. The visualization is built with D3 v5, using `select`, `csv`, `scaleTime`, `scaleLinear`, and `axisBottom`/`axisLeft` APIs to render SVG elements. Data is loaded from a Kaggle-sourced CSV file, filtered to include only valid scores, and limited to 500 points for clarity.
