At some point around the middle of every month, I make a thread conveying the best rated games on Metacritic, to be updated as the month continues. Minimum 10 critics, not including late ports (like Rise of The Tomb Raider on PC, for example), individual episodes of episodic games, DLC, or series collections. I do include remakes/remasters and complete collections of episodic games. For multiplats, I use the version with the most critics. In the event of a tie, I use the game with the most critics.
