Forums - Gaming Discussion - Metacritic Game of the Month, Mar 2016 Currently Day of the Tentacle leading!

Around the end of every month, I make a thread conveying the best rated games on Metacritic. Minimum 10 critics, not including late ports (like Rise of The Tomb Raider on PC, for example), "definitive/complete/game of the year" editions, 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 currently use the game with the most critics.

Boy, that's a lot of remasters. The fact that Senran Kagura got a 69 is goddamn perfect.

Thoughts?

Around the Network

Huh last time I saw Divisions metacritic it was in the 90s, it dropped a lot.   Also I'm surprised Hyrule Warriors Legends is that high.

The fact that playing it on the old 3DS makes it damn well near unplayable really makes it surprising.

Two good remasters of classics in the lead.
