Around the end of every month/start of the next 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 game 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.

Very interesting month overall. Congrats to Inside, the first 90+ of the year to not be on PlayStation. Most games (with 10+ critics) of any month so far. Nintendo systems had a decent month with TMS#FE, Kirby, Zero Time Dilemma, and BoxBoxBoy headlining. And some high profile bombs with Mighty No. 9, Umbrella Corps, Star Ocean, and Trials of the Blood Dragon.
