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.

The first 90+(s) the year! Congrats to Uncharted and Overwatch. Poor Battleborn falls into obscurity. Homefront and TMNT bombed harder than they had any right to. Only a single Nintendo release :(
