It has indeed been one hell of a January:

  • Prince of Persia the highest reviewed Ubisoft game since AC Odyssey in 2018
  • Palworld explodes into popularity out of nowhere, achieving 6m sales in 4 days, 1.8m concurrent players on Steam alone (putting it at #2 all-time on Steam in that metric), puts half an hour wait times on Xbox Cloud gaming, became #3 on the TrueAchievements most played games charts for Xbox, and garnering 93% positive user reviews on Steam in early access.
  • Tekken 8 becomes the 2nd highest reviewed fighting game so far this generation (behind only Street Fighter 6), reviews 8 points higher than Tekken 7
  • Like a Dragon Infinite Wealth becomes the highest reviewed game in the Yakuza/Like A Dragon series and RGG Studio's highest reviewed game to date, reviewing 5 points higher on average than RGG Studio's previous best reviewed games on Metacritic and 4 points higher on Opencritic

Sadly, the pendulum will be swinging back the other way in February somewhat, thanks to two AAA games that are likely to review in the 60's, Skull & Bones and Suicide Squad. However, it's not all bad for February, as Persona 3 Reload, Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth, and a few other games should review well.
