Forums - Gaming Discussion - Metacritic Game of the Month, Feb 2016. XCOM 2 is Game of the Month!

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.

Hmmm, I didn't enjoy Firewatch as much as I hoped (In fact it was sorta dissapointing cause I was quite intrigued by it), but I'm enjoying Gravity Rush a lot, so there's that.



XCOM2 is awesome but I'm likely to have my ass handed over by Project Avatar !



Fates incoming! Especially Conquest! Plssss :p

Gravity Rush is going to be one the first thing I pick up when I get a PS4, looks sweet.

I'm curious if Fates will retain the 90+ that Awakening got because of the dual game structure. I sincerely hope it does, and I intend on getting both versions regardless.

I expect SFV to appear somewhere near the top of the list.

I expect them to, but remember, Birthright's the one that's closer to Awakening. ;)

Many critics did actually review the games seperately, however because of that, and because many reviewers lumped both games into one review, each version individually has fewer than 10 reviews at least currently.
