How this ranking is built
- Games are ranked on the aggregated critic score out of 100 imported from IGDB and Metacritic, never on Tier's own grades.
- A game only enters the ranking with at least 30 external ratings, so a single enthusiastic review never outranks a proven classic.
- Community grades from F to S are shown next to every game, and only stated as a fact above 5 Tier ratings.
- Release window covered: 2017.
- 14 games are listed on this page, carrying 3,095 ratings between them.
- Rankings are recomputed hourly; this one was last rebuilt on 29 September 2026.

Gnog
From acclaimed indie studio KO_OP and in association with beloved game-making initiative Double Fine Presents, Gnog is a 3D puzzle game set in a tactile world of toys and secrets.

Filled with eye-catching designs, playful interactions, and a rich, reactive soundtrack, the hand-crafted heads come to life in your hands! Inspired by real-world toy designs, every Gnog head is a miniature world to discover. Grab a bookcase and spin it to reveal a hidden pile of coins, slide levers to navigate a damaged ship through outer space, crank a wheel to cook a stew on the stove – each playful interaction generates lively feedback and surprising consequences. Set to a relaxing and dynamic soundtrack that evolves with each level, the surreal worlds and joyful puzzles of Gnog will have you turning heads!
