- A game only enters the ranking with at least 80 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: 1970 to 2026.
- 8 games are listed on this page, carrying 7,565 ratings between them.
- Rankings are recomputed hourly; this one was last rebuilt on 29 September 2026.

Max Payne
Max Payne is a man with nothing to lose in the violent, cold urban night.
