- Un juego solo entra en el ranking a partir de 80 valoraciones externas, para que una única crítica entusiasta nunca supere a un clásico consolidado.
- Las notas de la comunidad, de F a S, aparecen junto a cada juego y solo se afirman como un hecho por encima de 5 valoraciones en Tier.
- Periodo de lanzamiento cubierto: 1998.
- 20 juegos aparecen en esta página, con 9,492 valoraciones en total.
- Los rankings se recalculan cada hora; este se reconstruyó el 29 septiembre 2026.
