Hoe deze ranglijst is opgebouwd
- Games worden gerangschikt op de samengestelde criticiscore op 100 die van IGDB en Metacritic komt, nooit op de eigen scores van Tier.
- Een game komt pas in de ranglijst vanaf 80 externe beoordelingen, zodat één enthousiaste recensie nooit een bewezen klassieker voorbijstreeft.
- Elke game wordt in slechts één genre gerangschikt, het genre dat hem het best typeert, zodat dezelfde titel nooit twee verschillende genrelijsten aanvoert.
- De community-scores van F tot S staan naast elke game en worden pas als feit gesteld boven 5 Tier-beoordelingen.
- Gedekte releaseperiode: 2021.
- 32 games staan op deze pagina, samen goed voor 6,942 beoordelingen.
- De ranglijsten worden elk uur herberekend; deze is op 29 september 2026 opnieuw opgebouwd.
