Como é construído este ranking
- Os jogos são ordenados pela nota agregada da crítica em 100 importada do IGDB e do Metacritic, nunca pelas notas próprias do Tier.
- Um jogo só entra no ranking a partir de 80 avaliações externas, para que uma única crítica entusiasta nunca ultrapasse um clássico consagrado.
- As notas da comunidade, de F a S, aparecem ao lado de cada jogo e só são afirmadas como facto acima de 5 avaliações no Tier.
- Período de lançamento abrangido: 2021.
- 35 jogos aparecem nesta página, com 6,108 avaliações no total.
- Os rankings são recalculados de hora a hora; este foi reconstruído a 29 setembro 2026.
