Each year I like to put together a list of games that released that year in order catalog my completion rates of those rated best on Metacritic, and also a few others of interest to me. Given that I have less time to play as I get older, I want to ensure I am able to play some of the best offerings that release each year and put forth some sort of plan to do so. Of course, If you have any additional recommendations I would love to hear them in the comments!
Top 10 Metacritic Games (No re-releases, DLC, pre-2017 releases)
1. Persona 5 - BEAT
2. Horizon: Zero Dawn - BEAT
3. What Remains of Edith Finch - Unplayed
4. Nier Automata - BEAT
5. Nex Machina: Death Machine - Unplayed
6. Nioh - Unplayed
7. Injustice 2 - Unplayed
8. Night in the Woods - Unplayed
9. Wolfenstein II: The New Colossus - BEAT
10. F1 2017 - Unplayed
Comments: I still plan to play What Remains of Edith Finch, Nex Machina, probably Nioh, and Night in the Woods. I'm not into fighting or racing games too much, so I'll skip Injustice and F1.
