Metacritic has a list of the top reviewed games of 2020 with their platform listed here: https://www.metacritic.com/browse/g...ed=2020&distribution=&sort=desc&view=detailed

The interesting thing about this list is the games are separated by reviewed platform and appear multiple times, so the highest reviewed platform for a title will be listed accordingly. For instance Ori and the Will of Wisps on Switch is ranked 5th with an aggregate score of 93 while the Xbox One version is ranked 16 with a score of 90. So what platform dominates the top 100? Well ...

PS4
19 Titles in the top 100

1. Persona 5 Royal - 95
2. Last of Us Part 2 - 93

Xbox Series X

Top Games (Rank. Title - Metacritic Score)
25. Tetris Effect: Connected - 88
76. Devil May Cry 5: Special Edition - 84

I thought it was interesting that they didn't list Xbox Series reviews without the X, but not sure if they took care to separate S vs X reviews.

Meta-Meta-Metacritic: I'm not even sure it's worth worrying about Metacritic's scores considering the current state of games journalism.

DQXI being high makes me happy.
