Both Metacritic and Opencritic are very well respected within the gaming industry. Both website are very professional unlike fan website like gotypicks.blogspot that was created by a fanboy that ignored like 200 gaming websites from asian countries and included like 200 more gaming websites from European countries.

Here is the list

Metacritic

Opencritic

BotW.

Game of the generation

They shouldn't.
The fact RDR2 is among the top there should be proof enough.

 

[Paltheos]

Huh? Mario Galaxy 2 is two gens ago now.

BotW.

Game of the generation

Agreed. I can't see how anyone can think Mario Odyssey is even the same league as Breath of the Wild, let alone better. The game's so average.

 

[MasterCornholio]

What's number 5 for open critic?

Edit: I think I found it for open critic.

God of War Reviews

God of War is simply a masterpiece. One of the best games of this console generation.

opencritic.com

God Of War with a opencritic of 95 lands it in 5th place. Could you please update the list B Bodomism ?

So is BoTW.

Facts, game controlled like molasses and still received high scores

 

[Touch fuzZy. get BizZay]

I think they are a tad generous to gta and cowboy gta but mario and zelda scores seem accurate

Congratulations aggregate scoring methods

Nope, Odyssey is a masterpiece

 

[KungFucius]

GTAV was last gen. Mario and Zelda were awesome.

 

[MasterCornholio]

GTAV was last gen. Mario and Zelda were awesome.

They did a great job with the remaster but it's nowhere near a PS4/X1 gen game.

 

[THEAP99]

Why only show the top 4 or 5?

 

[Space Runaway]

Interesting Odyssey is up there. It feels like one of the least impactful or talked about Mario releases.

 

[MasterCornholio]

Why only show the top 4 or 5?

God of War is in fifth place on Opencritic. Could just be a mistake on B Bodomism part.

 

[MiyazakiHatesKojima]

This post is proof enough to know you don't have good taste in games.

 

[Mr Moose]

Red Dead Redemption 2 with those controls? Nah. GTA V is too high, too. Can't comment on the Nintendo games, haven't played them.

 

[Explosive Zombie]

Hey... I like 2 of those

edit: how is 2010 this gen?

 

[Guilty_AI]

This post is proof enough to know you don't have good taste in games.

I'm loving Death Stranding so i guess you might be right

Updated.

 

[InterMusketeer]

Metacritic's list is more like highest rated game of the decade, no? Which is an even more incredible achievement voor Mario Galaxy 2 to be honest.

 

[yurinka]

I don't understand why Mario Galaxy 2 is there.

I can understand GTAV and BOTW, that were also released the previous gen but they are too awesome and got a great current gen version.

Regarding Metacritic, I think they should also add somewhere for the multis the average of the review of that game in all platforms, as Open Critic does.

Because as of now in Metacritic games like Cyberpunk will appear as some of the best games of the year and some of the worst games of the year. Which is true, but if we only look at the reviews of only one the versions you get a wrong picture.

 

[Fuz]

No TW3 is proof that critic evaluations are worthless.

 

[MasterCornholio]

Updated.

Thank you.

 

[Verchod]

What an average generation we've had. I don't doubt the quality of Nintendo titles but the list isn't exactly bustling with variety and innovation.

 

[CharlieTuna]

Mario Odyssey is so average though

 

[Brofist]

Where are the movie games?

 

[skneogaf]

Seems nintendo are the best publishers of the generation.

 

[TintoConCasera]

Nice lists. Loved all of those games.

Score aggregators are cancer tho.

 

[Krappadizzle]

Yeah, those are pretty much best of the generation, though I'd take God of War off that list and put Witcher 3 there. But even as it is, incredible games, no really denying that.

 

[MrFunSocks]

They did a great job with the remaster but it's nowhere near a PS4/X1 gen game.

Do you agree that Demons Souls is not a PS5 game then too?

Never cared for review scores or aggregators, I’m not a believer in critics opinions having any real importance on subjective things.

 

[MagnesG]

No TW3 is proof that critic evaluations are worthless.

Sadly game was bugged and the gameplay's average at best on launch.

 

[MiyazakiHatesKojima]

I'm loving Death Stranding so i guess you might be right

Damn......

 

[ethomaz]

There are two or three games from PS360Wii gen lol

 

[Guilty_AI]

Damn......

 

[S0ULZB0URNE]

LOL@ list.

BOTW and GOW deserve to be in it though.

 

[Romulus]

The entire list is suspect, but both Nintendo games are overrated

 

[Bakkus]

Agreed. I can't see how anyone can think Mario Odyssey is even the same league as Breath of the Wild, let alone better

I can't see the opposite...

 

[Mozzarella]

Everybody knows Rockstar and Nintendo get special treatment from journalist.
Bloodborne and Witcher 3 are imo the true Games of this gen.
Breath of the Wild has a good case too but its not imo on the same level.

Dark Souls 2011 is 89 on metacritic. What a fucking joke both of these sites are at determining a game's quality. Those numbers dont say much.

 

[TaylorSwiftFan]

So, this thread was created because of the “Sony is the best publisher of the last decade” thread, right?

 

[Mabdia]

It's just show to me why I just can't care about game journalism and reviews.

Now, would be very interesting to know the best game scores by gamers. That is a measure that I can believe.

 

[Lionel Richie]

Yeah, so people can come in and scream about how overrated both Nintendo and Rockstar are instead.

Probably more for Nintendo fans to fee better about their company of choice.

 

[Deleted member 471617]

I only played GTA 5 which I consider to be a 360/PS3 game and God of War 2018 which is my second best game of the PS4/Xbox One/Switch generation. The rest were either dropped or had no interest.

 

[NinjaBoiX]

The Witcher 3 is fucking shite. It’s riddled with design flaws and utterly inept, mechanically speaking.

I’m sure it’s got a great story and whatever but as a piece of software to “play” it’s really poor.

 

[Hugare]

I preffer GAF's GOTG picks

RDR 2 at 97 MC score hurts my soul. BOTW is another insanely overrated game.

Both good games, but that good? lol, no

 

[Lionel Richie]

Nintendo fans do feel pretty good about our company of choice, but yeah I guess we can always feel better.

 

[MightySquirrel]

Not surprising to see R* games on top.

Nintendo and R* are the best based on those two websites.

It may not be from John, but that’s a nice, varied list
