Oh, that's simple.

That's it. That's the only game rated 90+ in 2021 so far.

EDIT : Apparently, Chicory went from 89 to 90 in the time I've written this, so there's that too.

 

There's a few more in 2020, but still only 6.

 

You shouldn't consider a game just because it got a score of 90% or higher according to some critics who may not even like the same type of games you do.

Death's Door is at 91. 

 

That said: fuck metacritic. @hddtosdd, pick games by actually reading reviews and watching videos of gameplay, instead of relying on a meaningless number that's supposed to be the aggregate of many different people's opinion based on their subjective likes and dislikes which tells you nothing about what any of them liked or disliked specifically. 

 

Imagine for example one reviewer hates having to level grind in games, and because of that they give a game a score of 1 out of 5 (or 20 out of 100). Another reviewer loves grinding for hours to increase their stats, and so they give the game a 5 out of 5 (100 out of 100). Metacritic will take those two reviews out and average them out to a score of 60 out of 100. But what meaningful info do you get from just seeing "60/100"? What would be important is whether you like or dislike level grinding, and to find that out you have to do more research then looking at a metacritic score. 

 

This is just a simplified illustration because I hope no "professional" reviewer would rate a game 1/5 or 5/5 based on their personal opinion on a single mechanic, but hopefully you can understand what I'm trying to get across. 

 

 

Corps aren't your friends. "Bottleneck calculators" are BS. Only suckers buy based on brand. It's your PC, do what makes you happy.  If your build meets your needs, you don't need anyone else to "rate" it for you. And talking about being part of a "master race" is cringe. Watch this space for further truths people need to hear.

Says 86 to me????
We must not be seeing the same thing for some reason and yes, fuck metacritic.

But that's pretty much the "best" website that fits the criteria of the OP, since it encompass "all of the ratings sites".

Well, OP's question is fundamentally flawed, just like most questions constructed as "What is the best (X)"?
