It's more than just a feeling. A new study from Axios reveals that 2023 has twice the average number of titles scoring 90 or higher on Metacritic. Here are some key details:
This year has seen 25 games pull an average score of 90 or more on at least one platform, according to review aggregator Metacritic.
Game studios' extraordinary output this year came from a mix of sequels that got lots of development time, plus a host of polished remakes and remasters.
Many 2023 games rated in the 80s were plenty impressive. Microsoft's Hi-Fi Rush (87), EA's Dead Space remake (89), FromSoftware's Armored Core VI (88) and indie upstart Pizza Tower (89) just missed the Metacritic 90 score this year.
There's some nice analysis in the report too. Why do you think 2023 was so successful?
