In 2021, there was no shortage of interesting games, and Metacritic has already presented a list of the best titles of the last 12 months. The lists are full of surprises and many very strong proposals from third-party bands.

In recent days, Metacritic has been preparing lists of the best movies, series and games, and the lists may again prove to be helpful for players who want to catch up on a few of last year’s gems. The company collects ratings from many websites from around the world and prepares specific lists, so we can assume that in this case the most interesting productions from various platforms were actually presented.
On PlayStation, we see the dominance of games developed by external partners – the first position created by PlayStation Studios is only in eighth place. The situation is different on the Xboxes, because Forza Horizon 5 and Microsoft Flight Simulator were on the podium.
Many players may be surprised by the high position of The House in Fata Morgana – Dreams of the Revenants Edition, but it is an excellent visual novel that has long been praised by fans of this genre. Microsoft’s games could not be missing on the PC list, but it is worth noting that Disco Elysium achieved the best average compared to all other productions.
