How this list is ranked: IGDB player ratings, weighted by how many people rated each game (a Bayesian average with a prior of 100 ratings), so a game with a handful of perfect scores doesn't outrank a classic rated by thousands. Only games with at least 10 ratings; editions and re-releases are folded into the original. Numbers shown are the raw average rating (0–100) and the rating count.
