Top 250 Video Games of All Time
Games ranked according to data I found across IMDb, Metacritic, HowLongToBeat, and GameFAQs. Minimum of 300 ratings required for an IMDb/Metacritic entry, 250 ratings for the other sites. DLC is allowed as long as it feels like it's own experience that separates itself from the main game. Only 1 version/port of a game (unless its a remake or an expansion pack). A lot of results have been modified because of review bombings and non-gradual rating changings. ...and there's also missing dlc entries...
