SUPER MARIO 3D WORLD METACRITIC FULL

If we evaluate Mario main series games since 1997, that allow full 3D movement, Nintendo has released six titles: Super Mario 64, Super Mario Sunshine, Super Mario Galaxy, Super Mario Galaxy 2, Super Mario 3D World and Super Mario Odyssey. Five of those titles scored 95+ and made this list and the only one that didn't, Skyward Sword, scored a 93. The Zelda series, excluding handhelds, has only produced 6 titles in the last 25 years. Let's analyze Nintendo's results a bit further, though. Six series received honorable mention with two titles each, namely Gran Turismo, Half Life, Halo, Metal Gear, Red Redemption and Tony Hawk.ДЄ few interesting observations here: 1/ as amazing as it is that only 9 series have produced multiple 95+ titles, two companies have two series each with multiple titles each on the list: Nintendo (Zelda and Mario), and Rockstar (Grand Theft Auto, Red Dead Redemption), 2/ Kudos to Rockstar for placing 5 of their 7 Grand Theft Auto titles on this list, as well as both Red Redemption titles, and 3/ Valve for placing both main-line Half-Life titles. The Bronze goes to Super Mario, with 3 titles. The tie for the gold medal does to the Grand Theft Auto and Legend of Zelda series, with 5 titles each. The earliest to qualify is GoldenEye 007 (August 1997, Nintendo 64) and the most recent is Persona 5 Royal (March 2020, Playstation 4).

Let's start with the raw list of titles that meet this criteria. My two ground rules, as with my past analysis, are 1/ I do not include Mobile (not enough reviews on most titles), 2/ I only include a title if it is the first release of the game (no 'collections' or remasters, unless it is truly a new game I gave a pass to Persona 5 Royal on judgment because it was positioned as a new, standalone game) At your request, here is that deep-dive, with multiple sub-cuts of all the characteristics and trends we can mine. I received much constructive feedback from the LinkedIn community and colleagues, including a request to go back much further and look at the most legendary of games (Metacritic rating of 95+) over the widest possible timespan of 1997-2021 (gameplay ratings don't start in Metacritic until August 1997 because there is not enough systematically gatherable information before then). Friends, a few weeks ago I posted a Metacritic analysis of the some of the top video games over the last decade.
