We'd love to hear what you think of this approach. This year, in almost all cases, editors chose to promote games that fell outside of voting into the bottom section of the list. This is why games aren't all in Top 100 Score order, but in each case we've noted which writer was responsible for the change. If the majority voted in favour, then their suggestion was ratified. The writer had to make their case in front of the entire PC Gamer team, who then voted on the strength of that argument. You're welcome, Doom from 2016.įor the final step, every writer was given the opportunity to pitch for one change to the list-either promoting a game higher, or demoting it lower.
In cases where they weren't, we removed the lower scoring game. This year, we made a judgement call on whether games in the same series felt different enough from each other to be worth including. Historically we've chosen to only include one game per series in the list. Then we made some additional adjustments. Once the Top 100 Score for all games had been calculated, we ordered the list from highest to lowest.
