Video game rankings are systems used to evaluate and compare video games based on various criteria, such as gameplay, graphics, story, and user experience. These rankings can be found on websites, magazines, and gaming platforms, helping players decide which games to play or purchase. Different organizations and communities may have their own ranking methods, often influenced by user reviews and expert opinions. Popular ranking systems include Metacritic, which aggregates scores from critics and users, and IGN, known for its detailed game reviews. Rankings can change over time as new games are released and player preferences evolve.
