PC Gamer's highest review scores of 2024

On the one hand, "score inflation" is a real concern we discuss. We think a game should have to be really special to receive a 90%, so when we start talking about a 94% or a 95%, the game in question ought to make us feel like the guy in the galaxy brain meme with light beams shooting out of his head. As a group, we've still never awarded a score higher than 98%, and the pages of PC Gamer's UK edition have yet to see a score above 97%, which was only given last year to Baldur's Gate 3. PC Gamer is 30 years old.
