Switch 2's Zelda Dethrones Expedition 33 as 2025's Top-Rated Game
TL;DR Summary
The article argues that the Nintendo Switch 2 edition of The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, which is mainly a graphical upgrade of an existing game, should not be considered a true top scorer on Metacritic, especially given its low number of reviews and the fact that it is not a new game release. The author contends that this re-release does not deserve to surpass other major titles like Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, which has more reviews and is a genuine new release.
