"Sega's average Metascore (including games published under the label of its Atlus subsidiary) was actually a fraction of a point below that of our number two publisher, Annapurna, but Sega was boosted into the top slot by virtue of having two stellar 2020 games - though both (including Metacritic's 2020 Game of the Year, Persona 5 Royal) were ports of previously existing titles to new platforms." For the full run down, head on over to Metacritic (thanks, PCGN). Metacritic was forced to implement a 36-hour delay to its user-written video game reviews last year in an attempt "to ensure [its] gamers have time to play games before writing their reviews". Metacritic reportedly confirmed the policy change wasn't implemented because of any one specific game but was instead "based on data-driven research and with the input of critics and industry experts".
