Best Games, Movies and Series of 2020 According to Metacritic Users

Metacritic users have chosen the best games, movies and shows of 2020. There were no surprises in the most important category - The Last of Us: Part II wrecked the competition.

IN A NUTSHELL:
  1. Metacritic, in addition to listing the best games of 2020 according to the critics, has also prepared a list arranged by user voting.
  2. The Last of Us: Part II won, besting Ghost of Tsushima and Cyberpunk 2077.

After yesterday's top games of 2020, Metacritic prepared a list of the best games, movies, shows and music in the eyes of its users. 2800 users were asked to take part in the survey, who could cast five votes in each category. The selected titles in first place received five points, losing their weight to one for last, fifth place.

Let me skip the selection of the best records of 2020 and go straight to video games. The list selected by users differs significantly from the one arranged by average scores of professional reviews. The Last of Us: Part II outclassed the competition here, collecting as many as five times more votes than the next title on the list - Ghost of Tsushima. The podium closes with Cyberpunk 2077.
