The Best Games of 2017 So Far, According to Metacritic

Mario Kart 8 Deluxe – Metacritic Score: 93

Whenever a new Mario Kart game is released, it’s almost guaranteed to emerge as one of the highest rated games of its time. Mario Kart has a formula that has been proven to work time and time again with characters that have been loved for years. Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, however, takes things to a new level by actually introducing some new features. Mario Kart’s Battle Mode has gotten a major revamp, new items will add even more chaos to the race, and the overall performance has been improved when compared to the original Mario Kart 8. Mario Kart 8 Deluxe repackages an already wildly successful franchise and presents it in a way that feels new and exciting all over again.
