While we don’t believe that Metacritic should always be taken as an absolute, it’s worth noting that Odyssey is currently sitting at 97 on the site – the same score Breath of the Wild ended on.
One thing is for sure though, Nintendo has made a spectacular resurgence this year. What a year for games…
