2024 Alternative Top 25 (formerly 100)
Recommendations by Denk(Created 03-Feb-2024) This is a snapshot of the 25 games on IFDB with the highest average star rating, though excluding games with less than 5 ratings. The purpose is to allow for games with few ratings so people can check out the less known games with high average ratings. Five of the games were published in 2023.
This is the third edition. Previous editions (2020 and 2023) were Top 100 but I decided that Top 25 is enough going forward.
