The three highest rated games of 2023, according to Metacritic, are not just Nintendo Switch games, but Nintendo Switch exclusives. All three games can only be played by those who own either a Nintendo Switch, a Nintendo Switch Lite, or a Nintendo Switch OLED. The top dog of these three games is The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom. The second place of these games is Metroid Prime Remastered with a 94 on Metacritic. Neither of these two games being at the top of the Metacritic 2023 chart surprises anyone. What’s surprising is that the third highest rated game of 2023 is Jack Jeanne, which also, at the moment of writing this, has a 94 on Metacritic.

Competition at the school is fierce and the rivalry is real! Will Kisa be able to forge powerful bonds with her all-male classmates while competing against them for key roles? Will she be cast in the lead role in the final performance at the end of the year all while keeping her secret?”
