Sony's PS4 exclusive "Uncharted 4: A Thief's End" has been crowned the best game of 2016 by reviews aggregator Metacritic with a Metascore of 93. That beat out three games that had a Metascore of 92: Inside on the Xbox One, Out of the Park Baseball 17 on PC and The Witcher 3, Wild Hunt and Blood and Wine on PC.

The title finished the year with a 93 percent review rating. That does make it the second lowest rated winning game of the last five years, however, ahead of 2014's Super Smash Bros, which scored 92 per cent, but behind 2015's Metal Gear Solid V which had 95 percent, 2013's Grand Theft Auto V with 97 percent and 2012's The Walking Dead gained 95 percent.

The average Metascore for all games on the PlayStation 4 in 2016 was 69.1, compaired with 69.8 on the Xbox One, 70.8 on PC, and 68.5 on Wii U. The site does note an ongoing lack of killer scoring software on next-gen consoles. Only six unique games actually scored 90 or more across the year, and even one of those was an expansion.

PS4 had six 90+ games, which was the highest total for any platform. However, PS4's average Metascore decreases from 70.5 percent last year to 69.1 percent. A lot more games were released for the machine which has 445, compared to 2015's 276. 13 exclusives scored 75 percent or more.

Xbox One had seven 90+ exclusive games in 2015 but this year managed only three. Its review average was also dropping from 70.4 percent to 69.8 percent. Only 44 Wii U games were released in 2016, down from 80 in 2015. None of them scored 90 percent or more.

Activision's "Ghostbusters" was the lowest rated game of the year, scoring 30 per cent on PS4. Others in the hall of shame included "Dino Dini's Kick Off Revival" and "Soda Drinker Pro" which only gained 31 percent.
