Predicting The Metacritic Scores For 2016's Biggest Video Games

1. South Park: The Fractured But Whole (87)

And here you have it: the best-reviewed AAA title to hit stores for the remainder of the year will be South Park: The Fractured But Whole. Anyone who's seen the hilarious E3 gameplay footage will be aware that the game is going to outrageously poke fun at superhero movies, while gameplay will feature a number of much-requested refinements.

Riffing on the comic book movie is simply a lot more current and interesting than the first game's (admittedly superb) skewering of RPGs, and the fact that the game features enhanced combat and movement should give things a little more depth (which was most critics' primary complaint about the original).

The Stick of Truth racked up an impressive 82-85 upon release, and this'll be a rare sequel that actually outdoes what came before, ending up with one of the highest scores of the entire year.
