How we rank this list

No editor picks this order. Each game gets a score from 0 to 100. The score counts what players say in their Steam reviews, the critic score when the game has one, how many players reviewed it, the GAMES.GG rating and how new the game is. When a game has no critic score or no GAMES.GG rating, that part counts at the middle value of the games on this list, or lower, so a missing part never raises a score. A game needs at least 2,000 Steam reviews to enter. We start from the games in the GAMES.GG catalog that fit the list: 107 games.
