Top 250 highly rated Steam games that few know but many love.

This ranking favours games with a high approval rating. Games ranked at the top will typically have an approval rating as close to 100% as possible, but the score is negatively affected by the number of reviews: once a game becomes too popular, its high review count will eventually sink it off the list. However, when a game maintains a high approval rating during its growth, it typically reappears on another ranking such as the Steam Top 250, before the decay starts.

Visual novels have their own ranking called Hidden Novels.

Club 250 is the Steam 250 member's club, aggregating all 125 million reviews on Steam to produce full ranking history for each game.

Joining Club 250 grants access to more features including our popular Custom Ranking tool, historical charting, automatically marking owned Steam games in rankings, game owners and sales estimates based on GDC research data, ad-free browsing and more. Check out our membership tiers for the full breakdown.

Apprentice tier grants access to most features for just £2 (billed in your local currency on sign up). Membership is a Patreon subscription service, but the subscription may be cancelled at any time, even immediately, and you will still enjoy the full term of membership. A free trial is also available by linking a free Patreon account and clicking the button on your profile page.
