Sorry, Valve, however evidently you are not the highest canine by yourself storefront anymore, no less than in terms of having the highest-rated sport on Steam anyway. For an extended whereas Portal 2 has gone unchallenged in its top-rated spot on Steam, however as tracked by Steam Top 250, none aside from Stardew Valley has moved above it. Thoughts, the distinction in ranking is kind of minimal, however nonetheless Eric “ConceredApe” Barone’s beloved farming sim is at present the highest-rated sport on Steam.
It is in all probability price noting that Steam Prime 250 explains that the scores assigned to every sport are based mostly on two issues: variety of votes, and the approval ranking, i.e. share, of constructive votes. Stardew Valley has just below 900,000 votes, greater than double the quantity of votes that Portal 2 has, 436,665. The previous technically has a one % decrease rely of constructive votes in comparison with the latter, but it surely’s that ratio of constructive votes to general votes that has web Stardew Valley the highest spot.
Apparently, when trying on the high 10 highest-rated video games throughout Steam, most of them have been round for no less than a couple of years, if not quite a bit longer, like Hades, Vampire Survivors, Left 4 Lifeless 2, and the unique Portal. However Schedule 1 can also be there in ninth place, a sport that solely simply launched in early entry in March of this yr.
A massive new replace did arrive in Stardew Valley final yr, and whereas Barone hasn’t dominated out making a Stardew Valley 2 ultimately, proper now he is again to engaged on his follow-up Haunted Chocolatier. Final month he mentioned Haunted Chocolatier may have a much bigger world than Stardew Valley, and contemplating how way back it was introduced, you’ll be able to in all probability count on to proceed ready some time longer for it.
