Hidden gems players rate highly | Steam review analysis (updated Oct 2026)

Of the 110 Steam games analyzed by TrueGG, this page lists games with fewer reviews than the median of listed games (333,339) and a TrueGG Rating of 90% or more, highest first (33 games). The TrueGG Rating is the share of positive reviews among players who had played past each game's "played line" when they wrote their review, normally from the last 180 days. Data as of 2026-10-14. Methodology

Games that players who stuck with them rate very highly, but that have relatively few reviews. “Hidden” here means below the median review count among the games TrueGG analyzes.

They are ordered by TrueGG Rating, the rating among players who played a fair amount, so a handful of quick first-impression reviews does not move them much. As more games are added to the analysis, lesser-known titles will start to appear here.
