40 games carry the tag · 1 released in the last 12 months (vs 12 the year before) · median price $9.99
Not enough estimated games in this niche for an honest verdict yet — a median under the coverage floor would be a lie with confidence. The counted facts below stand on their own.
Aggregated over 1,977 stored reviews from 38 games.
Reviews are shown as published on Steam, including reviews from key activations and free copies — so percentages here can differ from the score on the Steam store page. GameTrend does not check whether reviewers bought or played the game.
The top 5 games hold 78% of the niche's 13,507 reviews; it takes 6 games to reach 80%. Fewer games to 80% means a harder niche to be seen in.
