Can you guess which game has more reviews?
Two real Steam games, matched by genre. Pick the one that collected more reviews and keep going, one wrong call ends the run. Details below.
What is this?
Two real Steam games at a time. You see a screenshot, the tags, the blurb and who published each one, and pick the game that collected more reviews. Keep going and the run continues; one wrong call ends it. It is free, needs no account, and takes about a minute.
Where do the numbers come from?
Every number is Steam’s own public review count. Of 122,848 games released in the last ten years, 43% never reached ten reviews, the median sits at 14, and nine in ten stayed below 388.
How are the pairs chosen?
Both games share a genre tag, both are self-published or both have a publisher, and their review counts differ by between 1.5 and 25 times. Six naive strategies (pick the older one, the newer one, the one with more tags, the longer blurb, the shorter name, the left card) were measured on 800 pairs, and none of them beats a coin flip.
Data as of . Every number comes from Steam’s own public surfaces or is computed from them; definitions are in Metrics.
