Stray has been the highest user-rated game on Steam this year, according to a weighted list.
Steam250 gives Steam games a score that is determined by whether players gave them positive or negative reviews, combined with how many players reviewed them.
Stray’s current score is 8.61 – based on 42,665 votes of which 98% are positive – making it top of the list of all games released in 2022 to date (as seen by Skill Up).
This pushed God of War to second, with a score of 8.56 (based on 53,101 votes of which 97% were positive).
Despite the impressive feat, Stray still has a long way to go before it tops the Steam250 all-time chart, where it currently sits at number 49.
The top game of all time is Portal 2, which has a rating of 8.83 (based on 301,930 votes, 99% of which are positive), followed by Terraria, Stardew Valley, Hades, and People Playground.
eFootball 2022, previously the lowest user-rated game of all time according to Steam250, has managed to get out of its ominous position after a series of updates that improved the game.
It’s now ‘only’ the tenth worst user-rated game ever, behind the likes of Godus, Rollercoaster Tycoon World, Flatout 3 and the new ‘bottom’ entry, War of the Three Kingdoms.
Stray broke Annapurna’s record for concurrent Steam players when it released earlier this month, peaking at over 62,000 players.
The Stray VGC review calls it one of Annapurna’s best releases to date.
It concludes: “Stray is a masterclass in environmental design, with one of the most detailed game worlds we’ve explored. Like the protagonist it’s a little on the short side, but what’s here will stay with you for a long time. Important.”
