Ranked by players

Best Indie Games on Steam

The highest-rated indie games on Steam, ranked by review score adjusted for how many people reviewed them — so a perfect score from a handful of players doesn't beat a classic loved by hundreds of thousands.

How we rank: the rating is Steam's positive-review share pulled toward 50% for games with few reviews (the SteamDB formula), so it sits a little under the raw % Steam shows. Only games with 500+ reviews qualify.
