How this ranking works

Steam shows a review score for every game, but 100% positive from 40 reviews says much less than 97% from hundreds of thousands. We rank by a weighted rating: the share of positive reviews for each game is pulled towards the middle until it has enough reviews to stand on its own, so only games that a lot of players liked reach the top. This page includes games released in 2006 with at least 200 user reviews. It refreshes every hour.

Among games released in 2006, Garry's Mod, Half-Life 2: Episode One and FlatOut 2 lead the list. Every game in the top 51 is rated between 47.0% and 95.3% positive, and 2 are free to play.

Pick a year above to see the best games of a single release year, or browse the best games by genre. Every game links to its page with player count history, price history and the number of people playing right now. For games that are cheap right now, see Steam sales.

FAQ

What is the best rated Steam game of 2006?

Garry's Mod, with 95.3% positive reviews from 1,100,817 players.

How is the rating calculated?

From Steam user reviews. The score is pulled towards 50% for games with few reviews, so a game needs many happy players to rank high, not just a handful.

Why is a popular game missing?

Its reviews are lower than the games listed, it has fewer reviews than the minimum, or it is an adult only title, which we leave out.

How often is the list updated?

Every hour. Ratings and review counts come from Steam user reviews, and the player numbers in the table are live.

Can I see other years?

Yes. Pick any year from 2006 to 2026 above. Each year page ranks the games released that year with at least 200 user reviews.
