How many review does it take for your game to be in the top 1% of steam
I was wondering how many review does a game need to have to be in the top 1% , 10% 50% etc. With so many game that stay unnoticed, how low could it be. Google wasn't helpful and only recommend me post about review to estimate sale which isn't what I want

I'm pretty sure it's not so much reviews rather than sales that can boost something.

school school school..........
It is percentage towards sales.....

You need to get positive reviews toward amount games sold and that are positive on game.

1-100 ammount is 1 is 1% to 100 is 100%
1-300 ammount is 3 is 1% and 300 is 100%

i think you dont understand.

In what percentile would a game with 10k review be, don't care if its positive or negative. how many game have more than 10k review? If a game has 10k review, is it in the top 5% of the most reviewed game on steam?

It's not the number of reviews, but the number of sales (or downloads if your game is Free to Play).

I dont believe Steam has a way of filtering a game by percentage on number of reviews. You would need to go to a third party tracking site like this one:

There are games with hundreds of thousands of reviews. 10k isn't that much.

Dota 2, for example, has over 2 million reviews.

You will have to do the legwork and math. There is no site with all the numbers.

Total number of reviews for all games divided by number of games. Extra work needed if you wish to exclude DLC.

So there is no simple answer or easy way to find out.

Not really sure what you want such a number for as games are not found by sorting by number of reviews, but percentage of recommendations from those reviews.

I wish you luck.

Reviews & Game Sales don't matter

What matters is how long you can sustain a high level of Players for...

If you can hold off 10,000 Players for Months

You should be in the Top 1%, but should you
only hold that number for like 3 Days, & then
your Player Base dwindles down to more like
1,000 to 300 Players???

Chances are that you are not in the 1%...

10,000 was just an Example... I'm not sure
what the actual number is...


Dynasty Warriors 9, was one of the best Games
to come out for a few Years, because it had a
very solid Game, to worked well, & executed
a really good Visually Stunning piece of art...
They even fixed the problems with the Game
right away, instead of waiting till later like some
other Companies... But Dynasty Warriors 9
had such horrible Reviews right before their
first Update, many People hated the Game,
but again the Game got fixed, & it's weird
that Reviews didn't reflect on that...

But it was a great Game & I still play it Today,
I mean I do so Offline that is... oO

Nope, that's mostly irrelevant.

You get money from selling games, NOT from people playing them.

Sure, people actually playing the game will help as it usually leads to positive reviews/press coverage which helps with the sales; it's even a requirement for multiplayer games.

In other words: the publisher got the same money, whether I finish a game with thumb-up, or dump it into the trashcan with a thumb-down after a short time.
