2025 has been a shockingly great year for games, but as we at PC Gamer began work on our GOTY list, we realized that a lot of us hadn't enjoyed the same great games. My tastes as a PC gamer tend toward the crusty and obscure, and I always want to celebrate the games whose number of Steam reviews are only in the triple (or even double) digits.
