Terraria has become the first videogame on Steam with over 1 million reviews while maintaining its Overwhelmingly Positive status! (97% positive), as reported by Twitter user ‘Demize‘.
For comparison, a number of games have received more than 1 million reviews, and a similar number have received more positive reviews. However, Terraria is the only game to have amassed over 1 million reviews while maintaining its position as having an overwhelmingly good review consensus. All of the games with over one million reviews—including the extremely high number of over six and a half million for CS: GO—as well as Dota 2, GTA V, and PUBG: Battlegrounds have been unable to sustain an “overwhelmingly good” reaction.
Terraria Creates New Record
With over a million reviews and a 97% favorable rating on Steam, Terraria has undeniably captured the hearts of PC gamers.
Back in 2011, a strange two-dimensional game resembling Minecraft was released on PC, and it turns out that a lot of people really enjoy it. It is so popular that it has amassed one million Steam user reviews and still has an “overwhelmingly good” rating. It is the first game on Valve’s platform to accomplish this, so.
While Terraria’s creator Re-Logic is undoubtedly happy with the game’s success, this information comes from Twitter user demise, who provided a screenshot of the SteamDB website’s list of the top-rated games, which prominently featured Terraria. The screenshot reveals that the game currently has an overall rating of 97% with 978,864 good ratings and 21,444 negative ones.
It is quite remarkable that Terraria has been able to maintain such a high rating while not only selling a significant number of copies but also doing so for a decade. Terrarria’s reviews will not be declining as long as the developers keep adding fresh, free content to the game.
