Vampire Survivors has reached 200,000 positive reviews on Steam, making it the third-highest-rated game on the platform. But which games beat it out?
Steam gamers can be hard to please, so any game that garners this much praise has something going for it. Vampire Survivors was released in October 2022 and became an instant hit due to its unique auto-attacking gameplay and deep progression system. Since then, developer Poncle has released two pieces of DLC, which expanded the gameplay further. It’s been such a success that it ushered in a wave of auto-attack survival games and generated a whole subgenre of video games.
Vampire Survivors is celebrating another milestone that many games can only dream of achieving. The game continues to enjoy strong player counts on Steam and widespread praise.

What are the best games on Steam?
Portal 2, People Playground, and Vampire Survivors are rated as the best games on Steam according to user reviews.
Though Terraria has the most reviews of any game on Steam and enjoys enormous critical acclaim, it doesn’t have the best ratio of positive to negative reviews.

Other games that enjoy similarly high ratings include Hades, Rimworld, and Half-Life: Alyx.
Vampire Survivors wasn’t the first auto-attacking Roguelike game, but it brought the genre into the limelight. The smooth gameplay, deep progression system, and old-school graphics made gamers fall in love with the game.
The game jumped to the fore thanks to a combination of several key factors. Vampire Survivors has a very low price tag of just $5 before any sales. It has also been consistently rated as one of the best games to play on the Steam Deck, a platform that it rose to prominence alongside.
