A gap: under half the games of an average band, reaching 500 reviews at least 1.5 times as often as the group. Higher prices usually mean bigger games, so a gap shows where fewer games compete, not that a higher price earns more reviews.

Show all 305 tags

How this is scored. The cohort is every Steam game released one to thirteen months ago, so each has had at least a month on sale. A game counts as a hit at 500 Steam reviews; reviews stand in for sales, they are not sales. Demand ranks each tag's hit rate against every other tag, after steadying it as if the tag also had 50 average games, so a small tag's lucky streak doesn't outrank a large tag's real record; crowding ranks how many games carry it (released plus announced for the next 26 weeks), and opportunity is demand × (1 − crowding ÷ 100). Tags with fewer than 40 released games are not ranked.
