Best Rated Games Under $40
The highest rated games under $40 on Steam. Scores are weighted by review volume, so a game can't ride a handful of glowing reviews to the top of this list.

Our score adjusts Steam's raw rating for sample size. The fewer reviews a game has, the more its score gets pulled toward the site-wide average, so a tiny game can't fluke its way to #1.
