Okay, okay, I know what you think, but check it out, found it randomly by checking something today and it actually looks interesting.

Not sure if we're looking at the same list, most of the games I've seen around position 1000-2000-3000 have less than 100 reviews and not even 10k players.

Well there's 16.000+ games on steam. Looking through 2000 of them in a nice list is better then checking "what's new" on steam :))

It would be cool if it showed actually rare or not well-known games, but there are just all indie games and classics... good concept, bad execution. 'Hidden gems' due to this site: Fallout, Deus Ex GOTY, Call of Juarez, HALF-LIFE(!!!!)?? List should contain only 'gems' not every game on steam, ranked from least known

Anyway in a topic I can recommend myself Has-Been Heroes, very underrated game, so fun and addicting, well made and creative rogue-like

So called "hidden gems" existed earlier, but not anymore. The community finds everything worthwhile very quickly. If something seems good but not too popular, it means something is wrong with the game. And if you play enough time, not 30 minutes, but 2-3 hours, you'll find out that the game is actually mediocre, broken, unfinished, unoriginal, e.t.c.

I think it's attempting to rank the entire Steam catalogue, so that's why there are over 12k items. You'd reasonably want to stop somewhere along the upper region, but the entire list is included just for the sake of it.

lol yes.
If this is proving something, it's that it will be impossible to compile such list, either automatically or manually, also because what someone considers a gem might be the complete opposite for someone else.
It managed to waste the author's and the readers time in the same way, though.

Jeez, Full Throttle is considered to be a "hidden gem", kids these days... Also how are Night in the Woods or What Remains of Edith Finch "hidden"?

Reading further. Divinity: Original Sin 2. Yep, totally hidden.

Well, here's another useless list, just for fun -- I figure this thread's as good as any a place to put it. This one was composed manually. It's a list of games that a bunch of long-time players don't own. I can't claim any of these to be actual gems since I haven't played them myself, so let the buyer beware. If even one person finds something they happen to like and didn't know about, I'd already consider it a success. :-)
