You could spend hours listing all the incredible games that have graced Valve's flagship storefront since its launch in 2003. Half-Life, The Witcher 3, Baldur's Gate 3 – the list goes on.
All good things must come to an end however, and Portal 2 has had to cede the crown to a new top dog, and it's hard to say it doesn't deserve it.
As of 9th July 2025, faming sim Stardew Valley has officially become the highest-rated game on Steam250, racking up a score of 8.87, narrowly overtaking Portal 2's 8.85.
Subsequent major updates adding swathes of new content and even multiplayer functionality have served to cement the game's reputation, racking up a 98 per cent positive rating on the store from more than 770 thousand reviews.
Progressing further down the list reads like a Who's Who of some of the biggest names in PC gaming history, with Terraria in third place, and the likes of Left 4 Dead 2, Vampire Survivors, Hades and Portal 1 all featuring in the top 10.
It should be noted that the way Steam250 calculates scores differs from Steam itself, which still lists ranks Portal 2 above Stardew Valley.
For that reason, we could one day see Terraria shoot to the top of the rankings, with the game currently sitting on 97 per cent positive ratings from an astounding 1.4 million reviews.
With Barone believing the game to now be complete, he has moved on to focus his attentions on his next project, Haunted Chocolatier.
But while official support for the game has come to an end, the prevalence of mods is sure to keep the game's impassioned fanbase satisfied for years to come.
