Hidden Gems Under $10
Cheap and very good, with the famous ones deliberately left out.
Vampire Survivors and Terraria are not here, and that is the whole design. The filter is ten dollars or less, a BANG of 80 or better, and an owner estimate at or under two million. Drop that last clause and the list is 986 games instead of 805. The famous ones are great. They are also games you have heard about forty times already, and a list that recommends them is telling you nothing. The two million cap cuts 66 games for the crime of being famous.
More about this list
What is left leads with Hello Charlotte EP3: Childhood's End at 100, 4 hours and 3,532 reviews. Finding Paradise is 88.5 and lists at $9.99, and it will do something to you that a spreadsheet cannot explain. Gunpoint is 85.9 at a $9.99 list price, a spy puzzler from 2013 that runs 3 hours. Hexcells is 97 and lists at $2.99, and it is the one I have restarted most.
Two million is arbitrary. I picked it because it is roughly where a SteamSpy estimate stops reading as small and starts reading as mainstream, and those estimates are bucketed and rough at every level. The clause also silently drops the 115 games in this price and score range that have no owner estimate at all. That is a bug I have not fixed. If something you love is missing from here, that is the likeliest reason.
