Terraria breaks record as the most positively reviewed game on Steam

Terraria is a quiet titan, with the game having sold over 44 million copies since its launch back in 2011. With so many sales comes a lot of opinions. Fortunately for the game, consensus is overwhelmingly positive to this day, with Terraria now breaking a major Steam record.

As discovered by Twitter user ‘Demize’, “Terraria is now the first game on Steam with over 1 million reviews while keeping its Overwhelmingly Positive status! (97% positive).”

For context, there exists a number of games with far more than 1 million reviews, and likewise there exists a number of games with a more positive reception, but Terraria is the only one with over a million reviews while maintaining its status with an overwhelmingly positive review consensus.

Games such as CS:GO, Dota 2, GTA V and PUBG: Battlegrounds all have over one million reviews (with CS:GO impressively featuring over 6 and a half million ratings), but none of them have been able to maintain an ‘overwhlemingly positive’ reception, with the likes of PUBG sitting at a relatively low ‘56% positive’.

Terraria managing to maintain such a high rating while not only selling so many copies, but also doing so over the course of a decade is impressive indeed. With the devs continuing to add new free content to the game, it is safe to say that Terrarria’s reviews will not be going down.

KitGuru Games: DLSS 5 misses the point

It would be hard to argue that NVIDIA’s DLSS technologies haven’t been a net positive to the PC space, with the machine-learning based upscaler successfully translating lower resolution inputs into a final image which is perceivably sharper while hogging fewer resources. Though somewhat more contentious, the next evolution of DLSS came in the form of Frame Generation, using ML in order to generate additional frames for high-refresh rate gaming. Both techniques can have their issues, but generally speaking they’ve allowed for more people to experience higher-end titles at increased frame rates. DLSS 5, however, takes a sharp pivot, with a very different end goal in mind than the performance-boosting versions that came before.
