>> best 2D games on steam · the full ranking

These are the best 2D games on Steam, as voted by our community.

Nobody wrote a review to land on this list. Players duelled 2D games out of their own libraries against each other, and a game's percentage is the share of a typical library it beats — so the top of this ranking is what 2D fans genuinely keep coming back to.
