>> best steam games of 2007 the full ranking

These are the best Steam games of 2007 — the releases of that year players still rate highest, years after the reviews stopped counting.

No launch-week scores, no hype: every position comes from head-to-head duels between two games in one player's library, and a game's percentage is the share of a typical library it beats. Years are the honest test, and this is what 2007 looks like once the dust has settled and only the games people still reach for are left standing.
