Shooter (Steam): who's winning player sentiment right now?
Same lens on every title so the numbers actually compare. Higher score means happier players (10 = best, 0 = worst). Each card reads left to right across the last three versions.
Happiest players: Counter-Strike 2 leads Shooter (Steam) at 7.8/10. Needs the most love: Helldivers 2 at 6.4/10, mostly nerf backlash and crashes.
