Steam is in the business of selling games and sometimes that can mean a drop in quality in order to get more titles onto the Steam Store and available for purchase.Īt Allkeyshop, we believe in quality over quantity and because of that we use every bit of data that Steam offers and we use that to provide the most detailed analysis of a game’s ranking. Not all games reach their potential and get a release, unfortunately many games are left abandoned by their developers or are even released in a poor state and are yet still available to purchase on Steam. In the world of 2D Games, fantastic games can be found at incredible prices but you can also be at a greater risk of being left disappointed.

The recent success of Hollow Knight, a great example of a 2D game done right, is a testament to the love we have for 2D games. 2D games continue to thrive, even with modern graphics and the demand for more complex games. Fighting games such as Street Fighter, side-scrolling beat ‘em ups like Streets of Rage continue to be successful franchises in 2D. It’s not just platformers that can be traced back to these origins.

Over the years, 2D games developed into the more traditional platformers that we see today, mostly due to the great success of games such as Super Mario Bros and Super Mario All-Stars. The early 2D games would feature a set of challenges that, once completed, would change the screen or field, to the next, where often the player would repeat the process until they lose all their lives, and the game would end. With their limited graphics, 2D games found a place for themselves, and were often single-screen games, such as the 1980s Donkey Kong arcade game featuring Mario as “Jumpman”. In the early days of gaming 2D made sense with consoles having limited power compared to modern comparisons.
