In the process of scrapping I discovered that a few hundred of the games that used to have zero reviews don't exist anymore (or at least, not on Steam), I also discovered there are a handful of companies generating dozens of those hidden-objects games using generative AI for their images, a bit shady if you ask me. I also discovered 24 that are selling for $50 or more, I created a URL just for that in case you are curious: https://www.gameswithnoreviews.com/?show_expensive_games_onl...
To confirm that the reviews count is still zero (since the data was scraped) and to fetch the trailer videos' URLs among other info I did scrape the Steam store page of each game (yeah I'm hotlinking the videos but I don't think Akamai/Steam minds too much). All NSFW games have been pruned.
Be aware you can filter by tag and by price, also be aware Steam allows you to ask for a refund as long as you have less than 2 hours playing it (but don't ask for refund if you had fun or completed the game, that's not nice)
Any feedback or questions I am more than happy to answer.
The author created a website to explore 2222 Steam games with zero reviews, using a Kaggle dataset and scraping Steam store pages, and invites feedback on the project.
