Most distinctive niche

(?)

Among all this game's genres, this is the one where players have the most distinctive taste — they rate games very differently from the average Steam gamer, suggesting a more passionate, selective community. It's not about what the game is most tagged as — it's about which of its communities has the most opinionated audience.
