Valve’s own beloved sci-fi puzzle comedy Portal 2 has a user rating of 98% positive on Steam (opens in new tab). A handful of indie hits like A Short Hike, The Case of the Golden Idol, TOEM, and Frog Detective 3 go as high as 99% positive. About to join their number, with a rating of 98% positive trending up to 99% in the last 30 days, is Placid Plastic Duck Simulator (opens in new tab).
If you haven’t heard of Placid Plastic Duck Simulator, you’re not alone. Despite accumulating over 3,500 glowing write-ups (opens in new tab) on Steam, this game about watching ducks float hasn’t exactly made waves. (I’m sorry.) That said, over 1,000 people are following it on Twitch (opens in new tab), and a video by Irish streamer RTGame (opens in new tab) where he spends 15 minutes watching it while saying things like, « Fuckin’ riveting gameplay, » has over 764,000 views
It really is just a game about watching ducks.
