Tag Polarization

41,482 Steam games (>=50 reviews, score known) plotted across 40 tags. Each dot is a game; horizontal position is its review-percentage; size is log review count. Tags are ordered top-to-bottom by score standard deviation — the most-polarized tags float to the top, where bimodal "loved-and-hated" tags appear as two visible clumps. Color is each game's distance from its tag's median: teal below, magenta above. Hover any dot for the game.
