187 reviews
A beautiful, genuinely novel pirate sandbox whose reviews split almost entirely on one axis — whether you can tolerate its unrestricted PvP and the community built around it — plus a real, press-covered 2026 community-safety controversy worth knowing about before you buy.
6.5 / 10
A budget-priced, GUI-driven text adventure about a writer and his blind father moving into a small town with a Twin Peaks-shaped secret — long on atmosphere and prose, short on how much your choices actually change.
6.5 / 10
A visually breathtaking sci-fi puzzle-platformer from ex-Playdead developers whose gorgeous atmosphere and sound design are undercut by controls and collision detection a large share of its own reviewers call janky, measured constantly against the Inside and Limbo pedigree its creators can't escape.
6.5 / 10
Massive Monster's debut -- a Flash-game-turned-commercial platformer about a boy, his pet rock and a giraffe with a helicopter tongue -- is Very Positive on Steam, but the studio's own next game, Cult of the Lamb, became the actual hit; eight years of reviews explain the gap with one word repeated more than any other: repetitive.
6.5 / 10
A solo Finnish developer's family-friendly storybook RPG released on Steam yesterday — gentle turn-based dice combat, gnomes and fire foxes to free, a garden to tend, and a documented ascension from folk tale to playable systems — reviewed on launch-day evidence, with an achievement spread that resolves to roughly three reporting accounts.
6.5 / 10
A choice-driven interactive fiction RPG told entirely through the pages of a turning book, following Karl von Aiden across five chapters, three routes and six ways to die — from a Chinese solo-scale studio, with AI-assisted CG art and full dual-language narration, and so far a launch nobody has reviewed.
6.5 / 10
A star-studded branching horror anthology from the Until Dawn team that splits its own reviewers on story quality and delivers far less mechanical agency than its "your choices matter" framing implies, launched alongside a broken multiplayer promise and now caught up in the same 2K Terms of Service controversy documented independently on the publisher's other 2022 release.
6.5 / 10
A solo-developed love letter to Skyrim, West of Loathing and Supraland that reviewers consistently say nails its first two hours — and just as consistently say runs out of ideas, and occasionally soft-locks, well before the credits.
6.5 / 10
A budget first-person stealth horror game that drops a lone archaeologist into a Mayan tomb full of patrolling "Guardians," built on a demo that spent over a year gathering feedback before the ten-level full release launched with no user reviews yet to check it against.
6.5 / 10
A genuinely addictive choose-your-own-adventure-style permadeath RPG ported from mobile, let down by a corroborated late-game softlock bug, rough mobile-port controls, and a store-page "constant updates" claim this review's own check found doesn't hold up.
6.2 / 10
An award-nominated interactive drama whose rotoscope-style presentation and first-half storytelling drew real critical acclaim, undercut by a store description promising a thirty-year saga that ends on an unresolved cliffhanger its developer has said nothing publicly about continuing in more than three years.
6 / 10
An absurdist, story-first adventure from the cult studio behind Priest Simulator, whose devoted fans love its surreal comedy — but whose "simulation" store tags mislead buyers expecting real brewing-economy depth, and whose UI still lacks basic accessibility options years on.
6 / 10
A charming, Zelda-inspired tower-defense dungeon crawler whose limited number of active turrets and shallow upgrade tree left the Kickstarter backers who waited years for it recommending it only reluctantly, if at all.
6 / 10
A first-person precision platformer that repackages the free Source-engine movement scene — surf, bhop and climb, born in Half-Life and Counter-Strike 1.6 mods — as a standalone Steam release with themed maps, Steam Achievements and leaderboards to chase. Released 6 August 2026 with no user-review corpus yet to weigh it against.
6 / 10
A free browser idle-skilling MMO that openly plays the RuneScape/Melvor Idle songbook with a shared world bolted on -- competent, fair to free players, and over a year into development by the time its Steam Early Access page makes it look brand new.
6 / 10
A ground-up Unreal Engine 5 remake bundling both original Layers of Fear games, their DLC and new connective content into one package — whose own returning fans keep saying the same thing, backed by a real, measurable gap: the 2016 original still holds Very Positive 88.4% on Steam against this remake's Mostly Positive 79.0%.
6 / 10
A gorgeous, fan-service-heavy turn-based JRPG that repeatedly draws the same reaction from its own most devoted audience — "I really wanted to like this" — before describing combat so easy it can be won by mashing one button, and pacing padded with backtracking through the same small areas.
6 / 10
A budget one-on-one arena brawler that leans hard into a "classic 90s fighting" pitch, published by a company built on reviving old and obscure game libraries, on a Steam page with no user reviews, no press coverage and no achievement data yet to check it against.
6 / 10
A free, solo-developed idle roguelike that spent a full year in Early Access before its 9 May 2025 1.0 exit — Mixed at 64% lifetime across a small but genuinely long-playing corpus, whose own most-invested critics (one at over 4,700 hours) describe a game whose systems, especially crafting, arrive far too slowly for how much waiting it asks of you.
6 / 10
A free top-down horror game about escaping a bar full of monsters across five linear, differently-themed levels, from a two-person team on their apparent first published release — with a storefront listing that discloses nothing to buy.
6 / 10
An H.R. Giger-inspired biomechanical nightmare eight years in the making, whose extraordinary art direction is praised almost unanimously by the same review base that overwhelmingly describes the actual game underneath it as short, clunky and built on a store description its own most-upvoted review calls factually false.
6 / 10
A genuinely clever, Tim Burton-esque co-op puzzle-platformer that both sides of its review sample agree only really works with a second player — solo mode, camera clarity, and general polish all draw the same specific, repeated complaints over a decade after release.
6 / 10
Ubisoft's first open-world Star Wars game delivers genuinely praised atmosphere and world-building as scoundrel Kay Vess, undercut by a real, consistently repeated "Ubisoft formula fatigue" complaint about an empty, on-rails open world, a specific, reproducible manual cloud-save failure that has cost multiple reviewers dozens of hours of progress, and a patch cadence that this review can confirm effectively stopped in mid-2025 even as bug reports continued well into 2026.
6 / 10
A dash-focused pixel-art action roguelite that turns evasion itself into offense, drawing inevitable comparisons to Wizard of Legend that its own review base says it doesn't survive, compounded by thin content and a developer who appears to have stopped patching two months after launch.
