187 Adventure games reviewed and scored, best first.
187 reviews
A charming, faithful How to Train Your Dragon spin-off with genuinely well-liked art and music, undercut by a near-universal complaint from both sides of its review sample — a 3-to-8-hour runtime that reviewers say doesn't match its original full price — plus real accessibility gaps like no control remapping.
5 / 10
A tiny, stark, art-forward interactive short story from the makers of Milk Inside a Bag of Milk Inside a Bag of Milk, held back almost entirely by one specific, near-universally criticised element — its English voice acting — rather than its atmosphere or premise.
5 / 10
A free four-day preview of Stones Games' inspection-sim-meets-zombie-shooter, released a week after the paid full game it advertises, and dogged by the same lag and AI-voiceover complaints — plus a Steam community that keeps naming the much bigger game it resembles.
5 / 10
An isekai visual novel that drops a factory worker into a stranger, gentler version of his own workplace — 18 months into Early Access with the same three days of story it launched with, and its own developer now flagged by Steam as gone quiet.
5 / 10
A free-to-play "idle fishing arcade" whose own promotional screenshots sell chest loot for real money on the Steam Community Market — Mixed across 1,612 reviews, with the community's own vote-weighted tags ranking "Casual" and "Trading" well above "Idler."
4.8 / 10
A janky, confusing Chinese indie horror game that's become a genuine cult favourite for co-op streaming with friends, undercut by real translation and puzzle-design problems reviewers say make it genuinely difficult to finish without outside guides.
4.6 / 10
A prettily illustrated but extremely short visual novel mystery, undercut by an obvious, spoon-fed whodunnit, repetitive dialogue-loop gameplay, and text riddled with editing errors that a decade of silence has never fixed.
4.5 / 10
A solo developer's debut point-and-click, built in open homage to the LucasArts era — charming in its music and its sincerity, undone by a flat voice cast, a clumsy inventory and a runtime some players clock at well under an hour.
4.5 / 10
A post-apocalyptic reskin of developer FreeMind's own hit Farmer's Life, swapping the horse and hand-sown fields for a legged robotic tractor and a seed-drone, and landing at a Mixed rating with its harshest reviews arriving in the week it left Early Access rather than the months before.
4.5 / 10
A NZ$2.69 boat-and-auction idle tycoon whose "Mixed" Steam rating is mostly a fossil record of its 17-month Early Access run — and whose core complaint, that the whole game empties out inside two hours with nothing built to replace it, still checks out against the game's own achievement data today.
4.5 / 10
A story-driven sci-fi Memory-game adventure — flip cards to find matching pairs, battle enemies and stranded astronauts with them — filed under "Massively Multiplayer" on Steam despite a single-player campaign, a PvP mode still labelled Beta on its own store page, zero user reviews and zero concurrent players at the time this was checked.
4.5 / 10
A deliberately absurd, meme-heavy point-and-click adventure set in a Soviet bunker, split sharply between reviewers who find its humour genuinely funny and a larger group who find it grating — compounded by illogical puzzle design and bugs the developer stopped patching in early 2016.
3.9 / 10
A genuinely creative premise — a cat solving its owner's 1950s NYC murder — undone by a camera bug so severe and so consistently described the same way by independent reviewers that it reads less like a rough edge than a fundamental, never-patched flaw.
3.8 / 10
A solo developer's big swing at a character-action game — combo routes, a fury-meter super mode and 10-15 hours of heavy-metal cinematics — sold alongside 34 separate paid DLC listings, including a premium currency duplicated across five near-identical SKUs per tier.
3.7 / 10
A cheap first-person horror game with a couple of genuinely effective jump scares, sunk by a punishing, checkpoint-free trial-and-error structure and widely repeated accusations of being an asset-flip built from stock assets rather than an original production.
3.7 / 10
A cheap fantasy-themed clicker from Leakage Games that can be fully completed in a handful of hours, undermined by a genre-breaking design choice — no progress at all while the window isn't in focus.
3 / 10
A budget dungeon crawler whose store page promises "endless procedurally generated dungeons," while every reviewer who has actually bought it describes roughly four fixed rooms, a death bug, and no way to quit the game without closing it through Windows.
3 / 10
A generically titled creature-collector RPG whose own Steam DLC catalogue verifies a pay-to-win structure — pre-leveled Legendary monsters and permanent EXP boosters sold separately on top of a NZ$21.99 base price — reviewed on an almost nonexistent early audience whose own achievement data shows essentially no one progressing past the tutorial.
3 / 10
A full-price stealth-platformer built around Middle-earth's most compelling supporting character that arrived so technically broken it became a byword for launch disasters — its Steam player count hit zero within five months, and the studio that made it closed its development arm weeks after release.
