Amazon's classless action MMORPG still has the best weapon-swap combat and the most convincing large-scale siege war it has ever shipped. None of that is why this review exists — New World: Aeternum was delisted from every storefront on 15 January 2026 and the servers go dark for good on 31 January 2027. Reviewed with the extended Nighthaven season live.
6 / 10
MDickie's 3D remake of his own School Days recycles the Wrestling Empire combat engine into a chaotic school-life sandbox -- genuinely funny for the built-in fanbase, but saddled with camera and control complaints that have gone unfixed since launch, and a recent trust problem over undisclosed AI-generated content.
6 / 10
A charming, Evil Genius-styled boot camp management sim whose base-building and art direction win consistent praise, dogged from launch through three years of updates by the same complaint — reviewers keep calling it a "waiting simulator" with too little strategy underneath.
6 / 10
A social sandbox MMO with no vendors, no quest-givers and no safety net — genuinely distinctive when it comes to player-built villages and a player-run economy, but its land ownership system asks for real, recurring money in a way a lot of its own players resent.
6 / 10
A pixel-art roguelite that bills itself as "Vampire Survivors meets Gauntlet," drawing real affection from arcade-era Gauntlet fans while a consistent share of newcomers expecting a faster bullet-heaven find its slow pacing, minimal stat upgrades and unfair-feeling enemy scaling a poor match for their expectations.
6 / 10
A 4-player co-op tactical roguelite shooter from the studio behind Black Mesa, whose jump from Early Access to "1.0" this week delivered almost exactly what one detailed reviewer predicted it would — one new map and a few new guns, not the broader AI, economy and content overhaul the developer's own Early Access roadmap had promised.
6 / 10
A local-multiplayer physics brawler set in a Japanese public bathhouse, where the "Survivor" in the name means outlasting three rivals on a frictionless floor with a water gun, not building a horde-clearing arsenal — a genre-savvy buyer needs to know that before anything else, along with the fact that every mode here is played on one couch, not online.
6 / 10
Read review of SENTO SURVIVOR : Slip, Grab, and Bathe in Glory!
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
Firaxis's boldest structural gamble in the series' history — mandatory "Age" transitions that force players to swap civilizations twice per campaign — split the Civilization fanbase down the middle at launch and still sits Mixed across nearly 58,000 Steam reviews eighteen months later, even as a genuinely major, free "Test of Time" update rebuilt huge parts of the game in direct response to that backlash.
6 / 10
A Megabonk-adjacent bullet-heaven with genuine base-building ambitions, launched as a full 1.0 in a state so rough that a majority of its own buyers said it should have shipped as Early Access — since substantially patched on the technical side, while a broken, too-generous progression economy remains an open complaint as recently as this week.
6 / 10
A tiny-scale survival-crafting game about insect-sized humans fending off giant bugs, frequently compared to Grounded — with a persistent, three-year-long complaint that even its official 1.0 release still plays like unfinished Early Access.
6 / 10
A farming sim with classes, magic and dragons, sold for twelve dollars with a hundred and seventy-four dollars of DLC behind it. Its recent reviews have collapsed to 74% — and most of them aren't about the farming.
6 / 10
A Waterworld-flavoured survival crafting game still in Early Access, whose real fun core loop is undercut by genuine base-corrupting bugs and security concerns — and whose "abandoned by the developer" complaints, common in 2025 reviews, are directly contradicted by an active, multiple-updates-per-week patch history running right up to this review.
6 / 10
Reviewed the same day as its predecessor, this sequel draws a genuinely different complaint than the original — rather than being measured against Advance Wars for tactical depth, Wargroove 2's dominant criticism is excessive, often unskippable dialogue and exposition, alongside a specific features trade several longtime fans see as a net loss.
6 / 10
A grimdark Diablo-like that launched always-online and unfinished in 2017, was widely credited by its own players with turning itself around after a specific 2019 overhaul patch, and didn't drop the always-online requirement that dogged its reputation until a dedicated offline mode arrived nearly seven years later.
6 / 10
A solo-developed WWII hex-tactics game built for fast, objective-capture skirmishes rather than slow attrition, entering Early Access six days old with a working single-player campaign, online PvP and a map editor already in place — and next to no reviews yet to judge any of it by.
6 / 10
A fast-paced Advance Wars-style tactics game that launched with promised features missing and a genuinely broken economy system, provoking real backer anger — followed by an unusually sustained year of active patching that has narrowed, without fully closing, the gap between what was promised and what shipped.
6 / 10
The most technically ambitious combat sim on Steam — planes, tanks and ships in one engine, free to install, twelve years of updates. Its 35 add-ons total more than NZ$2,100, and after a decade the single most consistent thing players say about it is that the grind is designed to sell you out of itself.
6 / 10
A straight Steam re-release of the 1998 Nintendo/PC puzzle cult classic about raising terrain to hold back constant rain, published by trademark-holder Piko Interactive with no review corpus yet to check it against.
6 / 10
Motion Twin's lightning-fast co-op roguelite from the creators of Dead Cells, nearly two years into an Early Access run that has seen the developer visibly respond to community backlash (removing a widely hated "sudden death" co-op mechanic), while solo players, value-for-money and content depth remain real, recurring points of contention.
6 / 10
A stylish co-op survival roguelite about wizards who shoot rather than cast, widely described at launch as feeling rushed and early-access-like — and, as of June 2024, permanently frozen in that state after developer Galvanic Games officially disbanded.
6 / 10
A CryEngine action RPG that scrapped fixed classes for a rotating passive wheel anyone can bend around any weapon — undone at launch by a server collapse that ate people's characters, and undone for good in September 2024 when the studio switched the multiplayer off forever.
6 / 10
One of survival gaming's defining sandbox games, whose Mostly Positive 80% across 332,096 reviews now sits under a live, furious controversy — official servers sunset in 2023 to push players toward a paid Unreal Engine 5 remaster after reviewers cite an archived tweet promising that exact upgrade would be free, and a 2025 update reviewers say broke years of mods, maps and communities on the way out.
5.5 / 10
A 2-6 player party shooter built around a single dropped-from-the-sky button that hands out a jackpot or a map-flattening nuke, filed under "Massively Multiplayer" on Steam despite six-minute rounds, a hard cap of six players and, a day after launch, zero people playing it at the moment this was checked.
