Iratus: Lord of the Dead
Unfrozen's tactical roguelike hands you the dungeon instead of the raiding party — you're the necromancer stitching an undead army out of whatever your enemies leave behind.

Our Adventurer Guild
A solo-developed guild-management tactics RPG that Steam's own reviewers keep comparing to Final Fantasy Tactics, Darkest Dungeon and Fire Emblem — deep, generous with content, and wrapped in an art style its own fans describe as looking like a 2000s Flash game.
7.8 / 10
Albion Online
A classless sandbox MMORPG where every sword, ship and set of plate armour is player-made — and where losing a fight in the wrong zone means losing all of it. Nine years in, and now on Xbox, the question is whether that risk still teaches or just filters.
7.5 / 10
Almost a Hero
A party of the world's most useless heroes carries a fairly ordinary idle RPG through sheer force of writing, while its rewarded-video-ad economy is honest enough about what it's selling that the comparison to gacha idlers actually favours it.
7.5 / 10
Assassin's Creed Odyssey
The most beautiful open world Ubisoft has built, and the clearest case study in gaming of a cash shop reaching backwards into a game's design. Eight years on it costs NZ$19.99 and holds 89% — but the level gates it built around its XP boosters are still exactly where they were.
7.5 / 10
Astral Ascent
A Hades-and-Dead-Cells-flavoured roguelite metroidvania whose art, combat feel and hub writing draw strong praise for its opening hours, with a consistent, specific counter-argument that its meta-progression grows passive rather than build-defining once the difficulty ramps up.
7.5 / 10
Avowed
Obsidian trades the open world it once pitched for four dense, handcrafted regions of Eora, and the trade mostly pays off — sharp first-person combat and companions with real opinions, wrapped around a plague mystery that resolves faster than it deserves to.
7.5 / 10
Black Desert Online
An action-combat MMO where the fighting is closer to a character-action game than a tab-target RPG, the real long-term game is an offline worker economy running nodes and trade routes while you're logged out, and gear upgrades can fail hard enough to destroy the item you spent months building. Ten years old, still getting weekly content, and still the most mechanically dense MMO most players will ever half-understand.
7.5 / 10
Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night
Koji Igarashi's Kickstarter-funded spiritual successor to Symphony of the Night is still a deep, generously-supported Metroidvania seven years on -- but a December 2025 switch to requiring Epic Online Services has visibly dragged its recent review score down from Very Positive to Mostly Positive.
7.5 / 10
Candy Box 2
A free ASCII-art browser game that opens on a candy counter and nothing else, then spends the next several hours quietly revealing a full RPG underneath — one of the genre's founding tricks, and still one of the hardest to pull off honestly.
7.5 / 10
Citizen Sleeper 2: Starward Vector
A sci-fi tabletop RPG that expands its predecessor's dice-and-clocks storytelling into a ship-hopping journey across a whole star belt, earning two BAFTA nominations and a Best Narrative award along the way — while a large majority of its own harshest Steam reviewers are the first game's biggest fans, measuring it against a beloved original and finding its punishing new dice system the hardest part to forgive.
7.5 / 10
Crimson Desert
Pearl Abyss's massive, visually stunning open-world action-adventure launched to a rocky Mixed reception — a specific, documented 51% positive Steam score in its first days — before climbing to Very Positive within a week and staying there through five months of relentless, near-weekly patches, even as a real, ongoing thread of criticism argues the game never fully shakes its origins as an MMORPG stripped of its multiplayer.
7.5 / 10
Crusader Kings III
The best character-driven strategy game ever made, and the clearest case in gaming of DLC that doesn't just add content but withholds answers. Its players log 117-hour medians and write four-hundred-vote reviews about the storefront.
7.5 / 10
Crystal Project
A solo-developer job-system JRPG built for players who want Final Fantasy V's class depth without any hand-holding -- widely loved for exactly that reason, and just as widely criticised for making platforming mandatory and its endgame punishingly unbalanced.
7.5 / 10
Cursemark
A rune-socketed action roguelite where the world gets more dangerous the more of it you uncover — a genuinely inventive build system wrapped around a dodge that refuses to behave like the souls-likes it keeps getting compared to.
7.5 / 10
Cyber Knights: Flashpoint
A genuinely ambitious cyberpunk tactics RPG blending XCOM-style squad combat with Shadowrun-flavoured heist design, whose exceptionally hands-on developer earns some of the warmest praise this outlet has documented all year — sitting alongside a real, concentrated complaint from its highest-voted reviewers that its June 2025 "1.0" release still reads like Early Access in disguise.
7.5 / 10
Darkest Dungeon II
Red Hook rebuilt Darkest Dungeon as a roguelite road trip instead of a long campaign, and three years later the review corpus still splits almost exactly down that line — not a launch controversy that faded, but a genre identity change some fans never made peace with.
7.5 / 10
DARK SOULS: REMASTERED
One of the most genre-defining action RPGs ever made, sold through a remaster its own launch-week reviewers called a $25 patch for known bugs that are, in several cases, still in the game — with the cheaper original delisted from Steam entirely.
7.5 / 10
Diablo III
Diablo III launched in 2012 with a real-money item market that quietly rewrote its own loot tables, then spent the next two years proving the fix was worth the wait. Fourteen years and thirty-nine seasons on, it's a cheap, complete, still-excellent action RPG stuck in maintenance mode — and still carrying an always-online rule it no longer has a reason for.
7.5 / 10
Diablo II: Resurrected
Blizzard's remaster of the 2000 original finally landed on Steam in February 2026, bundled with the first new class since 2001. The classic game underneath is exactly as good as it ever was — the question is whether Steam buyers are actually being sold the classic game, or something more expensive.
7.5 / 10
Diablo IV
Two expansions and a dozen seasons after launch, Diablo IV has fixed the thing that nearly sank it — its loot — and built a genuinely enormous endgame on top. What it hasn't fixed is how much it now costs, in money and in relearning, to stay current with it.
7.5 / 10
Divinity: Original Sin - Enhanced Edition
The Larian CRPG that laid the groundwork for Divinity: Original Sin 2 — genuinely one of the better-executed "Enhanced Editions" this library has covered, held back mainly by a back half its own fans agree drags compared to the sequel it made possible.
7.5 / 10
Dragon Age: Inquisition
A celebrated, GOTY-winning BioWare fantasy epic whose Steam review page has spent six straight years dominated by one complaint that has nothing to do with the game — the mandatory EA launcher, which reviewers are still calling out for breaking the game as recently as this year.
7.5 / 10
Dragon's Dogma 2
Capcom's open-world action RPG is built around a genuinely strange idea — AI companions on loan from other players' worlds — wrapped in a combat system that rewards climbing monsters like furniture and a map that punishes you for wanting to skip the walk. Two-plus years of patches have quietly answered most of its launch complaints; the review score never fully recovered from asking anyway.
