A gorgeously atmospheric Victorian folk horror point-and-click whose exceptional opening hours and voice acting draw near-unanimous praise, undercut by an ending a large and vocal share of players say betrays the protagonist and the story's own logic — though a meaningful minority argues it's exactly the cosmic-horror payoff the genre demands.
7 / 10
A 400,000-word gothic CRPG about a minor 18th-century noble's slow corruption into a master of the undead, widely praised for its writing and choice-consequence Trust system — and just as widely criticised, by a smaller but vocal minority, for basic combat, opaque reputation swings, and softlocks that can strand an underprepared build for hours.
7 / 10
An adorable desktop-companion idler where pixel animals roam the bottom of your screen while you work — undercut by a genuinely strange design choice for a game in this genre, its own idle mascots get sick if you leave them alone for too long.
7 / 10
One of the best-regarded entries in the Total War series on release, built around a genuinely deep diplomacy system and two distinct ways to play — undercut by a 2019 modding censorship controversy tied to a Chinese-market publishing deal, a DLC roadmap reviewers say Creative Assembly abandoned before finishing the story it promised, and persistent crash bugs still reported years later.
7 / 10
A charming university-management sim that both its harshest critics and its single most-played fan (over 700 hours) describe using the same word -- a reskin of Two Point Hospital -- disagreeing only on whether that's a compliment.
7 / 10
Obsidian's "evil already won" isometric RPG opens with one of the most original premises in the genre — and then, according to a large share of its own fans, simply stops rather than ends, a truncation reviewers link directly to the sequel and expansions it never got.
7 / 10
A faithful, ambitious remake of the 1993 BBS door game Usurper — text-only dungeon crawling in a persistent world of autonomous NPCs who marry, betray and die whether you're logged in or not — built by a solo developer whose speed wins loud praise, while the game's single most-upvoted review raises real, detailed concerns about development stability.
7 / 10
A free browser incremental built for a 2025 game jam, about hauling a strange substance up out of a mining town's collapsing depths — deliberately short, unusually confident about its Lovecraftian ending, and patched several times since launch to fix the rough edges that shipped with it.
7 / 10
Contingent99's Kickstarter-funded elemental combo roguelite is Very Positive on Steam eight years on, but the single most consistent complaint in its review history -- getting stunlocked by chains of hits with no invincibility frames on the dash -- is exactly the same complaint it launched with in 2018.
7 / 10
A genre classic that reviewers still describe as one of the best CRPGs ever made as recently as this year, held back for a meaningful subset of buyers by a persistent, unresolved technical problem — the Steam release simply failing to launch on modern Windows — that this review found reported as recently as February 2026, seven years after the complaint first appeared.
7 / 10
A solo German developer's Diablo-flavoured dwarf brawler — six to nine hours of hammer combos and procedurally reshuffled dungeons for about the price of a coffee, with no co-op and a combat system that occasionally fights the player as hard as the monsters do.
6.8 / 10
A decade-refined mobile hit about reading a rival's mood in a pizza order — charming, funny, and still selling the same diamonds it sold on your phone.
6.7 / 10
Read review of Good Pizza, Great Pizza - Cooking Simulator Game
A solo-developed guild management idle RPG with eleven classes, eleven tiered professions and hour-long raids, sold once for NZ$7.39 with no ads and nothing else to buy — an ambitious system let down at launch by dungeons and raids that don't repeat on their own, which is a strange gap in a game built around leaving it alone.
6.5 / 10
A four-player co-op deckbuilder that solves the genre's most obvious gap — playing Slay the Spire-style card combat as an actual shared party instead of a shared seed — and then spends the years after its Paradox acquisition undermining that achievement with DLC pricing its own community calls predatory.
6.5 / 10
A faithful, deeply strategic digital port of Fantasy Flight's landmark diplomacy board game, undercut by a five-year-old AFK problem that can freeze an entire multiplayer match and a thin, hard-to-find player base.
6.5 / 10
Read review of A Game of Thrones: The Board Game - Digital Edition
A free-to-play idle RPG built around a wizard guild where every skill quietly multiplies every other skill — a genuinely clever synergy system undercut by a one-worker-at-a-time bottleneck and a VIP purchase ladder players have to climb tier by tier.
6.5 / 10
Harebrained Schemes' Kickstarter-funded, XCom-shaped adaptation of the tabletop mech wargame is Very Positive on Steam eight years on, but its own review history shows a genuine split -- a mercenary-company campaign many call the best BattleTech has ever played, sitting on top of a punishing economy and mission balance that Paradox stopped patching years ago.
6.5 / 10
A charming, well-written bed-and-breakfast management game about a bear renovating forest cabins for human guests, whose extremely consistent negative-review complaint — genuine charm wrapped around slow, repetitive, empty gameplay — recurs so often that it reads as the honest consensus rather than a minority view.
6.5 / 10
An ambitious single-world MMO crafting sandbox from the studio behind SpacetimeDB, built around a genuinely deep, RuneScape-inspired grind that its own biggest fans openly embrace — undercut by a real tension between its "idle-friendly" marketing and punishing stamina systems, rampant player-on-player griefing the developers are criticised for under-policing, and a disclosed but under-communicated plan to wipe progress and convert to free-to-play after Early Access.
6.5 / 10
An idle clicker that spends its entropy on the entire history of life and technology instead of lemonade stands, with genuine scientific content dressing up a tech tree that is more linear than it looks and a monetisation stack that leans harder every year it stays alive.
6.5 / 10
A genuinely deep idle civilization builder — a hundred-plus technologies, era-spanning wonders, a real global trading market — undercut by a headline feature that's been advertised for over a year without actually existing.
6.5 / 10
A cheap, addictive clickmash dungeon crawler with a genuine timing-based blocking mechanic, well liked for its first hours, undercut by a real difficulty wall between its first two dungeons and a month of active support that stopped abruptly in early 2024.
6.5 / 10
A turn-based zombie survival RPG that splits its time between running a camp and sending a squad out to fight — genuinely deep for the first stretch, but Steam's own review text and achievement curve agree it wears thin well before the credits.
6.5 / 10
A grid-free tactical auto-battler where a debut studio builds its progression entirely around unlocking a permanent roster of up to 40 voxel heroes across 90-plus numbered challenges — a real meta-progression system wearing a much busier genre label than its mechanics actually earn, checked against a launch weekend with zero player-count evidence either way.
