A free 2018 AdVenture Capitalist-style clicker dressed up in cowboy hats, with a genuinely playable free loop, a reset curve that stretches from minutes to days, and an achievement list that expects you to recruit 80-plus strangers to friend you.
5.5 / 10
Talentless Person Games' pocket-sized clicker sends you smashing other planets apart to rebuild the home you lost, over a LoFi soundtrack and a run that's done in about an hour. It's a pleasant enough hour for the asking price, but "survival" in the title oversells a game with no hunger, health or threat system anywhere in it.
5.5 / 10
The rough, genuinely enjoyable first entry in what became a long-running franchise — a puzzle-like repair loop reviewers say works well in short bursts, undercut by real repetition, a lack of goals or garage progression, and a wobbly first-person camera several reviewers say induces motion sickness.
5.3 / 10
An old Viking's only goal is to find a death glorious enough to earn Valhalla, and the tall-tale premise is genuinely funny when the pop-culture gags land. What undercuts it is how much of its 2017 Steam port still behaves like the touchscreen game it started life as, down to the mid-playthrough prompt to rate it five stars on an app marketplace.
5.3 / 10
SoftCowGames' free tower-defense idler has a real early hook — upgrade a castle, unlock weapon tiers, farm bosses for legendary loot — but years of player reviews describe the same save-corruption bugs, a 10%-only offline rate and shop pricing that turns "just cosmetic" into a running joke.
5.2 / 10
Hyper Hippo's second idle game keeps the lemonade-stand loop from AdVenture Capitalist and welds two new systems onto it — a per-resource Rank ladder and a Capsule gacha full of collectible Researcher cards. One of those additions is real strategic texture. The other is a lootbox.
5 / 10
A genuinely good 2001 D&D hack-and-slash, ported to PC in 2021 with barebones options — and, per its three most-upvoted 2025-2026 reviews, hit with a Steam-only price hike right before a "sale" that discounted it back to roughly its normal price.
5 / 10
A genuinely novel pitch — Prohibition-era Chicago as a hybrid of XCOM tactics and Civilization-style empire management — from Doom co-creator John Romero's studio, undone by a buggy, shallow launch and, three years later, an outright abandonment that left a paid, pre-purchased second expansion permanently unreleased.
5 / 10
A free-to-play sci-fi idler in ongoing Early Access since October 2023, built as an authorised spiritual successor to Idle Space Raider and Transport Defender, undercut by a prestige loop that pays out less on every reset and a store-page offline-progress promise several reviewers say doesn't hold up.
5 / 10
PlayFlock's free asylum-horror clicker still has real atmosphere and a genuinely distinct art direction, but its own player base has spent a decade reporting the exact same progression wall around level 2000, and nobody at the studio has touched it since 2020.
5 / 10
A turn-based roguelite RPG that quietly relaunched after the original 2020 Sin Slayers was pulled from Steam, offering free replacement keys to affected owners, but running into the same grindy pacing and shallow combat complaints that dogged the original, alongside new balance and UI issues from the rebuild itself.
5 / 10
A free-to-play idle tower defense from Swell Games that most of its own review base describes as a reskin of the developer's earlier Idle Monster TD, wrapped around one of the more aggressively itemised in-app purchase menus this library has documented.
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 genuinely ambitious 2011 open-world fantasy RPG wrapped around one of PC gaming's most notorious publisher track records — phone-activation DRM demanding personal information, retroactively injected microtransactions, and an account requirement reviewers report is still being newly enforced on decade-old purchases in 2026.
4.5 / 10
A ricochet-shooting, box-lighting puzzle-platformer with genuine VR ambitions, undercut by a headtracking mismatch that a near-unanimous run of negative reviews says causes motion sickness within seconds, plus jump and movement controls several players call broken outright.
4.3 / 10
A free-to-play naval PvP autobattler with real, specific tactical depth reviewers enjoy, undercut by a strong, repeated pay-to-win throughline and a Steam release several reviewers say quietly reuses a years-old mobile game without disclosing it.
4.3 / 10
A Prohibition-era mafia grand strategy game with a genuinely rare premise and almost none of the depth needed to carry it past the first few hours.
4.2 / 10
Read review of The Commission: Organized Crime Grand Strategy
The paid sequel to one of idle gaming's founding games spent almost six years in Early Access, tore up its own design twice, and was quietly pulled from sale in 2024 without ever reaching version 1.0. A look at what it tried to build and why it never finished building it.
4 / 10
An idle guild-manager that has sat labelled "Early Access" on Steam since January 2017 with no update since that September — still installable, still free, and still collecting reviews from players logging hundreds of hours in a game its own developer stopped touching almost nine years ago.
4 / 10
A competent, aggressively monetised gacha idle RPG that ran for almost four years — until the developer shut its servers down for good on 31 July 2025 and deleted every account. It can no longer be bought, downloaded or played.
4 / 10
A cheap idle dungeon-crawler with a genuinely likeable opening hour, undone by a prestige loop that adds numbers instead of content, save-breaking bugs, and a developer who appears to have walked away within weeks of launch.
4 / 10
A budget tractor-and-crop sim from Gameza Studio that asks under three dollars and, going by its own tiny review sample, mostly delivers a stuck tractor, a touchy camera and an arbitrary plowing timer for the price.
3.5 / 10
A free-to-play mobile idle dungeon crawler ported to Steam with a price tag but without a rebalance, leaving the energy gates and premium-currency walls in place while removing the only way to actually get past them.
3.5 / 10
A bare, aggressively monetised mobile-tapper port whose own paid "Farmer's Pack" is independently reported by multiple reviewers to break the game's economy outright, on top of an idle game that several reviewers say isn't actually idle at all.
