Moonlighter splits itself between a dungeon-crawling roguelite and a shop-management sim, and the two halves are tied together by a genuinely clever idea — you set your own prices and read the customers to find out if you got it right. The question worth answering eight years on is whether that idea, and the combat around it, still hold up once the spreadsheet gets written.
7.5 / 10
A genuinely acclaimed medieval melee combat game whose combat system reviewers on both sides of the score still call the best in its genre — undercut by a worsening, well-corroborated problem as the game ages: a shrinking, veteran-dominated population creates a steep skill gap that new players increasingly describe as insurmountable, with negative reviews trending upward every year since 2021.
7.5 / 10
The finest medieval battle simulator ever built, wrapped in a sandbox its own fans say is thinner than the 2010 game it replaced. Its most-upvoted negative review is a list of features Warband had and this doesn't.
7.5 / 10
A solo Swedish developer's five-years-in-the-making remake of his own 2014 cult Flash game -- bullet-time gun-fu narrated by a sentient banana -- still Overwhelmingly Positive on Steam seven years on, with a strikingly consistent complaint: a first half nearly everyone loves, and a back half a real share of players say runs out of ideas.
7.5 / 10
A hundred-and-eighteen-hour median playtime and 92% of recent reviews positive — this is one of the best crafting RPGs anyone has made. It also sells a multiplayer mode with no story in it, and NZ$122 of small DLC on top of a NZ$70 game.
7.5 / 10
Nomada Studio's follow-up to the beloved GRIS is gorgeous by near-universal agreement and just as consistently marked down by its own fans for one specific addition — combat — that a majority of its detailed critics say undercuts the emotional, puzzle-led magic that made its predecessor a modern classic.
7.5 / 10
A genuine revival of one of action gaming's most demanding franchises, co-developed by PlatinumGames and Team Ninja, launching to widespread praise for its combat within days of the death of series creator Tomonobu Itagaki — undercut by a real, consistently repeated identity debate among longtime fans over how much of the game feels like Platinum's own house style rather than classic Ninja Gaiden.
7.5 / 10
Level-5's sequel swaps Studio Ghibli's direct involvement for a hybrid of open-world action RPG and kingdom-building sim -- gorgeous and generous with content, but eight years on its combat, story and half-baked army battles are the recurring complaints even among fans who put hundreds of hours into it.
7.5 / 10
Team Ninja's samurai-era Souls-like pairs one of the deepest stance-based combat systems in the genre with a Diablo-style loot flood that a large, vocal share of its own fans say fights against everything the combat is trying to do -- a disagreement that hasn't moved in nine years of reviews.
7.5 / 10
A densely written, richly atmospheric Southern Gothic point-and-click set in a surreal, sinking Louisiana refinery town, whose passionate fanbase and its critics converge on the same specific complaint — a narrative that loses its footing in the final act after an extraordinary opening.
7.5 / 10
Moon Studios spent over two years turning a thin, contentious Early Access launch into a nearly complete game — hand-painted world, precision souls-like combat, a real town to build up, and co-op that only actually arrived in January 2026 — with the full 1.0 release now dated for October 2026.
7.5 / 10
A NZ$7.39 plinko roguelike about making numbers get bigger, 97.4% positive — and 56 of its 100 most-helpful negative reviews are about the same thing: you are not really in control.
7.5 / 10
Barrel Smash Studios' two-person Early Access debut drowns the world and asks you to build a colony on whatever's still floating — rafts, sinking islands, shark attacks and a corporate conspiracy buried in scavenged bunkers, all wrapped around a Rimworld-flavoured survivor sim.
7.5 / 10
The long-awaited official Steam release of one of indie RPG history's most influential cult classics — a surreal, unsettling 2008 RPG Maker game credited as a direct inspiration for Undertale, Deltarune, Omori and OneShot — undercut for longtime fans by a completely replaced soundtrack, a change with a specific, well-documented and genuinely sympathetic reason behind it.
7.5 / 10
A sci-fi bullet-hell roguelike from a solo developer whose likeable social-media presence turned into a genuine viral moment — inflating the review count well beyond what gameplay alone usually drives, though players who stuck around for real playtime confirm there's a solid game underneath the goodwill.
7.5 / 10
A deeply weird, deeply charming farming and creature-collector hybrid that resolves disputes with dance battles instead of combat — arriving on Steam years late and still trailing a genuinely ugly 2019 controversy that has little to do with the game itself.
7.5 / 10
A co-op mining sim where the underground has no fixed layout, bolted onto a genuine factory-automation game — dig your own tunnels with a squad of up to four, then turn what you find into a production line with conveyor belts, robots, and delivery contracts.
7.5 / 10
Six years in Early Access, and the 1.0 landed this week. You play a broke shipbreaker with a loan and a flying coffin, building a ship out of salvage one bolt at a time. Nothing else does what it does — and its own most devoted players think it needed another year.
7.5 / 10
A haunting, atmospheric car-survival roguelike whose single biggest obstacle to a wider audience isn't its horror or its driving physics — it's a save system that a large, consistent share of reviewers say makes the game genuinely incompatible with an interrupted life.
7.5 / 10
A properly uncompromising immersive sim — hack it, sneak it, or shoot it, in a grimy 2038 California run by a secret society. The most divisive thing in it is the save system, and that's not an oversight. It's the design.
7.5 / 10
A demon-infested crusade that hands out nine ways to stop being human, wrapped around the most tabletop-faithful, least newcomer-friendly ruleset the CRPG revival has shipped — and a strategic army layer a large share of its own audience wishes it could turn off.
7.5 / 10
A dark-fantasy roguelike where you spend an hour designing a character and about eight minutes watching them win — 98% positive, and its critics and its store page agree on exactly what it is.
7.5 / 10
A Lovecraftian idle RPG that spent months as a well-loved free demo before its 12 August 2026 launch -- an auto-battling, town-building, gear-crafting incremental that early buyers call one of the deepest idle games in years, with a real complaint underneath the praise about a stat and customisation system that gets overwhelming fast.
7.5 / 10
Obsidian's hand-illustrated murder-mystery RPG set in 1500s Bavaria earns comparisons to Disco Elysium and praise from actual medievalists -- and a genuinely substantial minority of its own fans arguing the choices that define it matter far less than the game pretends.
