1892 reviews
A zombie survival game whose combat reviewers describe as broken since its February Early Access launch, marketed with an "MMO" tag despite no server list, and selling individual weapons as separate DLC priced the same as the entire base game.
3 / 10
A NZ$2.49 idle hero-placement tower defense from solo Chinese developer Yamate whose 30-wave campaign hits the same reproducible, game-breaking bug at wave 23 in two independent reviews a year apart, on top of a broken mana mechanic and unit upgrades that reset every time you quit — a serious flaw in a game built around idling away from the keyboard.
3 / 10
A cheap fantasy-themed clicker from Leakage Games that can be fully completed in a handful of hours, undermined by a genre-breaking design choice — no progress at all while the window isn't in focus.
3 / 10
A budget dungeon crawler whose store page promises "endless procedurally generated dungeons," while every reviewer who has actually bought it describes roughly four fixed rooms, a death bug, and no way to quit the game without closing it through Windows.
3 / 10
A NZ$6.29 xianxia-themed idle herb farm from a Chinese solo developer who shipped a near-identical idle game five weeks earlier — a decorative thousand-card compendium and an auto-battling cultivator sit on top of a loop with exactly one real decision, and both patches and the developer's attention stopped inside the first week.
3 / 10
A generically titled creature-collector RPG whose own Steam DLC catalogue verifies a pay-to-win structure — pre-leveled Legendary monsters and permanent EXP boosters sold separately on top of a NZ$21.99 base price — reviewed on an almost nonexistent early audience whose own achievement data shows essentially no one progressing past the tutorial.
3 / 10
A free, short VR "edutainment" trip to a lunar base that genuinely charms the players who can get it working, undercut by severely inconsistent controller support that leaves a large share of reviewers unable to turn, move, or even start the experience at all.
3 / 10
A NZ$10.29 desk-diorama ant colony sim from a solo student developer, launched unfinished on 1 April 2022 (unintentionally, on April Fools), publicly apologised for, patched twice over the following five months, and then left behind — a review from November 2023 says the developer "completely abandoned" it, and the game's own tiny nine-review corpus backs that up.
3 / 10
A free-to-play shop-management RPG that ran on Steam for six years, was Mostly Positive the whole time, and then simply stopped existing — servers shut down in 2022, delisted from sale, quietly replaced by a mobile sequel. There is no version of this game you can buy or play today.
3 / 10
A free, solo-developed fantasy survival and settlement-builder that its own store page admits is "an early test version currently intended only for selected players" — and its first reviewers, largely sympathetic to the idea, confirm that disclaimer is accurate rather than modest.
3 / 10
A free clicker whose "AFK all you want" pitch is directly contradicted by its own players, who report zero progress while the game isn't actively running — and whose negative corpus mostly isn't complaining about the gameplay at all, but arguing this is a Steam-inventory-item farming vehicle in the mould of Banana rather than an actual idle game.
3 / 10
A full-price stealth-platformer built around Middle-earth's most compelling supporting character that arrived so technically broken it became a byword for launch disasters — its Steam player count hit zero within five months, and the studio that made it closed its development arm weeks after release.
3 / 10
A two-day-old NZ$7.89 Steam release whose name promises a multiplayer battle royale but whose own store page describes a single-player wave shooter against AI soldiers, with zero user reviews, zero recorded concurrent players and a disclosed AI-generated-asset credit.
3 / 10
A cheap, thin desktop-wallpaper colony builder with a review sample too small to trust on its own — but three separate negative reviews independently describe the game running unexpectedly in the background after being closed, a real and specific risk for Steam's own 2-hour refund window.
3 / 10
Read review of Underwater World - Idle Desktop Colony Building Simulator
A free, solo-developed cyberpunk tower defense game with an unusually small, almost entirely negative review sample — and a specific, independently-verifiable claim that it began life as a Unity tutorial course project.
2.8 / 10
A bare-bones restaurant management sim with no missions, goals, or real progression loop, compounded by crashes and a broken autosave, and one detailed reviewer's unverified claim that the developer may not have built the game's assets themselves.
2.6 / 10
A NZ$3.19 idle "tycoon" whose entire loop, according to multiple independent reviewers, is buying one of 36 plots and watching it pay a flat 1 coin regardless of price or level — the fourth Boogygames Studios template Wanderer has reviewed, and the thinnest one yet.
2.5 / 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.
2.5 / 10
A $9.99 fantasy trading card game promising decks, PvP and a growing card pool — that has sat on Steam since 2022 without a single user review or a live opponent to play against.
2.3 / 10
An imaginative premise — a giant mobile castle fleeing monsters across an open world — sold at an extraordinary NZ$289.99, which this review's own check of Steam's public records shows spent roughly six years in Early Access before quietly "leaving" it in 2024 with a single achievement and, by ten of eleven reviewers' accounts, barely a tutorial's worth of content.
