MercurySteam's dark fantasy forging-adventure spent a year as a PlayStation and Epic Games Store exclusive before reaching Steam alongside a substantial Version 2.0 update. Its combat divides reviewers sharply, and one escort-quest section is disliked with rare unanimity.
7 / 10
The clicker that turned clicking optional — ascension, Hero Souls and the Ancients tree came from here, and the idle RPG genre never really left. A retrospective look at whether the game that built the template still deserves a slot in 2026.
7 / 10
A tight, dark-fantasy dungeon-crawling roguelite where every choice trades short-term power for a rising curse meter — critically well-reviewed and Very Positive on Steam, with a vocal minority who bounce hard off its late-game difficulty and its lack of a Hades-style hub to soften the loop.
7 / 10
Ten years, 38 DLC packs and 924,876 reviews later, the complaint isn't the licensed horror store — DLC appears in nine of a hundred negative reviews. It's each other.
7 / 10
A charming, deeply likeable Disney life-sim whose 2022 Early Access promise of an eventual free-to-play release was formally scrapped in 2023 — a well-documented reversal that still shapes how existing players talk about the game more than two years later.
7 / 10
A Kickstarter-funded spiritual successor to Suikoden, built by the genre veterans who created it, that delivers on its hundred-recruit army-building promise while carrying a rough English localization and a completionist grind that its own Steam reviews argue about at length.
7 / 10
A survival-crafting game that replaces its genre's usual menu-driven fiddling with a diegetic system — you inspect your own wounds, dig leeches out with your fingers and physically reach into your pack for a fire kit — built around a sanity mechanic that can hallucinate you to death. A separate, heavily narrative Story Mode sits alongside the open sandbox and has drawn specific, credible criticism for how it depicts the Amazon's indigenous Yabahuaca people.
7 / 10
DrinkBox Studios' Mexican-folklore metroidvania sequel raised the difficulty on everything the beloved original was praised for -- and eight years of Steam reviews show a real split between players who call it the best the genre has to offer and a large minority who say the harder platforming and unresponsive controls broke what made the first game fun.
7 / 10
A genuinely impressive Unreal Engine 5 remake of the campaign that built a franchise, shipped with one enormous, deliberate omission — every scrap of the multiplayer that kept people playing the original for twenty years.
7 / 10
A handsome, deliberately linear twelve-hour crime story in 1900s Sicily that three in five buyers actually finish — released at NZ$119.95, which is the number most of its arguments are really about.
7 / 10
A first-person survival sandbox about hunting, farming and building a village that eventually runs itself, wrapped around the promise of a multi-generational dynasty that almost nobody who owns it ever actually reaches — a Very Positive, 42,000-plus-review Steam favourite that has spent the last two years answering "what's missing" with paid cosmetics instead of the content its own late-game silence keeps calling for.
7 / 10
One of the greatest games ever made, rebuilt shot for shot and shipped at NZ$114.99 with performance problems Konami stopped patching in January — now 60% off, eleven months later, for reasons the review page makes obvious.
7 / 10
Mojang's accessible, co-op-first loot crawler wearing Minecraft's blocky skin over a Diablo-style structure — broadly loved for local and online co-op, and carrying one specific, heavily documented complaint its own Steam reviews won't let go of.
7 / 10
The Bearded Ladies' XCOM-inspired tactics game, from former Hitman and Payday designers, is Very Positive on Steam eight years on -- but its marketing promise of open tactical freedom runs into a review history that's remarkably consistent about a harder truth: there's really only one viable way to play it, and the game punishes almost every other approach severely.
7 / 10
A pixel-art automation game that grafts Factorio-style conveyor belts onto a Forager-style hand-gathering loop. The first ten hours are genuinely charming; the back half turns into a long wait for timers to finish, and a cluster of recent reviews accuse it of bundling data collection players can't fully switch off.
7 / 10
A Mostly Negative badge on one of the best-designed shooters ever made — and the single most-upvoted criticism of it, at 21,456 votes, has been edited by its own author to say most of it no longer applies.
7 / 10
A gorgeous Scandinavian-folklore adventure about grief and redemption from a debut studio of PlayStation veterans — critically Strong and Very Positive on Steam, with a very consistent minority complaint that its puzzle pacing, backtracking and slow, unskippable animations undercut the story it's telling.
7 / 10
A self-contained, deliberately non-live-service starfighter combat game that critics loved and EA promised never to expand — a rare, honest $40 purchase undercut for a real share of players by years-unresolved login authentication bugs and a multiplayer population that's shrunk enough to make its own leaver-penalty system actively punishing.
7 / 10
An outstanding fighting game that added a cash shop and premium battle pass two months after launch, then spent a year buffing offence until its own 300-hour veterans stopped recognising it — and is only now climbing back.
7 / 10
Nine years, 60 DLC packs and 201,251 reviews — and unlike other DLC-heavy giants, here the store really is the complaint, because what's behind the paywall isn't extra content but the equipment you need.
7 / 10
A full 3D remake of a 1995 Super Famicom classic that never got an official English release until this and a retro re-issue arrived together in 2019-2020 — faithful to the original's charm and class-change system, but missing the SNES version's local co-op and carrying writing a meaningful share of its own Steam reviews call dated.
7 / 10
A debut Metroidvania that wears its Salt and Sanctuary and Bloodborne influences openly — critically well-received and Very Positive on Steam for its gothic art and boss fights, held back by confusing itemization, quest-breaking progression traps and a map screen players report as unusably broken years after launch.
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 hand-drawn, elemental-bending fighter with a genuinely novel combat system, released three weeks ago into the exact kind of rushed, feature-incomplete launch its own Steam reviews keep warning newcomers about.
6.8 / 10
