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
A short, comedic visual novel about a broke student who trades his textbook for a scheming grey parrot promising to lead him to a billionaire's golden pineapples, praised by most of its small early review base for sharp, absurdist dialogue and quirky mini-games, though one detailed dissenting review argues the writing tips from charmingly weird into genuinely incoherent.
7 / 10
A TTRPG-inspired Early Access roguelike where dice casts decide movement, combat and events across a haunted occult forest, praised by its tiny early review base for a grim hand-drawn aesthetic and genuinely branching character-specific story paths, tempered by a steep late-game difficulty curve and a heavy reliance on RNG.
7 / 10
A widely loved Left 4 Dead-style co-op action RPG whose own longtime fans describe a recurring pattern of the developer breaking what worked — most seriously with a kernel-level anti-cheat system reviewers say has issued false-positive bans in a purely cooperative game.

The Great Rat War, drawn entirely by one person WAR RATS: The Rat em Up sends players scurrying through a side-scrolling conflict against the vile TechnoRat armies, recruiting unit
7 / 10
A character-based co-op action RPG that launched into Early Access on 17 August 2023 to what reviewers called one of the worst MMO launches in gaming history — hour-long server queues, a punitive premium-currency cash shop — then, after its original publisher's games division shut down months later, was rebuilt by its developer into a one-time purchase with microtransactions removed entirely.
7 / 10
An isometric immersive sim from Dishonored and Prey veterans that delivers on emergent, reactive storytelling almost every reviewer singles out for praise, wrapped around combat, companion AI and interface decisions that a large and articulate share of its own players call the weakest part of the experience.
7 / 10
Werehouse is Dreamer's Abyss's co-op horror-comedy about overworked elves packing presents through a procedurally-generated, monster-infested warehouse on the night before Christmas, and this review's small but unanimously positive sample confirms a chaotic, funny, low-price party game that lives or dies on having friends to play it with.

A Wizard Cat Adventure Drawn Entirely in Marker on Paper Whiskers, Wizards and Wands casts the player as Juniper Von Umbravox — "Junie" for short — an Elemental Master ca
7 / 10
A creature-collecting twist on the Vampire Survivors-style bullet-heaven that spent seven months in Early Access absorbing genuinely substantial content updates before reaching 1.0 — most of its harshest criticism predates that work and describes a build that no longer exists, though a real, smaller cluster of post-1.0 complaints, including one raised inside a positive review, says its opening 30 minutes still aren't fixed.
7 / 10
An atmospheric, beautifully art-directed Early Access horror action RPG from the creator of cult favourite Withering Rooms, drawing strong early praise for its Victorian horror mood and music, but facing a detailed, credible critique from longtime fans that it has traded the original's punishing survival-horror identity for a more generic soulslike formula, alongside a reproducible severe performance issue at maximum settings on high-end hardware.
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
MachineGames' 2014 reboot remains Very Positive across more than 61,000 Steam reviews a decade later, widely credited with successfully reviving a dormant franchise through genuinely strong gunplay and an unexpectedly earnest story — undercut for AMD graphics card owners by a severe, reproducible technical incompatibility this review can confirm has gone unresolved in the developer's own communications for well over a decade.
7 / 10
A 2005 Nihon Falcom action-RPG that reviewers independently and repeatedly describe as a possible hidden influence on Dark Souls, held back on its 2016 Western Steam release by real technical instability, a build-lock design complaint, and a striking loss for native Japanese-speaking fans — the original Japanese language track was removed entirely.
7 / 10
A Spear That Is Also a Platform, a Weapon, and a Seed YesterSol's entire identity is built around one tool: the SolSpear, a magical weapon that a young sun warrior named Corin
7 / 10
A chaotic 12-player dung beetle soccer brawler that mixes Rocket League momentum with Overwatch-style class abilities, and mostly sticks the landing.

6.9 / 10
An Early Access zombie-apocalypse vehicle survival game about scavenging parts and building a roadworthy fortress on wheels, praised for an addictive build-and-drive loop and an unusually responsive solo developer, but held back by repetitive content, jank, and an undisclosed use of AI-generated audio and video assets.
6.9 / 10
The Steam port of Flipline Studios' mobile-exclusive coffeehouse time-management game, greeted by a wave of nostalgic franchise fans as a satisfying if slightly rougher entry than its Freezeria and Pizzeria predecessors, with real complaints about a confusing order ticket and a brewing station that doesn't always translate cleanly from touchscreen to mouse.
