The concluding chapter of the World of Assassination stealth-sandbox trilogy, Very Positive across nearly 31,000 reviews for gameplay reviewers consistently call the best in the series — undercut by an extremely consistent, top-voted complaint about a genuinely confusing and predatory bundle-and-DLC purchasing structure, and a well-corroborated complaint that a fully single-player game enforces an always-online requirement.
6.5 / 10
A bio-cyberpunk top-down hero shooter from Altergaze, six years in the making, blending a single-player story campaign with 5v5 online multiplayer across a roster of mutant heroes, Positive across 23 English reviews for its striking character design and fast-paced combat — with a widely repeated complaint that combat felt janky and imprecise at launch, since substantially addressed by the developer's own patches.
6.5 / 10
A Fishing Game That Forgot It Was a Fishing Game How to Fish promises exactly what the title says, and then spends the rest of its runtime finding ways to break that promise in the
6.5 / 10
A well-liked, honestly-scoped sequel where you pilot an experimental helicopter against battleship fleets — competent and satisfying for its advertised five hours, with one reported save issue this review couldn't independently confirm.
6.5 / 10
A gorgeous, wordless action RPG whose stunning pixel art and haunting score are close to universally praised across more than 15,000 reviews — and whose combat, storytelling and accessibility choices divide even players who clearly wanted to love it, in remarkably similar language across a full decade.
6.5 / 10
Debut Singapore studio Gearbyte Games delivers Identifile, a cursor-controlled bullet-hell roguelike about becoming your own computer's antivirus, earning strong, specific praise for its Pokémon Ranger-inspired combat and comic premise from a Very Positive Early Access review base, tempered by a repeated complaint about crashes and memory leaks, and a further complaint that its combat grows repetitive once its patterns are solved.
6.5 / 10
An Hour-Long Power Fantasy for Three Dollars Increvaders launched September 9, 2026 from solo developer Oblomoverie, riffing on Space Invaders with an incremental twist: waves of t
6.5 / 10
An open-world arcade racer from solo developer heartingNinja spread across nine connecting islands, unanimously Positive across a small English review sample for its AI-curated online radio, cop chases, and cheerful mayhem, tempered by acknowledged rough edges and a genuinely violent pedestrian mechanic worth flagging.
6.5 / 10
A gorgeous Norse-mythology horde-survivor that almost every one of its 3,141 English reviewers agrees has the best graphics in its genre — and just as many agree the systems underneath don't go anywhere near as deep.
6.5 / 10
Avalanche Studios' explosion-driven open-world sandbox remains a genre landmark for its enormous map, physics-based grappling hook and parachute traversal, and sheer chaotic freedom — but this Steam release has drifted into functional abandonware, with widespread, well-documented crashes on modern systems requiring specific manual fixes that most reviewers now treat as mandatory rather than optional.
6.5 / 10
A NZ$10.49 stationary-defense aim trainer from solo developer Cosmos, 100% positive across a tiny 14-review corpus and backed by well over a year of frequent, numbered patches through to a deliberate "Final Update" in October 2023 — a well-crafted niche game undersold by a store description that claims movement-based combat its own reviewers say doesn't exist.
6.5 / 10
An ultra-responsive isometric arcade shooter about a reanimated corpse clawing through five eldritch layers of the Abyss to kill the last angel, whose parry-and-dodge combat earns near-universal praise for its precision and flow-state intensity, undercut by a widely repeated, specific complaint that its equipment unlocks are gated behind obscure, poorly-taught challenge requirements rather than natural progression.
6.5 / 10
Square Enix's decade-in-the-making finale to the Xehanort saga launched to genuinely favorable critic scores in January 2019 -- but the audience that has actually reviewed it on Steam, mostly longtime fans who waited years for a PC release, rates the story and combat noticeably harder than critics did at launch, with Kingdom Hearts II held up constantly as the bar it didn't clear.
6.5 / 10
A genuinely well-regarded action RPG from a studio whose real-world collapse is as notable as anything in the game itself — reviewed here through a "remaster" its own longtime fans call barely more than a resolution bump on top of years-old, still-unfixed bugs.
6.5 / 10
A solo-developer love letter to PS1-era first-person dungeon crawlers and survival horror, blending King's Field-style exploration with Silent Hill atmosphere, earning a Very Positive reception for its presentation and opening hours that is undercut by a heavily corroborated complaint that combat, enemy design, and level polish fall off sharply after the game's first area.
6.5 / 10
A Fungal Apocalypse, a Missing Sister, and a Two-Person Team's Ambitious Debut Last Breath puts players in control of Guan Jin, an older sister searching a fungus-ravaged world
6.5 / 10
A cute, cheap, well-optimised roguelite platformer from Cygames that almost everyone finishes quickly and almost everyone enjoys while it lasts -- its own fans and critics agree on a lack of build variety and replay value more than they disagree on anything else.
6.5 / 10
A Souls-like roguelike built around genuinely innovative dungeon-sliding puzzle mechanics, let down at launch by combat its own fans called clunky and unreadable, followed by a rapid post-launch patch cycle that a meaningful share of reviewers credit with turning the game around.
6.5 / 10
A souls-like that launched broken and clawed its way to "Mostly Positive" through two years of relentless post-launch support — only to reopen the wound in 2026 by bolting on kernel-level anti-cheat that a fresh wave of reviewers say they can no longer trust.
6.5 / 10
A Kickstarter-Funded Cult Horror Story, One Chapter at a Time Lost Sanity: Cthulhu launched September 2, 2026, from Brazilian studio Manin Studios under publisher ZNT Productions,
6.5 / 10
A full, ground-up remake of the 2002 classic that looks and sounds like the best version of Lost Heaven ever built — undercut by a 2K launcher its own players had to route around, a divisive Terms of Service controversy, and a specific, heavily corroborated argument from longtime fans that the "faithful remake" marketing oversold what got cut.
6.5 / 10
A gorgeous Castlevania-meets-Dark-Souls action RPG whose strong opening hours give way, by a large share of its own reviewers' account, to boss reuse and repetitive combat -- and whose launch was briefly derailed by a real, since-resolved controversy over an overreaching EULA.
6.5 / 10
Bungie's return to its own oldest franchise reimagines Marathon as a stylish PvP extraction shooter, and this review's sample confirms the studio's signature gunplay, art direction, and sound design land as strongly as ever, set against a serious, sustained complaint that the game's hardcore, trios-focused design and total exclusion of Linux/Steam Deck players via BattlEye have limited its audience.
6.5 / 10
Returning to Martha's House for a Tighter, Nastier Sequel Martha's Dolls 2 picks up where the solo-developed first chapter left off, sending a new urban explorer back into
