A free, Monty Python-flavoured rage platformer in the Getting Over It tradition, whose review section is mostly a running joke — but the two reviewers who wrote anything substantive independently flag the same real problem lurking under the intentional cruelty.
6.5 / 10
Talkinguns, a small collective that grew from a solo developer's alias, delivers a grotesque, wave-based roguelike shooter about a plague-mutated doctor fighting for survival in a rotting kingdom, earning genuine praise for its atmosphere and fast, build-driven runs even as a thin but specific and consistent thread of its reviews flags bugs, input softlocks and limited content variety.
6.5 / 10
A wonderfully creative, Splatoon-and-It-Takes-Two-flavoured co-op match-three puzzle-platformer from Hypergryph, whose Very Positive score coexists with an extraordinarily well-documented, months-unresolved netcode problem that spikes online ping to 999ms and freezes players out of boss fights entirely.
6.5 / 10
Hyper Light Drifter developer Heart Machine, published by Devolver Digital, delivers a metroidvania about a college student and the demon sharing her body, earning near-unanimous, specific praise for its art direction, soundtrack and emotionally charged writing from a Mostly Positive review base, tempered by a genuinely divided and heavily repeated complaint that its combat, traversal and technical polish fall well short of the studio's earlier work.
6.5 / 10
Aussie Rules Meets NBA Jam, With a Deck of Cards Bolted On Pro Jank Footy is Powerbomb Games and Tinker Town's pixel-art arcade take on Australian Rules football, and it wears
6.5 / 10
A Neon Arena That Grows Teeth As You Survive Pulse://Void is a synthwave-soaked entry in the bullet-heaven genre popularized by Vampire Survivors: you pilot a small ship (or, in on
6.5 / 10
A monster-girl hack-and-slash RPG from prolific studio eTIRUe, praised by its existing fanbase for its most ambitious cast and combat system yet but held back at launch by bugs, repetitive grinding, and uneven character balance.
6.5 / 10
A hidden-object horror game from solo developer froggyrs about working the night shift in a library while an intruder lurks, drawing a small but entirely positive English review sample that praises its tense, unique atmosphere and skill-based progression while repeatedly flagging a severe, corroborated audio-accessibility problem in its core threat-detection mechanic.
6.5 / 10
id Software's gunplay is close to universally praised even by critical reviewers, but a launch-era complaint about mandatory Rage Coin virtual currency gating DLC purchases has since largely faded, leaving a more durable, unresolved complaint about a short campaign and an open world reviewers across every year describe as colourful but empty.
6.5 / 10
Random Chaos Dungeon is a free co-op roguelike from solo developer denhonator where the enemies, bosses, and even their attacks are randomly generated, and this review's full 22-review sample, Positive overall (20:2), credits a genuinely chaotic and replayable hook backed by six months of visible, hands-on solo patching, undercut by a rough launch-state tutorial gap the developer later fixed directly.
6.5 / 10
A Sixtieth Consecutive Launch Without a Single Review Realms Of Wands launched on Steam on 21 August 2026 from developer Lumenrift Games, and at the time of writing it has zero use
6.5 / 10
A tense, visually stunning remake of the 1999 survival horror classic that nearly every reviewer enjoys playing, undermined almost universally by a campaign reviewers describe as too short and too stripped of the original's content to justify a full-price purchase.
6.5 / 10
Capcom finally brings the original 1996 Resident Evil to Steam in its most complete PC form yet, complete with restored uncut gore, but a new anti-tamper DRM layer undercuts what should have been a flawless victory lap.
6.5 / 10
Raccoon Logic's spiritual follow-up to Journey to the Savage Planet swaps first-person for third and adds co-op, landing a Very Positive reception for its charm, humour, and no-microtransactions design, weighed down by a heavily corroborated cluster of performance problems and co-op-breaking bugs that several reviewers say kept the game from reaching the polish of its predecessor.
6.5 / 10
A first-person psychological horror game that flips the Tamagotchi premise so the player is the pet, earning a small but unanimously positive launch reception for its striking concept and genuine scares, tempered by one reviewer's honest note that the localisation feels rough.
6.5 / 10
A chaotic 1-4 player co-op roguelite about capturing ghost trains from a haunted steampunk locomotive, praised almost unanimously for its unique premise and escalating chaos, though its very small review sample and a handful of launch-bug reports leave some open questions.
6.5 / 10
A co-op PvE looter-shooter action RPG about squads of "Weavers" raiding hostile rifts for loot -- a Very Positive Early Access opener with a genuinely large review base, undercut for a vocal minority by an always-online requirement that costs solo players their progress on disconnect, and by a studio whose past Web3/NFT branding this review confirms is kept entirely separate from, and not required to play, the actual Steam game.
6.5 / 10
Reviewed the same day as its predecessor, this sequel trades Risen's dark, mystic fantasy world for a colonial pirate setting that a meaningful share of longtime fans describe as a worse, more streamlined direction — layered on top of a distinct, still-active crash bug tied to teleporting between towns, corroborated as recently as April 2026.
6.5 / 10
Team Ninja's first open-world game drops a customisable swordfighter into the political chaos of 1860s Japan with combat critics and players agree is excellent, wrapped in a formulaic open world and a faction story that loses its grip in the second half — and, a year later, arrived on PC in a state so badly optimised that its own Steam review base talks about little else.
6.5 / 10
A faithful, genuinely loved power-fantasy shooter that nails what fans wanted from a RoboCop game, undermined by a chronic crash-and-corrupted-save problem that hasn't faded with age the way launch bugs usually do, compounded by publisher Nacon's real 2026 insolvency filing.
6.5 / 10
A visually stunning, solo-developed souls-like roguelite pairing Salt and Sanctuary aesthetics with a Slay the Spire-style map, whose art, atmosphere and boss design draw near-universal praise, undercut by a detailed, credible minority critique describing genuinely shallow combat, near-total absence of build variety and synergy, and repetitive boss encounters once the early hours wear off.
6.5 / 10
A single-run, high-score arcade roguelike that grafts Breakout's paddle-and-bricks loop onto item-build synergy from over 120 randomised pickups, with permadeath ending every attempt and no persistent carryover between runs. Released 5 August 2026 with no user reviews and no press coverage yet.
6.5 / 10
A visually gorgeous, hand-animated Smash Bros-style platform fighter built entirely around reimagined public-domain characters, widely praised for its art, music and welcoming accessibility, undercut by a genuine identity crisis between competitive and party-game design, a small fourteen-character roster with only three or four attacks each, and launch-week technical rough edges the developer has been patching quickly.
6.5 / 10
A hand-drawn 2D soulslike RPG that folds Dark Souls-style combat and progression into a Metroidvania structure, Very Positive across more than 20,000 reviews — undercut for a large share of players by the total absence of an in-game map, and stirred up again eight years after launch by a difficulty-altering patch whose true authorship reviewers and press coverage don't fully agree on.
