Dead Island 2

A genuinely fun, gory open-world zombie brawler whose Steam release — arriving a year after the game's original 2023 launch specifically to escape Epic Games Store exclusivity — forces Epic Online Services onto players anyway, producing some of the angriest, most-detailed technical reviews in this library's coverage.

D.E.C.A.Y. Review

A VR-Only Wasteland From a Studio That Knows the Genre D.E.C.A.Y. is a VR-exclusive survival shooter that casts you as the operator of a remote bunker in a scorched, post-apocalypt

Deliverage

A hardcore, Motor Town-inspired open-world PvP delivery game where hauling cargo, dodging bandits, and laundering black-market money form a genuinely addictive risk-reward loop, though a launch riddled with jank, punishing death penalties, and rough performance keeps it firmly in rough-diamond territory.

Deliver At All Costs

KONAMI-published Deliver At All Costs sends down-on-his-luck courier Winston Green smashing through buildings on chaotic isometric delivery runs, and reviewers agree the destruction physics and driving feel are genuinely great fun, but a heavily corroborated majority report the novelty wears off within the first act, buried beneath repetitive missions and an over-long, unsatisfying story told mostly through cutscenes.

Deus Ex: Human Revolution - Director's Cut

A genuinely excellent cyberpunk immersive-sim RPG, still Very Positive across more than 25,000 reviews — sold today only in a Director's Cut re-release that a remarkably consistent, thirteen-year span of reviews describes as built on an older, buggier, worse-performing base than the original 2011 game it replaced.

Digital Survivor

A neon bullet-heaven roguelite from solo developer and YouTuber Henrik "WackyJacky101" Kjærulff, built on AI-assisted code and art, tasking players with auto-firing through endless digital swarms while evolving and modding weapons, earning a Positive launch reception for its content depth and music, tempered by an honest reviewer complaint about serious frame-rate stutter and a live monetisation layer.

Duet Night Abyss

A free-to-play action RPG that launched with a genuinely rare promise — no gacha for characters or weapons — and won real goodwill for it, before its own launcher distributed actual credential-stealing malware to players twice in the space of a month.

Duil

Solo developer JL studio delivers Duil, a dark, pixel-art action-platformer about an immortal man seeking revenge on the undead army that destroyed his kingdom, earning praise for its atmosphere, power-up variety and branching mercy-or-vengeance choices from a small but strongly Positive review base, tempered by a repeated complaint about rough controls, a punishing death-and-resurrection mechanic, and confusing non-linear backtracking.

Dumb Ways to Build

A chaotic, physics-based co-op construction game from the Dumb Ways to Die studio that draws near-unanimous laughter and praise from players who can actually connect, undercut by a severe, fully corroborated multiplayer server failure that this review found leaving an entire Chinese-language review pool unable to connect at all, alongside honest complaints about a short, three-level campaign.

Dungreed

Dungreed sends a lone adventurer into an endlessly regenerating dungeon to rescue a destroyed town, mixing roguelite runs with a persistent hub players slowly rebuild between attempts. Its loot variety and moment-to-moment combat earn steady, if modest, praise, while a cluster of specific complaints about controls, balance, and repetition follow it just as consistently.

Eastern Exorcist

A wuxia-mythology 2D action platformer from Chinese studio Wildfire Game, Very Positive across its Steam reviews for its beautiful hand-drawn art and distinctive setting — undercut by an extremely consistent complaint about imprecise, cumbersome combat and launch-window bugs that blocked some players from finishing the tutorial, though this review confirmed the developer patched several of the most-reported issues within weeks.

EDENS ZERO Review: A Scrappy, Sincere Trip Through Hiro Mashima's Cosmos

KONAMI's action-RPG adaptation of Hiro Mashima's manga trades budget and polish for genuine affection for its source material, delivering a combat system that starts stiff but blossoms, a story that ends before it should, and one of the deepest costume systems in anime gaming.

Elderand

A Lovecraftian dark-fantasy action RPG with beautiful pixel art and Castlevania-inspired combat, held back by a real difficulty spike partway through, combat some reviewers call clunky, and a "Metroidvania" label several reviewers say oversells how linear its world actually is.

Empyreal

An ambitious sci-fi/fantasy action RPG from small AA studio Silent Games, Empyreal sends an Expedition to explore a colossal alien Monolith, offering generous, rewarding loot and genuinely engaging exploration that earns real praise for a small team's achievement, but combat that many reviewers describe as janky until it "clicks," unfair late-game stunlock difficulty spikes, and a repetitive mission structure leave a meaningful share of its review sample unable to fully recommend it.

Enclave

A 2002 dual-campaign medieval action RPG from Starbreeze that lets players fight through the same conflict from the Light and Dark sides, whose combat draws some of the most extreme, directly opposed reactions of any review sample this session found — "satisfying and skill-based" to some, "the worst combat I have ever seen in an RPG" to others.

Fable Anniversary

A beloved 2004 action RPG trapped inside a decade-plus of consistent "lazy remaster" complaints — no PC mouse support, camera and performance issues still reported in 2026 — with reviewers steadily recommending the older, cheaper Fable: The Lost Chapters instead.
