Star Trek: Infection

Star Trek: Infection is a $29.99 VR-only survival horror game from developer and publisher Played with Fire, casting players as a Vulcan Starfleet officer facing a body-mutating outbreak aboard the U.S.S. Lumen, and this review's Mixed sample splits sharply between praise for its authentic atmosphere and voice acting and serious complaints about game-breaking bugs and performance.

Stolen Realm Survivors

A co-op survivors-like set in the Stolen Realm universe whose 1.0 launch a large number of reviewers say is functionally identical to the free demo and playtest builds they'd already finished, with marketed content still absent, though a genuinely low price and an actively updating developer soften the backlash for some.

Sudden Strike 5

A WWII real-time tactics sequel that splits its own franchise fanbase cleanly along generational lines — veterans of the original 2000s-era Sudden Strike games praising a return to slower, deliberate tactical pacing, while fans of the more recent Sudden Strike 4 report a barebones, overpriced downgrade with worse graphics, thin multiplayer and unrealistic combat balance.

Survive the Fall

An isometric post-apocalyptic RPG blending Mutant Year Zero-style exploration with base management and real-time tactical combat, Survive the Fall earns genuine praise for its atmosphere and ambition from a small Polish studio, but a heavily corroborated majority of reviewers report the game launched with serious bugs, unbalanced base-and-scavenging economy, and pacing problems severe enough that many argue it should have entered Early Access rather than shipped as a full release.

SWORD ART ONLINE Alicization Lycoris

A licensed action RPG retelling Sword Art Online's Alicization arc, with combat fans genuinely like buried under launch-week performance problems, a slow first act that plays more like a visual novel than a game, and a gacha loot-box layer stacked on top of an already full-price purchase.

Sword Art Online: Fatal Bullet

A Gun Gale Online action RPG built around the promise that "you are the protagonist," Mostly Positive across more than 15,000 reviews for its loot-and-shooting loop — undercut by a currently active Denuvo and anti-cheat problem blocking play for many owners, and by a persistent complaint that the game can't resist making the story about an existing anime character instead.

Tank Squad

A small five-person Polish studio's ambitious crew-role WWII tank sim launched in a rough, unfinished state after its publisher reportedly pulled funding overnight, and while reviewers consistently praise the concept and the developers' visible post-launch effort, an equally consistent chorus of bugs, broken AI, and cluttered UI complaints makes clear this is a game still finding its footing.

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Empire City

A VR open-world beat-em-up whose parkour movement and genuine TMNT fan service earn real praise, undermined by broken grip controls on Index headsets, a small and lifeless open-world hub, shallow repetitive combat, and a co-op multiplayer system reviewers say only works via private room codes rather than public matchmaking.

Terminull Brigade Review: A Fun Roguelite Buried Under Stutters and Suspicion

Pew Pew Games' free-to-play co-op roguelite shooter has a genuinely enjoyable Hades-meets-Warframe core, but persistent performance issues, an unpopular kernel-level anti-cheat, and a review-bombing Discord promotion have left it drowning in Mixed reviews.

That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Tyrant God

A NZ$6.39 mouse-driven incremental about melting waves of monsters and climbing a permanent upgrade tree. Its isekai title promises an RPG that isn't there, its most useful reviews are barely 90 minutes long, and a late-game visual effect has drawn a genuine photosensitivity warning with no in-game way to turn it off.

The Host: Cataclysm

The Host: Cataclysm is an ambitious, up-to-eight-player post-apocalyptic fantasy RPG about hunting colossal world bosses across a fractured world, and this review's most notable finding is that it has attracted zero public reviews in the six months since launch, despite the game's own achievement data showing a real, if small, playerbase actually fought through it.

The Last Oricru

A scrappy, choice-driven Eurojank RPG that launched buggy enough to land on Metacritic's worst-of-2022 list, then spent the following year patching its way toward the more competent game its ambitious branching story always deserved.

Tidal Nexus Online

A free-to-play underwater submarine MMO explicitly chasing the nostalgia of 2000s browser PvP games like DarkOrbit and Deepolis, with genuine strategic clan warfare underneath — undercut on day one by a monetisation model reviewers describe, overwhelmingly and specifically, as pay-to-win.

Tower of Fantasy

An open-world sci-fi gacha ARPG with real exploration and character-design appeal, whose review score is being shaped less by its combat or its shop than by an account-migration process that a large, consistent share of returning players say permanently deleted hundreds of hours and real money without adequate warning.

Trinity Trigger

A Secret of Mana homage so direct that both its critics and its fans reach for the same comparison unprompted — undercut by a self-inflicted design choice that locks its headline co-op feature behind three hours of solo play, well past Steam's own refund window.

Vanguard: Idle Auto Battler

A cheap, small-studio idle auto battler with a workable persistent-upgrade loop, undercut by a very small early review sample that's split on whether the core auto-battle feature even works as advertised, plus a confirmed absence of cloud saves and a widely-reported thinness of content just two days after launch.

Wolfenstein: Youngblood

A co-op spinoff whose launch-era complaint — unwanted RPG and looter-shooter systems grafted onto a beloved franchise — never really faded, and whose recent sentiment has fallen further still for a distinct, structural reason this review independently confirmed: the free Buddy Pass trial that let a friend join your co-op game at no cost has been delisted from Steam.

World of Tanks

A veteran-defined tank warfare MMO whose Steam launch stumbled over locked-out existing accounts in 2021, and whose long, escalating pay-to-win reputation reached a documented breaking point in May 2025 when Wargaming introduced tiered loot boxes that sent its most invested ten-year players heading for the exit.

Zombie Army 4: Dead War

A fun, arcade-y co-op shooter pitting up to four players against occult Nazi zombie hordes, undermined almost universally by a DLC structure reviewers describe as locking the vast majority of the game's weapons and cosmetics behind a season-pass paywall that costs more than the base game itself.

Dinos Falling

Dinos Falling is a $0.99 three-player co-op platformer from developer GAMEATOM about clumsy dinosaurs escaping a trap-filled city, and this review's full 4-review sample is unanimously positive, praising genuine, chaotic laughter with friends, undercut by every single reviewer independently wishing there were more than one level to play.
