A follow-up to the breakout anomaly-hunting horror hit trades some of the original's restraint for a heavier story and a punishing new failure-state mechanic, delivering one of 2026's more emotionally affecting horror shorts alongside real, specific frustrations.
6.5 / 10
Sitting Down at Death's Table Cheat Death puts you across a felt-covered table from the Grim Reaper himself, wagering your life on hands of dice poker instead of the usual rogu
6.5 / 10
A viral co-op horror game about filming your friends' terrified reactions to sell to a fictional streaming platform, made by a small team at Landfall in a matter of weeks and given away free on its first day, whose short-session chaos won over millions of players even as a large, consistent complaint argues its handful of maps and monsters run out of surprises within a few sessions.
6.5 / 10
The fourth entry in a dark-fairytale puzzle-adventure series, sending an ordinary fishing trip somewhere far stranger, whose hand-drawn art, voice acting, and refined puzzle design earn continued affection from series fans, tempered by a small but specific chorus finding this the shortest, easiest, and least atmospheric entry so far.
6.5 / 10
Bloober Team's first original survival-horror IP since remaking Silent Hill 2 pairs a genuinely inventive enemy-merging system with the same Unreal Engine 5 stuttering that dogged that remake — a well-reviewed but sharply contested game whose art direction and sound consistently earn praise even from reviewers who call the writing generic and the frame pacing broken on top-tier hardware.
6.5 / 10
A mascot-horror puzzle game from debut studio Skunx Games set in an abandoned children's asylum, rated Very Positive across a large English review sample for its creative, clearly communicated puzzles, tempered by fair complaints about frustrating chase sequences and inconsistent tonal execution.
6.5 / 10
A comedic asymmetrical survival horror game about stealing soda across broken timelines while evading a cast of chasing monsters, praised by a devoted fanbase for its writing, replayability, and mechanical depth, but held back at Early Access launch by a punishing lack of onboarding, severe load times, and inconsistent difficulty.
6.5 / 10
A short, 2D side-scrolling escape-room horror game about a memoryless girl exploring a trap-filled castle, praised for its art, music, and satisfying multiple-ending structure, but criticized by a minority for simple puzzles, a thin story, and a runtime some felt was too short to leave much impression.
6.5 / 10
A long-delayed, darker Digimon story that both its fans and its critics agree is a visual novel first and a tactical RPG a distant second -- and whose own trailers, by wide reviewer account, misled buyers about exactly that ratio.
6.5 / 10
Supermassive set up the best premise they've ever had — a shapeshifting alien aboard a crashed colony ship, where the horror is not trusting the crew — and then spent the second half forgetting to use it.
6.5 / 10
A post-Soviet extraction horror shooter where a creature hunts you by your heartbeat — reviewed on its full English review sample, a dated patch that directly addressed the mechanic's loudest complaint, and a real mismatch between its co-op marketing history and its shipped build.
6.5 / 10
A Clone Crew, A Ticking Clock, And Priceless Space Junk DREGS, developed and published by debut studio T-Minus Zero Entertainment, shadow-dropped into Steam Early Access on July 17
6.5 / 10
A grotesque, wonderfully strange PS1-horror-flavoured roguelike dungeon crawler with one of the most original mechanics in the genre this year — undercut hard by a long list of crashes, save corruption and frame-rate collapses that its solo developer left largely unaddressed for a year and a half.
6.5 / 10
A celebrated parkour-and-zombies open world whose negative sample carries two distinct complaints — a years-long "fake co-op" structural gripe where only the host keeps quest progress, and a brand-new controversy from June 2026, when a patch cut roughly two hours from the acclaimed opening prologue, confirmed against the game's own official patch notes.
6.5 / 10
A short, psychedelic first-person thriller about hacking into memories, wrapped in cyber-noir dread and dream-logic puzzles.
6.5 / 10
A genuinely inspired Victorian-fantasy metroidvania recasting Ebenezer Scrooge as an action hero fighting alongside ghosts, praised for its hand-drawn art and clever Dickens adaptation — hit at launch by real, widely-documented movement, level-design and control complaints that a major patch nearly two years later addressed almost point for point.
6.5 / 10
A love letter to Max Payne fighting vampires and werewolves instead of mobsters, praised almost unanimously for its atmosphere, voice acting and emotionally affecting story — undercut by a well-documented, mechanically specific problem where its signature bullet-time dive, built to counter gunmen, actively works against the melee-focused enemies that make up most of the cast.
6.5 / 10
A Fifty-Fifth Consecutive Launch Without a Single Review Eternal Levels launched on Steam on 28 August 2026, and at the time of writing it has zero user reviews. That's a meani
6.5 / 10
A solo developer's brutal survival-horror JRPG sequel with a devoted, near-unanimous cult following -- undercut consistently, across its own review corpus, by a save system reviewers say punishes patience as harshly as it punishes mistakes.
6.5 / 10
A short, cheap first-person psychological horror game about a grieving, guilt-ridden widower haunted by something inexplicable in his own home, praised as an impressive solo-developer debut with genuine atmosphere, but let down by loud, cheap jumpscares and a punishing lack of checkpoints.
6.5 / 10
A solo-developed BL suspense visual novel about cannibalism, class and a very literal kind of appetite, two days into Early Access with zero Steam reviews yet — reviewed on the developer's own Early Access FAQ, patch history and a genuinely positive 18-month demo record.
6.5 / 10
A Small, Unanimously Positive Chase Horror Debut Frost-Buried Truth, released August 12, 2026 by solo-ish developer DIBATAG WORKS, is a first-person survival horror game built enti
6.5 / 10
A desktop-simulator horror-mystery sequel centered on a forgotten Counter-Strike-inspired game frozen in time, praised for its nostalgic detail and multiple-ending structure but held back by a short runtime, inconsistent puzzle difficulty, and thin overarching story.
6.5 / 10
The Ghost Master Successor Nobody Else Was Making Ghost Master, the 2003 cult strategy game where you played a spectral villain terrorizing the living instead of defending against
