Big Walk
A co-op game about walking and talking with friends, from the Untitled Goose Game studio — shipped two days ago without a separate voice volume slider, so half its reviews are the same polite request written 1,400 different ways.

Candy Box 2
A free ASCII-art browser game that opens on a candy counter and nothing else, then spends the next several hours quietly revealing a full RPG underneath — one of the genre's founding tricks, and still one of the hardest to pull off honestly.
7.5 / 10
Crimson Desert
Pearl Abyss's massive, visually stunning open-world action-adventure launched to a rocky Mixed reception — a specific, documented 51% positive Steam score in its first days — before climbing to Very Positive within a week and staying there through five months of relentless, near-weekly patches, even as a real, ongoing thread of criticism argues the game never fully shakes its origins as an MMORPG stripped of its multiplayer.
7.5 / 10
Days Gone
An open-world zombie survival game with a genuine cult following that grew after release — launched on PC in 2021 with one of the most severe, best-documented data-collection controversies this library has seen, since resolved with an opt-out but still shaping how the game is remembered.
7.5 / 10
Dragon's Dogma 2
Capcom's open-world action RPG is built around a genuinely strange idea — AI companions on loan from other players' worlds — wrapped in a combat system that rewards climbing monsters like furniture and a map that punishes you for wanting to skip the walk. Two-plus years of patches have quietly answered most of its launch complaints; the review score never fully recovered from asking anyway.
7.5 / 10
Dune: Awakening
A survival MMO that actually earns its licence — stillsuits, spice addiction and sandworms all function as real systems — held back by an endgame that still leans too hard on forced PvP for players who came for the desert, not the fight.
7.5 / 10
Dyson Sphere Program
A factory-automation game whose endgame isn't a bigger number but a visible megastructure eclipsing a star. Five years into Early Access, the premise is still the best in the genre — the question is whether the game around it has caught up.
7.5 / 10
Eden Crafters
A survival-automation game that makes terraforming the actual win condition instead of a late-game side quest, tying every conveyor belt and machine you build to a planet visibly coming back to life around it.
7.5 / 10
Enshrouded
A voxel survival game that welds on a real RPG skill tree and dares you to dig, sculpt and build inside a world that is actively trying to kill you on a clock. Two and a half years into Early Access, with a 1.0 date finally on the calendar, the question is whether the fog and the talent tree were ever really talking to each other.
7.5 / 10
Epic Battle Fantasy 4
The game that Epic Battle Fantasy 5's critics kept holding up as the better one — except it rates two and a half points lower than the sequel they were complaining about.
7.5 / 10
Erenshor
A single-player RPG built to feel like a classic MMORPG raid night, populated entirely by NPC "SimPlayers" who level, group up and loot alongside you — a genuinely novel hook wrapped around an Early Access game still finding its footing on UI, quest clarity and combat feedback.
7.5 / 10
Fallout 4
Bethesda's sprawling open-world RPG has weathered two separate, nearly identical controversies seven years apart — Creation Club's paid mods in 2017, and a 2024 "next-gen update" that broke almost everything the modding community had built to fix it.
7.5 / 10
Farming Simulator 22
A deep, genuinely meditative agricultural sim that reviewers describe finding real therapeutic value in — held back for years by the same specific, franchise-wide complaint about hired-worker AI, and a biennial release cycle some longtime fans feel delivers too little new for the price.
7.5 / 10
Forsaken Realms: Vahrin's Call
Seven people spent twelve years building a handcrafted fantasy RPG where you are nobody special, and it shows in the best and worst ways — superb exploration and a classless build system, wrapped in a technical layer that isn't finished.
7.5 / 10
Forza Horizon 6
Quite possibly the best arcade racer ever made, set in the best map the series has built — and its two most-upvoted negative reviews are from people who couldn't play it because they block telemetry.
7.5 / 10
Grand Theft Auto V
A widely acclaimed single-player crime saga bundled with an online mode whose 2017-2018 wrongful-ban epidemic became one of the most documented anti-cheat fairness disputes on Steam — improved since, but echoed by a related complaint that persists into 2024-2025.
7.5 / 10
Indiana Jones and the Great Circle
A gorgeous, unusually faithful Indiana Jones game with excellent puzzles — and hardware requirements strict enough that its second most-upvoted critic warns you'll discover the problem after the refund window closes.
7.5 / 10
Kenshi
A squad-based open-world RPG with no main quest, no level cap on how far you can fall, and an engine that has been fighting its own interface since a Steam Early Access launch in March 2013 — five and a half years before the "release date" most storefronts show. Its systemic freedom is genuinely unmatched; its performance and UI never caught up to the ambition.
7.5 / 10
Marvel's Spider-Man 2
The best traversal in games, attached to the worst PC port Nixxes have shipped — and a top-voted review that isn't about performance at all, but about the PlayStation runtime the game installs without asking.
7.5 / 10
Marvel's Spider-Man: Miles Morales
An excellent, warm, considerably shorter Spider-Man game — and 42 of its 100 most-helpful negative reviews reach for the same word to explain why they're annoyed: DLC.
7.5 / 10
MIO: Memories in Orbit
A visually stunning metroidvania whose reviews split sharply on one specific mechanic — permanent health loss tied to the story — that several players call the moment the game turns from a favorite into a frustration, and others say isn't nearly as punishing as it's made out to be.
7.5 / 10
Monster Hunter Wilds
Capcom's biggest Monster Hunter yet strips away almost everything that used to make the series hard to love — and a lot of what used to make it worth loving. A phenomenal hunt loop wrapped around a launch-year PC performance crisis and an endgame that shipped thinner than the marketing suggested.
7.5 / 10
Mount & Blade II: Bannerlord
The finest medieval battle simulator ever built, wrapped in a sandbox its own fans say is thinner than the 2010 game it replaced. Its most-upvoted negative review is a list of features Warband had and this doesn't.
7.5 / 10
Oceaneers
Barrel Smash Studios' two-person Early Access debut drowns the world and asks you to build a colony on whatever's still floating — rafts, sinking islands, shark attacks and a corporate conspiracy buried in scavenged bunkers, all wrapped around a Rimworld-flavoured survivor sim.
