F1 2018

F1 2018 delivers Codemasters' most convincing recreation of Formula 1 physics and career depth at the time of its release, earning real praise from serious sim racers for its handling model and AI. A persistent, specific complaint about neglected multiplayer support and AI collision behavior runs alongside that praise, and like most annual sports licenses, meaningful patching stopped once the next year's title took over.

F1 2020

Codemasters' most polished F1 entry to date, remembered fondly for its new My Team management mode and superb audio — and now a cautionary tale about annual licensed sports games, having since been quietly delisted from Steam entirely.

HOT WHEELS™ Infinite Rush

The third entry in Milestone's Hot Wheels racing series trades the track-based format of Unleashed 1 and 2 for four open-world islands, earning a Mostly Positive launch reception for its arcade handling, nostalgic Acceleracers and Highway 35 car roster and soundtrack, tempered by honest reviewer complaints about a heavier post-engine-switch feel, aggressive DLC monetisation, and real launch-week technical bugs.

Star Trucker

An Americana-infused space trucking sim that launched without control remapping — locking out at least one player with a physical disability entirely — before a fast fix and nearly two years of steady, ongoing support. This review reads the whole arc, not just the rocky opening week.

The Loopler

A roguelite deckbuilder from solo developer Mheep about a slot car endlessly circling a loop, drafting cards and charms to chase ever-higher scores, earning an overwhelmingly Positive launch reception for its build variety and hypnotic feel, tempered by a specific reviewer complaint about its price relative to its depth.

The Precinct

A neon-noir open-world cop sandbox that lets you play the officer instead of the criminal for once — a genuinely rare premise reviewers say the atmosphere and driving feel earn honestly, undercut by an arrest procedure with almost no real detective work and enough missing basic polish that a large share of its 9,241-review audience describes a game shipped one development cycle short of its own ambitions.

Trackmania

A "simple to learn, hard to master" arcade racer reboot with a genuinely excellent driving model and endless player-made tracks, undercut by a free-to-play label reviewers argue is misleading given how much content sits behind a recurring Club subscription that has narrowed further since launch.

Wheel World

An open-world cycling adventure from Messhof (Nidhogg) and Annapurna Interactive that reviewers repeatedly describe as a genuine, sincere love letter to bike culture, undercut for a large and specific share of the same corpus by a second "world" where collision physics with rival racers turn contact-heavy races into unpredictable, restart-heavy frustration.

Assetto Corsa EVO

Nineteen months into Early Access, the driving model is superb and the game around it has been getting smaller — the career economy was removed in February 2026, and the open world people bought it for still isn't here.

Backseat

A first-person psychological taxi-horror game where every night-shift passenger might be a dangerous stranger, earning a Mostly Positive launch reception for its tense, original premise and multiple endings, tempered by widespread reviewer complaints about repetition, driving bugs, and a story that outstays its own welcome.

DiRT Rally 2.0

A technically excellent, punishing rally simulator that improves on its acclaimed predecessor's driving feel — undercut by an always-online career mode that has repeatedly wiped players' progress, and a post-launch DLC structure several reviewers call a bait-and-switch.

Frog & Roll

A first-person precision platformer that repackages the free Source-engine movement scene — surf, bhop and climb, born in Half-Life and Counter-Strike 1.6 mods — as a standalone Steam release with themed maps, Steam Achievements and leaderboards to chase. Released 6 August 2026 with no user-review corpus yet to weigh it against.

Tricky Madness

A solo-developed arcade snowboarding game explicitly channeling SSX and 1080°, whose core feel and nostalgia earn deep, emotional praise from genre veterans, tempered by a large, specific negative-review consensus that the Early Access content roster remains thin, and by a directly confirmed roughly six-month development gap in late 2024 and early 2025 that several reviewers characterized as abandonment before support resumed.

War Thunder

The most technically ambitious combat sim on Steam — planes, tanks and ships in one engine, free to install, twelve years of updates. Its 35 add-ons total more than NZ$2,100, and after a decade the single most consistent thing players say about it is that the grind is designed to sell you out of itself.
