DELTARUNE
98.1% positive across 127,913 reviews, and every future chapter is a free update — an RPG that is both one of the best-reviewed games on Steam and an argument about what a full-price purchase should buy you.

DOOM (2016)
One of the most acclaimed shooters of its generation, still Overwhelmingly Positive a decade on with recent sentiment running even stronger than its already-elite lifetime score — its few substantive complaints are a matter of taste (some find the campaign repetitive) and a largely historical, patched save-wiping bug from launch week, not anything currently live.
9 / 10
ULTRAKILL
97.4% positive across 239,293 reviews, still in Early Access after nearly six years — and it set its all-time player record in February 2026, more than five years after launch.
9 / 10
Undertale
A decade-old solo-developed RPG that redefined what a choice-driven combat system could mean, sitting at Overwhelmingly Positive across a third of a million reviews. The recurring negative review isn't a criticism of the game so much as a criticism of how impossible it is to live up to its own reputation.
9 / 10
Deep Rock Galactic
Ghost Ship Games built a co-op shooter around a cave that isn't scenery — it's a resource you carve your own path through, and the four classes exist specifically to argue about how.
8.7 / 10
Crab Champions
A roguelite shooter about a crab with a gun, 98% positive across 26,943 English reviews — and the only people complaining have sixty to two hundred hours in it and think the balance patches ruined their favourite build.
8.5 / 10
DOOM Eternal
A visually spectacular, mechanically excellent shooter that reshaped its predecessor's combat into a more demanding resource-management loop some veterans call a chore rather than an improvement — and whose negative sample still carries two well-documented controversies years later: a 2020 kernel-level anti-cheat scandal (since removed) and an ongoing protest over id Software's treatment of composer Mick Gordon.
8.5 / 10
Enter the Gungeon
A genre-defining bullet-hell roguelike about diving through a fortress of guns to find the one weapon that can kill the past — nearly a decade old and still Overwhelmingly Positive across almost 80,000 reviews, with fans logging thousands of hours apiece, undercut by a steep, RNG-heavy difficulty curve and a still-raw 2025 controversy over online co-op arriving on mobile years before it ever reached PC or console.

MOBU Review
Monks, Not Mechs MOBU, released July 16, 2026 by developer and publisher Saidera Studio, is a $5.99 arena shooter with roguelite bones, where players control a superpowered monk fi

Neon White
A first-person speedrunning platformer built around discarding cards for guns or traversal tricks, whose movement design earns some of the most enthusiastic praise this library has documented, attached to a visual-novel dating-sim story its own fanbase mocks almost unanimously while still recommending the game without hesitation.
8.5 / 10
NieR:Automata
A genuine landmark action RPG whose Steam version spent four years as a warning label of its own — a beloved, philosophically ambitious game shipped in a technically broken PC port that Square Enix quietly fixed on a different storefront first.
8.5 / 10
Pathogenic
A hundred thousand copies in its first week, and deservedly — you play a single parasite tearing organelles out of immune cells and grafting them onto your own body. The best twin-stick roguelite of the year so far, with one genuinely misleading line on its store page.
8.5 / 10
Rabbit and Steel
MMO raid mechanics compressed into a 40-minute co-op roguelike, 97.9% positive with a perfect recent record — and a colour-clarity problem that kills players through no fault of their own.
8.5 / 10
Team Fortress 2
In 2024 its players review-bombed it out of love, demanding Valve fix the bots. Two years on, negative reviews have collapsed to a handful a year and 94 of the last 100 are positive. The campaign worked.
8.5 / 10
The Binding of Isaac: Rebirth
The roguelike that taught the genre what item synergy could be, at 97% across 439,000 reviews. Twelve years and hundreds of items later, its most experienced players are asking whether it now has too many.
8.5 / 10
Truxton Extreme
A modern 3D reimagining of Toaplan's 1988 arcade shmup Truxton, made by the original studio with the original director returning — and received with a depth of emotion this genre rarely gets from reviewers who never expected to see this series again.
8.5 / 10
XENOTILT: HOSTILE PINBALL ACTION
A sequel to the cult favourite Demon's Tilt that hands the ball a gun. The turret system, a nine-perk build layer and a three-story derelict-ship table make this one of the most inventive pinball games in years — provided your eyes can keep up with it.
8.4 / 10
Doloc Town
A side-scrolling farming sim that spent roughly fifteen months in Early Access before its 5 August 2026 graduation to 1.0, pairing Stardew-style crop and relationship systems with vertical platform building, gene-splicing crops, and bullet-hell drone combat against the ruins of a collapsed world.

Future Knight Review: A Retro-LCD Shoot 'Em Up With an Acapella Soul
A fast, punchy 2D shoot 'em up that channels vintage Tiger LCD handhelds into a bizarre time-travel story, earning near-unanimous praise for its ink-drawn art style and acapella soundtrack, tempered by one detailed review arguing it's a lesser retread of its developer's previous game.

Astroblast
A polished Asteroids-style shooter built on the LittleJS engine — rotate, thrust, and blast splitting rocks with a real analog stick and buttons that render as a large, well-placed touch overlay, confirmed with genuine score-changing hits on both phone and desktop.
8 / 10
Borderlands 2
Gearbox's genre-defining looter-shooter sequel remains a co-op favorite over a decade on, with reviewers consistently steering new buyers toward the Handsome Collection bundle instead of this base listing — and, more recently, a large wave of review-bombing tied to a wider Take-Two terms-of-service controversy that appears to have quieted by late 2026.

Brotato
Blobfish's one-person arena shooter hands a potato six weapon slots and lets stat stacking do the rest — a review of how far chips-in-the-shop decision-making carries a twenty-wave run, and where the plain presentation and a few solved builds hold it back.
8 / 10
Bullet Heaven 2
A solo developer's hand-drawn bullet-hell shoot-em-up from the Epic Battle Fantasy universe, seven years before "bullet heaven" became a genre label for something else entirely — reviewed on its seventy stages, its scalable difficulty, and the Flash-era tech it still carries.
