Octogun - Idle

A tiny idle arena shooter from Ivy Leaf where an octopus wields eight weapons at once to defend its gold from endless waves, Positive across all 11 reviews for its addictive build variety and rapid launch-week patching — held back by a real lack of late-game difficulty checks and a poorly explained hat-swapping system.

Once Human

A genuinely strange free survival MMO whose defining flaw — seasonal servers that wiped everything you built — has quietly been fixed, while its veterans have moved on to a different argument entirely.

PAYDAY 3

A co-op heist shooter whose Mixed lifetime badge is a fossil of one of the decade's worst launches — always-online even solo, missing basic menu options, paid DLC sold mid-disaster — set against a genuinely verified three-year recovery that has its most recent reviews running 78% positive on the back of monthly updates and a peer-to-peer overhaul.

Portal Dungeon

A Risk of Rain-inspired 2D co-op action roguelite with a genuinely massive item and character roster, praised for surprisingly polished multiplayer and an addictive core loop — hit by specific, well-documented single-player balance and design complaints that an exceptionally dense, still-ongoing patch record has partially, but not completely, resolved.

Prodeus

A pixel-and-polygon retro boomer shooter with weapons, movement and gore its own review base calls some of the best in the genre, undercut for years by a single, near-unanimously criticised design decision — dying carries no real penalty — that the developer only partially addressed roughly a year after its full release.

Remnant II

A "Dark Souls but with guns" sequel widely loved for its procedurally varied worlds and co-op — undercut at launch by a performance controversy specific to its era, with reviewers treating "built with DLSS in mind" as corporate cover for skipped optimisation.

Roll The Bones

A solo-developed bullet-hell roguelite where every spell comes from a six-sided die — reviewed on its complete 20-review sample, which lands squarely in Enter the Gungeon and Nuclear Throne territory while surfacing one real, repeated onboarding complaint worth knowing about first.

Scavland

A hardcore, Stalker-flavoured top-down survival RPG set in a post-Soviet wasteland, earning a Very Positive launch reception for its sound design, combat and atmosphere, tempered by reports of an unreliable save system, a punishing onboarding curve, and its own honest admission that this is Early Access with a long road still ahead.

Service with a Shotgun

A solo developer's chapter-based mashup of visual novel dialogue and chaotic zombie-wave shooting, built around remembering conversation details while fending off the undead, whose witty writing and generous demo win reviewers over even as chapter-to-chapter progress resets and a few underbaked late chapters draw real criticism.

Shadow Warrior

Flying Wild Hog's reboot of the 1997 3D Realms shooter trades the original's crude, now-uncomfortable parody for a genuinely funny buddy-comedy story and some of the most consistently praised melee combat in first-person shooter history — undercut by a specific, well-corroborated critique that the ranged weapons and enemy variety don't hold up nearly as well as the katana does.

Shell of a King

A solo-developed, top-down bullet-hell action-RPG with souls-like combat, built over nearly two years of near-weekly Early Access updates before a full 1.0 release in April 2026 that the developer's own devlog explicitly frames as "officially departing Early Access."

SlimeHold

A roguelite auto-battler where you draft slimes wave by wave, decide which ones hold the line and which roam free, and defend a King who's surrounded on every side rather than tucked behind a lane — a solo debut from Softkeep Studio, reviewed the day after launch.

Sniper Elite 5

A well-loved return to WWII stealth-sniping that launched into the single most-upvoted negative review this library has recorded -- over a forced PvP mechanic penalizing single-player progress -- and has spent the years since accumulating a second, ongoing complaint about DLC pricing that now spans 16 separate add-ons.

SUPERHOT

A landmark first-person shooter where time only moves when you do, Very Positive across more than 16,200 reviews for a genuinely innovative, widely imitated core mechanic — dominated by an extremely consistent complaint that its two-to-three-hour campaign doesn't match its asking price, alongside a specific, repeatedly cited controversy over content the developer removed years after release, a forced third-party launcher, and a real photosensitivity warning several reviewers say the game needs.

Trepang2

A gory, F.E.A.R.-inspired bullet-time FPS praised almost unanimously for gunplay that reviewers say genuinely rivals its inspiration — undercut by a thin, disjointed story and a back half that a substantial share of reviewers say collapses into repetitive horde-defense objectives rather than the level-based tension that made its influences memorable.

Void Miner – Incremental Asteroids Roguelite

A solo developer's debut that welds an automated turret to a twin-stick Asteroids clone, then closes the whole arc out in an afternoon — a sharp, cheap hook let down by a mouse-hostile upgrade screen and a progression curve that peaks right as the credits roll.
