Pillazon: MMO Drug Lord Tycoon
A dark-comedy business simulator about running an online drug empire, launched into Early Access in January 2023 by solo developer PiCorp and left there, seemingly untouched, ever since.

The Settlers: New Allies
Ubisoft's revival of one of PC strategy gaming's most beloved franchises launched broken, redesigned around combat its own decades-long fans say abandoned what made the series special, and has received exactly three news posts in over two years — this review reads the whole arc, including the rival made by the original series' own former developers that fans now point to instead.
4 / 10
Necromancer Accountant
A genuinely funny, distinctive premise — an undead bureaucrat balancing a skeleton army's budget — undercut by a near-total lack of onboarding, painfully mismatched sound design, and a missing save feature that's gone unpatched since the game's 2017 release.
3.8 / 10
Dinosaur Park – Primeval Zoo
A free dinosaur-zoo tycoon with genuine charm for young dino fans, undercut by aggressive, repeatedly reported cash-shop pressure, real technical instability spanning years of reviews, and a specific age-verification bug several adult players report locks them out entirely.
3.6 / 10
Ironsmith Medieval Simulator
A blacksmithing sim with a genuinely appealing pitch — forge weapons, armor and tools in a sandbox medieval town — undercut by a buggy, unfinished launch its own reviewers call abandoned, backed by a Steam listing that has had no update and zero recorded players since release day.
3.6 / 10
AsteroIdle
A space-mining idle game that patched hard for ten straight months after its August 2022 Early Access launch, then went quiet in mid-2023 with its progression math still broken — four years and no 1.0 later, its own most dedicated reviewers call it the worst idle game they've played.
3.5 / 10
Bitcoin Mining Tycoon
Fury Games Production's 2018 budget clicker promises a tycoon and delivers a five-achievement tap loop that its own tiny review base says is finished, and forgotten, within an afternoon.
3.5 / 10
Farming Tractor Simulator 2021: Farmer Life
A budget tractor-and-crop sim from Gameza Studio that asks under three dollars and, going by its own tiny review sample, mostly delivers a stuck tractor, a touchy camera and an arbitrary plowing timer for the price.
3.5 / 10
Prison Life Sim 2026 - Survival
A first-person prison survival sim that launched into Early Access on 5 August 2026 with a broken opening objective — every one of its first user reviews describes the morning roll call softlocking progress, and a hotfix the next day only partly closed the gap between the pitch and the build.
3.5 / 10
Space Colonizers Idle Clicker
A NZ$3.69 mobile port that charges upfront and then layers in-app purchases on top anyway — the single complaint its small review corpus has repeated, unprompted, for eight straight years, alongside a progression wall around planet 40-60 and a broken "offline progress" promise that shows up twice, four years apart.
3.5 / 10
Sky Haven Tycoon - Airport Simulator
A genuinely well-regarded airport-management sim with a distinct, ground-handling-focused concept praised even by many critics, confirmed abandoned by this review's own check of a three-year Steam news silence — leaving a real, unfinished game for sale with no further development in sight.
3.4 / 10
Dungeon Builder S
A one-person dungeon-management sim where you wall off rooms, seed traps and synthesise monsters to grind down invading adventurers. The pitch has real bones, but its entire English Steam review history — three reviews, all negative — describes a game that stopped short of finishing itself.
3.2 / 10
Gladiators Of The Arena
A one-developer gladiator hack-and-slash that launched in 2018 as a stripped-down single-player sliver of a much bigger multiplayer Roman-arena RPG its own official website still describes as "upcoming" and "in alpha" — three Steam reviews total, and the one detailed negative report says the settings menu doesn't work.
3.2 / 10
Haunted House Renovator
A genuinely likeable spin on the House-Flipper renovation genre, with a real ghost-catching hook reviewers enjoyed for months — undercut by severe, persistent bugs and a rights transfer to a new studio that this review independently confirmed via a year of Steam silence, exactly matching multiple reviewers' abandonment claims.
3.2 / 10
Bitcoin Tycoon - Mining Simulation Game
A genuinely novel premise — build a crypto-mining empire starting in 2014 — abandoned by its developer mid-development, left with a reported unwinnable debt bug that can end a run outright, and dogged by real performance and security concerns this review could not fully resolve.
3 / 10
Boss Beek-Beekeeping Simulator
A solo-developed beekeeping sim with real, specific depth that actual beekeepers among its tiny review sample genuinely admire — buried under a total absence of any tutorial, a broken hiring feature, and a game the developer never patched after its 2022 release.
3 / 10
Chests, City, Clicker
A free pixel-art clicker from developer E-Crew, built on the same chest-and-card "idle collectible" template as Adventure Communist and Cell to Singularity, abandoned six weeks after its March 2023 launch.
3 / 10
Colonies of The Remnant
A post-apocalyptic colony-survival shooter whose Early Access launch drew one of the most lopsided negative receptions this library has documented — and a same-day developer admission, unusually honest for how bad the reviews were, that quick fixes won't be enough.
3 / 10
Idle magic herb
A NZ$6.29 xianxia-themed idle herb farm from a Chinese solo developer who shipped a near-identical idle game five weeks earlier — a decorative thousand-card compendium and an auto-battling cultivator sit on top of a loop with exactly one real decision, and both patches and the developer's attention stopped inside the first week.
3 / 10
MOON BASE
A free, short VR "edutainment" trip to a lunar base that genuinely charms the players who can get it working, undercut by severely inconsistent controller support that leaves a large share of reviewers unable to turn, move, or even start the experience at all.
3 / 10
My Little Colony
A NZ$10.29 desk-diorama ant colony sim from a solo student developer, launched unfinished on 1 April 2022 (unintentionally, on April Fools), publicly apologised for, patched twice over the following five months, and then left behind — a review from November 2023 says the developer "completely abandoned" it, and the game's own tiny nine-review corpus backs that up.
3 / 10
Underwater World - Idle Desktop Colony Building Simulator
A cheap, thin desktop-wallpaper colony builder with a review sample too small to trust on its own — but three separate negative reviews independently describe the game running unexpectedly in the background after being closed, a real and specific risk for Steam's own 2-hour refund window.
3 / 10
Read review of Underwater World - Idle Desktop Colony Building Simulator
Restaurant Tycoon
A bare-bones restaurant management sim with no missions, goals, or real progression loop, compounded by crashes and a broken autosave, and one detailed reviewer's unverified claim that the developer may not have built the game's assets themselves.
2.6 / 10
Idle Business Tycoon - Build Simulator
A NZ$3.19 idle "tycoon" whose entire loop, according to multiple independent reviewers, is buying one of 36 plots and watching it pay a flat 1 coin regardless of price or level — the fourth Boogygames Studios template Wanderer has reviewed, and the thinnest one yet.
