Defrag Incremental

A NZ$5.11 incremental about optimising messy hard drives, whose Mixed Steam rating splits cleanly along a timeline rather than a taste — a rocky launch day the developer patched fast, and a slower, still-unresolved design gate that keeps a chunk of players stuck clicking long before the game lets them stop.

Desk Top Racer

A free desktop-companion idle racing management sim in the mould of Rusty's Retirement, earning a Very Positive launch reception for its charming background-friendly presentation and cross-platform reach, tempered by honest reviewer complaints about a paid pay-to-win DLC car, a thin Steam Market economy, and a requirement to stay online to keep progressing.

DIG Raiders: Anomaly Extraction

A co-op mining and exploration adventure from Soda Game Studio about digging beneath a crashed alien ship for loot alongside friends, earning a Positive launch reception dominated by Simplified Chinese reviewers who praise its art, map density and comedic alien NPCs, tempered by honest reports of terrain-snagging movement and multiplayer connection problems.

Dream House Days DX

A content-rich, genuinely addictive apartment-management sim that longtime fans call among Kairosoft's best work, undercut by the same "barely a port" problem found across the studio's Steam releases — a controller-first mobile design with almost no adaptation for mouse and keyboard.

Drop and Grow

A cozy incremental game from solo developer Shane Staller Games about restoring barren landscapes by dropping water and growing plants, Very Positive across 73 English reviews for its relaxing atmosphere and satisfying pixel-art progression, with a widely repeated complaint that the lack of an autosave feature has cost several reviewers hours of progress.

Dummynation

A streamlined, real-time geopolitical conquest game from a solo developer who's still shipping updates more than four years after launch, though a major 2024 overhaul alienated a meaningful share of the fanbase that loved the simpler game it replaced.

Dungeon Dev

A genuinely inventive puzzle premise — secretly designing a dungeon to lose in a way that satisfies each invading hero's specific class desires — undercut in its back half by a well-documented complaint that solving devolves from logic into brute-force trial and error.

Electrician Simulator

A satisfying, ASMR-like job simulator about wiring sockets and fixing appliances that genuinely teaches basic electrical concepts to newcomers, while real electricians in its own review base say the repetitive screwing-and-unscrewing loop and at least one tutorial inaccuracy fall well short of the "simulator" label.

Everholm

A gorgeous, open-ended cozy farming RPG whose central mystery hook — why does everyone on this island know you, and where is your missing sister — draws players in and then goes conspicuously quiet, leaving a well-crafted farm sim without the narrative payoff its own setup promises.

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.
