Under The Waves
An emotionally resonant underwater narrative adventure about grief and isolation, sold to many buyers expecting a Subnautica-style survival game and undercut for keyboard-and-mouse players by controls the game itself warns you to avoid.
6 / 10
Unwilling Host
Unwilling Host is a solo-developer debut, a short first-person VHS-filtered psychological horror game exploring a haunted mansion, and its Very Positive review sample repeatedly praises dense, well-timed jump scares and a genuinely unsettling atmosphere, undercut by a story almost nobody in the sample can follow and a runtime most reviewers call too brief.
6 / 10
Upload Labs
A free-to-play node-based system-management idler from EnigmaDev Studios that thousands of reviewers describe as genuinely, dangerously addictive, undercut by a controversial 2.0 update that reviewers say reset progress and dramatically increased grind and monetisation, plus a missing undo button that several players report has erased hours of careful work in a single misclick.
6 / 10
Voodoo Garden
A cute, grimly charming swamp-clicker whose own reviewers can't agree on whether it's actually an idle game — a genuine design-honesty question this review works through rather than resolves in one direction, alongside a real, well-documented achievement grind.
6 / 10
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.
6 / 10
Wild Growth
A short, sharply-designed incremental healer game that condenses the specific thrill of MMO raid healing into a few focused hours, earning devoted praise from ex-healers while a real, detailed minority argues its resource grind and thin build variety undercut the loop it's built around.
6 / 10
Wunderdoktor
Wunderdoktor dresses a click-heavy dexterity game in gorgeous gothic paper-cutout art and a premise straight out of a dark fairy tale — a traveling quack curing arachnocough and ghostly maladies. The presentation earns near-universal praise; whether the clicking underneath it holds up depends heavily on what genre you expected walking in.

Your Big, Cute Monster Farm
KaiPlay Studio's Your Big, Cute Monster Farm turns a corner of the desktop into a Rusty's Retirement-style idle farm tended by fusible monster companions, earning a Mostly Positive reception for its charming presentation and flexible hands-on-or-off pacing, tempered by a dominant, heavily repeated complaint about steep, exponentially scaling late-game costs that stall progress for hundreds of hours.
6 / 10
Chicken Miner
A scrappy incremental about bonking chickens for cash and letting them mine minerals for you, with more mechanical depth than its price tag suggests.

Cloudgazer: A Game About Watching Clouds Review
A Game About Doing Almost Nothing Cloudgazer's pitch is right there in the title, and the game doesn't pretend to be anything more than it says it is. You lie back, watch a

Coffee Noir - Business Detective Game
A genuinely striking noir art style and story wrapped around two half-realized game systems — a business sim too simple to satisfy and a detective clue-connecting mechanic several reviewers call arbitrary enough to feel like a coin flip.
5.9 / 10
Enthaur : Lost in Slumber
Enthaur is a FREE, first-person body-horror vertical slice from student studio PerWeak Studio, published by IIM Digital School, casting players as a homunculus climbing through the decaying flesh of a dying creature, and this review's small, unanimously Positive sample found it a genuinely atmospheric, if very short, horror experience.
5.9 / 10
Forage Wizard
A cozy click-and-craft alchemy sim with a genuinely satisfying early game, whose automation system, meant to be the whole point, falls apart in the back half, leaving both fans and critics grinding through the same manual resource-clicking they thought they'd left behind.
5.9 / 10
Gaia Maker
Gaia Maker is a free-to-play planetary terraforming sandbox built on real physics and geology, and this review's Positive sample (12 of 13 reviews) reads it as an affectionate, well-crafted homage to 1990's SimEarth rather than a genuinely new take on the genre, undercut by a balance curve several reviewers found too forgiving once mastered.
5.9 / 10
Harvest Cafe Review: A Charming Stardew-Style Opening That Reviewers Say Thins Out Fast
A farming-and-restaurant sim that blends Stardew Valley-style crop growing with a cook-and-serve business layer, drawing warm praise for its opening hours and cruelty-free animal husbandry, while one detailed critical review argues the content and polish drop off sharply once the tutorial ends.
5.9 / 10
Impossible Pizza Delivery
Impossible Pizza Delivery is a $4.99 solo-developed physics rage-platformer from Blackjard Games that tasks players with driving and jumping a pizza-delivery vehicle across three obstacle-strewn, sheep-infested locations, and this review's small, mostly Positive sample praises its voice acting and addictive, forgiving-yet-brutal difficulty range while flagging real checkpoint frustration.
5.9 / 10
Magic Forge Tycoon Review: A Clever Arms-Dealer Premise That Runs Out of Runs
A weapon-crafting tycoon that casts the player as an arms dealer fuelling wars between fantasy kingdoms, praised by reviewers for a genuinely interesting political hook but repeatedly criticised for a short, repetitive loop that mostly solves itself after one playthrough.

MotoGP™26
The official 2026 MotoGP season brings a genuinely reworked, rider-weight-driven handling model that many returning players call a real step forward, but it's undercut by a widely reported, aggressive AI that rams and divebombs its way through races, plus real bugs and a familiar 'more of the same' fatigue.
5.9 / 10
Myth of Empires: Throne Review: A Deep Free Sandbox Undercut by Pay-to-Win
Myth of Empires: Throne is a free-to-play seasonal survival sandbox with a genuinely deep crafting, taming, and base-building loop, but persistent server instability and an unmistakable pay-to-win edge in PvP have left the reception split down the middle.

Snap the Cat
A short, sweet incremental about photographing cats for social media clout, with an adorable roster and a loop that never actually grows.
