A post-apocalyptic survival game set in a hand-built Dutch landscape, sold as a finished product at full price, with no save function in single-player. Quit, crash or lose connection and the run is gone. Everything else wrong with it is downstream of decisions like that one.
3.5 / 10
A solid, budget-priced Vampire Survivors-style bullet hell with genuine online co-op for up to three players, backed by fast post-launch patching -- though with only a handful of public reviews on record, this is an early, promising snapshot rather than a settled verdict.
3.5 / 10
Hitori De Productions' solo-developed survival horror has real atmosphere and strong cutscenes, but a heavily negative review sample describes recurring asset-flip accusations, save-destroying crashes, and a story that collapses within a few short hours.

A Zombie-Infested Extraction Shooter From a Three-Person Team, and It Shows Exit Ways is a PvEvP survival extraction shooter built around a straightforward pitch: rescue survivors,
3.2 / 10
A NZ$7.39 open-world survival crafting game with a tiny, split review sample — two of five reviewers report the game becoming unplayable within minutes, and no update or news post has landed since a week after launch in September 2023.
3.2 / 10
Read review of SuperKraft: Open World Survival Crafting Game
A genuinely inventive horde-survivor with handmade animation, sharp spell synergies, and a rare demo-to-release progression carryover, badly let down at launch by unfinished content and severe boss-fight performance drops -- though the developer has kept patching and expanding it since.
3 / 10
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
A cute, anime-styled bullet-heaven survivors-like whose Mostly Positive review sample praises a satisfying dual-weapon skill loop and an intense floor-based endless mode, but is repeatedly undercut by complaints about weak sound design, missing auto-aim, and -- in one specific, detailed review -- AI-generated character art.
3 / 10
A zombie survival game whose combat reviewers describe as broken since its February Early Access launch, marketed with an "MMO" tag despite no server list, and selling individual weapons as separate DLC priced the same as the entire base game.
3 / 10
A Front Mission spinoff so poorly optimised and so quickly abandoned that even Square Enix's own official news feed ended up syndicating press coverage calling it 'best left alone' — a rare case where the harsh consensus is simply accurate.
3 / 10
Starmoon Cat's pixel-art Brotato-like survives its own influences with charming presentation and satisfying wave combat, but a Very Positive review sample flags a flat difficulty curve, samey weapon builds, and a worryingly thin post-launch update cadence.
3 / 10
A free, solo-developed fantasy survival and settlement-builder that its own store page admits is "an early test version currently intended only for selected players" — and its first reviewers, largely sympathetic to the idea, confirm that disclaimer is accurate rather than modest.
3 / 10
An extraction shooter that charges you twice Last Remains asks players to survive a zombie-overrun city, scavenging loot, fighting off both the undead and rival human survivors, an
2.5 / 10
ODale Studios' solo-developed alien-temple survival horror game built around a microphone-sensitive monster, whose Mixed and largely critical review sample finds the central detection gimmick inconsistent and easily bypassed, the puzzles either trivial or illogical, and the overall experience too short and rough to justify its asking price.
2 / 10
An imaginative premise — a giant mobile castle fleeing monsters across an open world — sold at an extraordinary NZ$289.99, which this review's own check of Steam's public records shows spent roughly six years in Early Access before quietly "leaving" it in 2024 with a single achievement and, by ten of eleven reviewers' accounts, barely a tutorial's worth of content.
1.8 / 10
A promise of wilderness survival, and almost nothing behind it Collinwood advertises itself as a sandbox wilderness survival game: gather materials, craft tools, build a cozy cabin
