A genuinely inventive fusion of Metroidvania exploration and Pokémon-style monster taming with real tactical depth, undercut for a large share of its own fans by a late-game boss-scaling system that turns an excellent first twenty hours into a grind many never finish.
7 / 10
A vampire farming sim with the best time-pressure idea the cosy genre has had in years, and almost no progression ladder to spend that pressure on.
7 / 10
A 2002 D&D CRPG whose real product, twenty-plus years on, is its legendary toolset and community-module ecosystem — sold under an "Enhanced Edition" label that its own launch-year reviewers overwhelmingly said promised more than it delivered.
7 / 10
A bite-sized empire-building strategy game built to finish in under an hour, whose time-conscious pitch genuinely wins over busy players even as a large share of its own audience argues it isn't really the 4X game it's marketed as.
7 / 10
The indie life sim that spent seven years being the great Sims alternative, now 91% positive and a million copies sold — with a build mode people adore and a live mode its own supporters say isn't finished.
7 / 10
Owlcat's debut CRPG launched in 2018 famously unfinished, and years of patches earned it a real redemption arc in its own reviews — only for a 2024 change of ownership to hand it a fresh publisher-trust problem that shows up plainly in this year's numbers.
7 / 10
Read review of Pathfinder: Kingmaker - Enhanced Plus Edition
A relaxed, satisfying business sim about building a computer hardware empire from a one-room office to a global brand, hooking even its harshest critics for tens of hours before a genuinely broken product-scoring mechanic and a year-plus of development silence catch up with it.
7 / 10
Obsidian's pirate-flavoured CRPG sequel draws real praise for its writing and open-sea setting, but "combat" is the single most-discussed word in its negative reviews — and one detailed review sums up a whole pattern in the corpus: 100+ hours logged, and still never finished.
7 / 10
A decade-old space colony sim with a specific, detailed design complaint at the heart of its negative reviews — one terrain quirk that some players call a fatal flaw and others, including a 900-hour veteran, call simple mismanagement.
7 / 10
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.
7 / 10
A traditional roguelike that dresses ADOM- and Tales of Maj'Eyal-style permadeath dungeon-crawling in a friendlier interface and a satisfying meta-progression loop, held back by thin originality, patchy quality-of-life and a scattering of run-ending bugs.
7 / 10
A gorgeous Scandinavian-folklore adventure about grief and redemption from a debut studio of PlayStation veterans — critically Strong and Very Positive on Steam, with a very consistent minority complaint that its puzzle pacing, backtracking and slow, unskippable animations undercut the story it's telling.
7 / 10
Real chess, played with real rules, where every piece you capture hands you a spell card that can freeze a bishop, rotate a corner of the board, or turn a rook into a decoy king. A tactical roguelite built for players who already know how a knight moves.
7 / 10
A DVD-logo corner-hit clicker that grows into a three-mode idle RPG — mining, farming and fishing all feed the same currency as the bouncing logo — but it is a windowed Steam game, not an actual screensaver, and its store page never claims to earn a cent while it isn't open.
7 / 10
A scratch-card incremental that swaps the usual "buy 10" button for a mouse dragged across a lottery ticket, and turns out to be one of the most purely satisfying opening hours the genre has produced this year — right up until the point where the tickets stop having anything new to say.
7 / 10
The closing chapter of the rebooted Survivor trilogy swapped Crystal Dynamics for Eidos-Montreal and gunfights for stealth and puzzles -- a deliberate pivot that split reviewers in 2018 and, eight years and a Definitive Edition later, is still what most players argue about, alongside a specific progress-blocking puzzle bug that outlived several rounds of patches.
7 / 10
Thylacine Studios' third monster-collecting dungeon crawler is Very Positive on Steam and genuinely enormous in scope -- 1,172 Steam achievements' worth of breeding, itemisation and grind -- but its own review history is candid about a crude sense of humour some found genuinely uncomfortable, and most of its longtime fans now point newcomers to its own 2021 successor instead.
7 / 10
Mega Crit's sequel to one of the most acclaimed deckbuilders ever made adds co-op, two new classes and a rebuilt Ascension ladder, then spends its first five months in Early Access getting hammered by its own veteran players over balance whiplash, a boss nobody could agree on, and a genuine RNG bug a fan had to prove existed.
7 / 10
A free auto-battling dungeon crawler that lets you script your party's behaviour instead of just watching it fight, undercut on desktop by menus that never stopped feeling like a phone app and a save file that a bad crash can wipe outright.
7 / 10
A ten-year-old space sandbox that still earns a Very Positive rating on the strength of its crafting-and-exploration loop and its modding scene — until you check the dates and find the developer has shipped one hotfix since 2019, then marked the tenth anniversary of its 1.0 launch with a vinyl record instead of an update, which is currently tanking the recent-review score in real time.
7 / 10
A decade-old 4X space strategy game beloved enough to produce reviewers with 2,000+ hours logged — and, since 2024, a wave of those exact same veteran players turning against Paradox over DLC pricing, a specific performance regression, and player-reported AI-generated content.
7 / 10
A free incremental with one reviewer clocking 31,732 hours and a persistent complaint from the rest — that a game with "idle" in its title keeps asking you to click.
7 / 10
A genuinely inventive "reverse city builder" about restoring wastelands to life, praised almost universally for its concept and art, undercut from launch by a length-and-price complaint even its fans echo, and more recently by a major free content update that split longtime players over how "chill" the game is supposed to feel.
7 / 10
The trilogy's middle chapter, widely framed by reviewers as a "sophomore slump" that carries over the same combat-design critique this outlet found in the original game — plus a new complaint that its own attempt at a new mechanic (barricades) adds tedium rather than depth, and an ending several reviewers call less satisfying than the first game's.
