Metro Exodus

A well-regarded, atmospheric post-apocalyptic shooter whose reputation was genuinely damaged by a real 2019 Epic Games Store exclusivity controversy and a cluster of specific, long-unfixed bugs — but whose negative reviews have declined sharply since, consistent with a history that's now largely settled rather than an ongoing problem.

Mindustry

A factory game where your conveyor belts double as your ammo supply, so a bottleneck in copper isn't a spreadsheet problem, it's a hole in your wall. Free and open source on Android and itch.io, a paid one-off on Steam, and one of the most distinctive marriages of automation and tower defence around.

Mudborne - Frog Management Sim

A genetics-driven frog-breeding sim from one half of the APICO team, built around discovering and cross-breeding dozens of frog species across a waking and a dreaming world -- beautifully drawn and warmly received, with real friction in its navigation, inventory and pacing that a year and a half of updates hasn't fully resolved.

Necesse

A top-down sandbox RPG that spent six years in Early Access building the one system that actually separates it from the Terraria-likes around it — recruit settlers, hand them jobs, and your colony keeps working while you're off fighting something in a cave.

Nova Drift

An ARPG's worth of build synergy packed into an Asteroids cabinet, at thirteen dollars and 96% positive. The one thing standing between it and everybody is the control scheme — and that's a deliberate choice the game is literally named after.

Pillars of Eternity

The game that brought the isometric party RPG back from the dead, and spent a decade being judged against a memory of Baldur's Gate rather than on its own terms. Fewer than half its buyers finish Act I — but the ones who push through average eighty hours.

Railbound

A beautifully designed train-track puzzle game with one of the strongest, most sustained support records this lane has covered, let down only by marketing that undersells how genuinely demanding its back half becomes.

RE-TAPED

A recording-based puzzle platformer that has players tape their own movements and replay those echoes to weigh down switches, block lasers, and trigger springs, winning a spotless review pool with a genuinely fresh central mechanic and Flash-era charm, even though its short 29-level campaign and fiddly keyboard controls leave some wanting more.

Rubinite

Cup Dog Games' debut strips the Soulslike down to nothing but boss fights, built around a Focus-and-Mark system that turns every encounter into a duel over who blinks first — and then asks its best players to do the whole thing again without getting hit once.

Rust

Eight years after release and still getting a major update every month, Rust remains the most uncompromising survival game ever made — and the one whose own veterans write the funniest negative reviews about how much of their lives it took.

Sandustry

A falling-sand physics factory game — every grain, drop and spark is a simulated resource — that went into Early Access on 13 August 2026 to a near-unanimous reception, backed by Hooded Horse and pre-release press comparing it to Factorio, Terraria and Noita all at once.

Sephiria

A top-down action-roguelite from the studio behind Dungreed, built around a Tetris-style artifact inventory that turns loadout planning into its own puzzle game — dense, generous with content, and let down late by a damage-sponge final boss and a steep endgame DPS wall.

shapez 2

A pure factory-automation puzzle stripped of combat, scarcity and even failure, where the only opponent is a shape's own geometry. The tightest version of this genre's core loop yet built, and a useful test of what's left once every source of friction is removed.

SKALD: Against the Black Priory

A lovingly built retro CRPG that fuses Ultima-era pixel art with genuine Lovecraftian horror and tabletop-inspired tactical combat, beloved for a first half that critics call nearly flawless, held to a lower score mostly by a well-documented back-half quality drop and controller support that stayed broken after a real fix attempt.

Solasta: Crown of the Magister

A small Paris studio built a turn-based CRPG on Dungeons & Dragons' free 5.1 rules document rather than a paid brand license, and the result plays closer to an actual tabletop session than any of its bigger-budget rivals — verticality, light and darkness included — while looking and sounding like exactly the smaller production it is.

SpaceChem

The game that started a genre, fifteen years old, and the lowest-rated of the seven engineering puzzlers in this library — which turns out to say more about being first than about being worst.
