Red Rocket Defencism

A short, stylish and genuinely funny satirical tower-defense game set in the fictional autocracy of Varnakia, unanimously praised in its early sample for witty writing, charming characters and a striking visual identity, held back by an easy difficulty some find lacking in strategic depth, visually chaotic battles, and a runtime several reviewers wish stretched further.

RentPoly

A "Balatro meets Monopoly" roguelike from Sunpeak Games that turns rent-collecting into a build-crafting engine, landing "Positive" on a small but enthusiastic launch-week sample split between genuine delight and real complaints about unclear rules text.

Revolution Idle

A free incremental built around filling concentric, spinning colour rings instead of the usual bar chart of numbers — genuinely huge in scope, openly derivative in structure, and popular enough to have accumulated over seven thousand English Steam reviews doing it.

ScreenSaver Idle

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.

Scritchy Scratchy

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.

Settlemoon

A real-time idle town-builder that deliberately explains almost nothing, and genuinely keeps growing while the game is closed — the rare idle game its own biggest fans call "the anti-idle game," at the cost of a sizeable share of players who never work out what to do.

Shadow of the Tomb Raider

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.

Siralim 3

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.

Soda Dungeon

A free turn-based idle dungeon crawler that bolts Clicker Heroes-style ascension onto a tavern full of soda-fuelled adventurers, charming enough that thousands of players still recommend it a decade after it started life as a mobile game.

Space Rock Breaker

A NZ$4.79 incremental about shooting asteroids and dropping the ore into a Plinko machine. Its achievement curve is the flattest this library has measured — almost everyone who buys it finishes it — and its prestige system is the one part that doesn't work.

Streetlight Syndicate

A Prohibition-era mafia idle/incremental with 5,000-plus words of dialogue, ten narrative ascensions and multiple endings — well liked by most of its early players, with a save-wiping bug at the finish line that the developer appears to have patched days after two reviewers independently reported it.

Stuck In Time

A NZ$10.29 fusion of time-loop adventure and idle incremental that has held a Very Positive Steam rating across four and a half years — not by avoiding friction, but by turning the loop's reset into the exact mechanism that makes idle progression permanent, while never fixing the one interface complaint players have repeated since launch week.

The Age of Decadence

The cult-classic CRPG built on a genuinely radical idea — that ending up in combat means your character build or your dialogue choices already failed — and a decade later, still the purest expression of a philosophy most of its own genre never dared attempt.

The Blood of Dawnwalker

A genuinely ambitious open-world vampire action RPG from Rebel Wolves, a new studio founded by Witcher 3 veterans, that fills a real gap for vampire-themed RPGs and draws strong, consistent praise for its story and atmosphere, undercut by widespread but hardware-inconsistent performance problems, real controller bugs, and a deeply divisive time-pressure mechanic that a large share of reviewers say was misrepresented before launch.

The Cosmic Wheel Sisterhood

A stylish witch-fantasy narrative game whose tarot-deck-crafting hook and Deconstructeam pedigree draw strong praise, undercut by a widely repeated complaint that the story pivots midway into a management sim many reviewers found tonally jarring, and that the marketed branching choices resolve into little more than two endings decided by one mid-game question.

The Last Caretaker

A genuinely beloved Early Access survival-crafting game about a lone robot scavenging a drowned Earth to save the last of humanity, Very Positive across more than 12,000 reviews for a premise and atmosphere reviewers describe with real passion — undercut by severe, well-documented performance problems, a persistent unresolved crash bug, and a motion-sickness accessibility gap that several devoted fans describe as painful to keep flagging.

The Lure

A free, twenty-minute psychological horror vertical slice built around a genuinely unsettling premise — you're trapped inside a mimic that's rebuilding a familiar environment around you to keep you docile before it eats you — with visual ambition well beyond what its tiny indie studio should be able to pull off.

The Slormancer

An action RPG that layers levelling on top of levelling — your character, your skills, your weapons and your items all grow independently — and earns real comparisons to Diablo and Last Epoch for its first ten hours, before a near-universally hated grind wall right before the final boss undoes a lot of that goodwill.

Threefold Recital

A mystery-investigation adventure game set in an oriental fantasy city of humans, dragons and anthropomorphic "beastlings," Very Positive across 154 English-language reviews for its writing and cast -- and consistently misjudged from its cover art, with reviewers repeatedly reassuring newcomers put off by the furry-adjacent character designs that there's nothing adult about it, just a slow-starting, dialogue-heavy story that most reviewers say pays off.

Titan Quest II

A genuinely promising return for a cult-favourite action RPG series, currently sold at full future price for a slice of content that doesn't yet match the ambition of its class system.

Total War: Three Kingdoms

One of the best-regarded entries in the Total War series on release, built around a genuinely deep diplomacy system and two distinct ways to play — undercut by a 2019 modding censorship controversy tied to a Chinese-market publishing deal, a DLC roadmap reviewers say Creative Assembly abandoned before finishing the story it promised, and persistent crash bugs still reported years later.

Umamusume: Pretty Derby

A horse-girl training sim whose warm writing and addictive racing loop won it Best Mobile Game at the 2025 Game Awards, sitting alongside one of the harsher gacha economies its own players have documented in detail — no pity carrying between banners, no guaranteed top-rarity pull even at the pity ceiling — plus a real, dated controversy wave over the developer's January 2026 announcement of a dedicated generative-AI studio.
