924 reviews
A free-to-play idle RPG built around a wizard guild where every skill quietly multiplies every other skill — a genuinely clever synergy system undercut by a one-worker-at-a-time bottleneck and a VIP purchase ladder players have to climb tier by tier.
6.5 / 10
Ubisoft's feudal Japan entry delivers genuinely beautiful visuals and a widely loved shinobi protagonist, undercut by a real, consistently repeated "formula fatigue" complaint — towers, icons, repetition — a verified gap between Ubisoft's public promise of full offline play and what reviewers report experiencing in practice, and a heavily monetised in-game store layered on top of a full NZ$109.95 purchase.
6.5 / 10
The same demonstrate-it-once robot scripting that made Autonauts click, now defending a base against raiders with automated squads — a genuinely fun idea that never quite justifies asking for a second full-price purchase.
6.5 / 10
A tiny, no-combat runner/metroidvania about a cat who can't fight and can only sprint past danger — a nearly five-year-old Early Access project the developer just released for free after its funding fell through, reviewed on its complete review sample old and new.
6.5 / 10
Hazelight Studios' prison-break co-op predecessor to It Takes Two and Split Fiction remains Very Positive across more than 102,000 Steam reviews for its inventive, purely two-player design — but this review can confirm a real, still-current complaint It Takes Two eventually resolved: A Way Out's mandatory EA App launcher continues to cause connection failures, crashes and Steam-invite friction in reviews dated as recently as August 2025, with no fix announcement found anywhere in the developer's own Steam communications.
6.5 / 10
EA's biggest Battlefield launch in franchise history — 20 million units sold, record concurrent players, genuinely praised gunplay and an unusually stable launch — undercut by a widely repeated "bait and switch" narrative in which an acclaimed beta gave way to aggressive post-launch monetisation, and shadowed by a real, independently verified wave of layoffs across the studios that built it just months after that record-breaking success.
6.5 / 10
A roguelike deckbuilder that fuses Scrabble with Balatro, from GoldenEye and TimeSplitters veterans — genuinely praised for its core idea, and shadowed by an AI-art controversy the developers walked back after launch-week backlash.
6.5 / 10
An ambitious single-world MMO crafting sandbox from the studio behind SpacetimeDB, built around a genuinely deep, RuneScape-inspired grind that its own biggest fans openly embrace — undercut by a real tension between its "idle-friendly" marketing and punishing stamina systems, rampant player-on-player griefing the developers are criticised for under-policing, and a disclosed but under-communicated plan to wipe progress and convert to free-to-play after Early Access.
6.5 / 10
A ten-year-old pixel dungeon-crawler that never quite decided whether it wants you clicking through fights or leaving them to auto-battle, held together by a four-currency stamina economy that structures every session it doesn't quietly monetise.
6.5 / 10
A dark fantasy roguelite dungeon crawler with a distinctive old-school RuneScape look and a genuine risk-everything extraction structure — reviewed on its complete 15-review sample, which reads as a small solo-developer project fighting real launch-week bugs rather than a broken game.
6.5 / 10
A well-loved anime school RPG going through a gacha revolt in real time. Nine of its last hundred English reviews are positive — and the change they're protesting isn't in the version most Steam players are running yet. Reviewed 4 August 2026, mid-storm.
6.5 / 10
A roguelike deckbuilder where placement matters more than the cards themselves — draft one of three each day, stack it onto a shrinking farm grid, and chase chain-reaction synergy before rising taxes end the run — with a launch-week freeze bug the developer has already patched and a genuine split over how hard the game actually is.
6.5 / 10
A first-person co-op roguelite where up to four cats sneak past dogs to rescue kittens, spend break-in cash on crossbows and grenades between runs, and try to outlast an escalating house — priced at $2.99 and one day old, with a single user review and no achievement list yet to check its own claims against.
6.5 / 10
A Chinese-developed xianxia tactics RPG with a genuinely good grid on it, sold at a fair price with 19 chapters already in the box — and a cultivation ladder that turns out to be the thinnest system in the game.
6.5 / 10
An idle clicker that spends its entropy on the entire history of life and technology instead of lemonade stands, with genuine scientific content dressing up a tech tree that is more linear than it looks and a monetisation stack that leans harder every year it stays alive.
6.5 / 10
A one-time-purchase idle RPG that borrows every visual and structural trick of gacha hero collectors — six rarities, duplicate fusion, a 70-champion banner — and then declines to sell any of it, which makes it one of the more interesting monetisation experiments the genre has produced this year.
6.5 / 10
A genuinely deep idle civilization builder — a hundred-plus technologies, era-spanning wonders, a real global trading market — undercut by a headline feature that's been advertised for over a year without actually existing.
6.5 / 10
A generation-ship RPG from the Age of Decadence developers, offering genuinely outstanding writing and consequential choices aboard a decaying vessel bound for Proxima Centauri — hobbled by combat and skill systems a large share of its own fans find genuinely frustrating.
6.5 / 10
Relic's standalone wave-defence spin-off is the rare Mixed rating where both sides agree the game is fun. The fight on its review page is entirely about the price tag — a full-expansion ask for five maps, four factions and a perk tree.
6.5 / 10
A brutal, deeply detailed survival sandbox set in Robert E. Howard's Hyboria that's held a genuinely devoted following since 2018, now carrying real, current frustrations over monetisation additions and mandatory online requirements introduced since Funcom's acquisition by Tencent.
6.5 / 10
Devsisters folds its 300-million-player Cookie Run cast into an idle auto-battler with genuinely tactical positioning, then hangs the whole thing on the same gacha currencies that turned Cookie Run: Kingdom into a case study in monetisation backlash.
6.5 / 10
A two-person team's 2D Metroidvania with Souls-like combat, launched into Early Access on 5 August 2026 with a full campaign already playable, an equipment-driven build system, and a planned 6-to-12-month road to 1.0.
6.5 / 10
A free idle RPG with the genuine article — true 1:1 offline progression — attached to a retention design that keeps demanding you come back and play minigames by hand.
6.5 / 10
The game that arguably invented the modern survival genre from an ARMA 2 mod is still running, still brutal, and still dividing its own reviews between people who lived through its infamous five-year alpha and people just discovering how unforgiving it remains today.
