A genuinely deep idle RPG that hooks its most dedicated fans for hundreds of hours on a thoughtful 72-hour offline time bank, undercut by an overwhelming pile of half-explained systems and a corroborated, apparently still-unpatched bug that stops the final boss cold.
6 / 10
A heavy-metal-soaked "eat, evolve, obliterate" action RPG that reviewers describe as Hades crossed with Pokemon, if the cute creatures were replaced by demonic monstrosities inspired by metal bands — a genuinely loved concept that launched as a buggy, thin-content mess its own developers have kept actively patching, including a major structural rework since.
6 / 10
A small, calm mining sim about drilling deeper for a couple of evenings — pleasant while it lasts, and honest about how little it's asking of your time.
6 / 10
A desktop pet, not a game in any conventional sense — Wukong or Amei sit on your screen, react to your typing and clicking, and let you draw their outfits by hand. Reviewed two days after launch, with almost no review corpus yet to judge it by.
6 / 10
A genuinely excellent basketball simulator wrapped in an economy where one season's pass costs more than the whole discounted game — and where the sequel went on pre-order while those passes were still being sold.
6 / 10
A cheap, small-scale Korean co-op roguelite about scavenging zombie-overrun regions by day and defending a hideout by night -- Mostly Positive from a modest audience, genuinely fun with friends according to most who tried it, but held back by real, repeated multiplayer bugs and no public matchmaking to find them with.
6 / 10
A gorgeously art-directed Warhammer 40,000 underhive shooter whose environments draw consistent praise even from critical reviewers, held back by the single most-mentioned complaint this outlet has found in any game reviewed this session — enemy AI reviewers describe as janky and frustrating — spread consistently across every year since a 2021 launch that never fully resolved it.
6 / 10
A fantasy necromancer-builder where you assemble undead minions from mismatched body parts and send them to defend your tower -- a genuinely inventive Very Positive hit at NZ$4.49, undercut by minion AI reviewers call frustratingly dumb and a publisher that moved on to a sequel while this one's bugs stayed open.
6 / 10
A third-person sci-fi horde shooter that pairs Vampire Survivors-scale enemy counts with build-your-own ARPG crafting, launched into Early Access with a specific roadmap, an honest price and zero independent track record to check any of it against.
6 / 10
A crossover that put two very different action-anime franchises on the same box art and then, by its own review corpus's overwhelming consensus, built the combat, tone and mechanics around only one of them -- leaving fans of the other feeling like they bought the wrong game.
6 / 10
A free-to-play Dungeons & Dragons action MMORPG that has survived thirteen years, two publisher rebrands and a 2025 management buyout on the strength of genuinely fun combat — and is now fighting its own cash shop for the loyalty of the veterans keeping it alive.
6 / 10
Amazon's classless action MMORPG still has the best weapon-swap combat and the most convincing large-scale siege war it has ever shipped. None of that is why this review exists — New World: Aeternum was delisted from every storefront on 15 January 2026 and the servers go dark for good on 31 January 2027. Reviewed with the extended Nighthaven season live.
6 / 10
The factory-building sequel to NGU Idle swaps rebirth layering for conveyor belts and work orders, builds a genuinely interesting system out of it in its first six weeks, and then stops. It has been Early Access, unfinished, since April 2021.
6 / 10
An idle horde-survival RPG with a genuinely distinctive structure — a defined ending rather than an endless grind — undercut for a meaningful share of players by scripted, low-choice progression, a "no offline progress" design that sits oddly for an idle game, and a pattern of developer replies to negative reviews that multiple players independently describe as combative.
6 / 10
MDickie's 3D remake of his own School Days recycles the Wrestling Empire combat engine into a chaotic school-life sandbox -- genuinely funny for the built-in fanbase, but saddled with camera and control complaints that have gone unfixed since launch, and a recent trust problem over undisclosed AI-generated content.
6 / 10
A charming, Evil Genius-styled boot camp management sim whose base-building and art direction win consistent praise, dogged from launch through three years of updates by the same complaint — reviewers keep calling it a "waiting simulator" with too little strategy underneath.
6 / 10
A gorgeous, fan-service-heavy turn-based JRPG that repeatedly draws the same reaction from its own most devoted audience — "I really wanted to like this" — before describing combat so easy it can be won by mashing one button, and pacing padded with backtracking through the same small areas.
6 / 10
A NZ$6.39 solo-dev idle clicker where you drag a collector circle across an overgrown field for timed harvest rounds, upgrading tools between them — let down by a Prestige system that resets nothing about how much your crops are worth.
6 / 10
A social sandbox MMO with no vendors, no quest-givers and no safety net — genuinely distinctive when it comes to player-built villages and a player-run economy, but its land ownership system asks for real, recurring money in a way a lot of its own players resent.
6 / 10
A budget one-on-one arena brawler that leans hard into a "classic 90s fighting" pitch, published by a company built on reviving old and obscure game libraries, on a Steam page with no user reviews, no press coverage and no achievement data yet to check it against.
6 / 10
A pixel-art roguelite that bills itself as "Vampire Survivors meets Gauntlet," drawing real affection from arcade-era Gauntlet fans while a consistent share of newcomers expecting a faster bullet-heaven find its slow pacing, minimal stat upgrades and unfair-feeling enemy scaling a poor match for their expectations.
6 / 10
A gorgeous, cosy alchemist life-sim whose own review base repeats the same verdict with striking consistency — beautiful and charming on the surface, thinner than its genre neighbours underneath, and sold alongside more than thirty individually priced decoration DLC packs that together cost nearly as much as the base game.
6 / 10
A cheap, pleasant, two-to-four-hour fishing incremental from Monkey Cube that plenty of players finish in one sitting and enjoy — right up until they notice the upgrade tree never actually asks them to choose anything, and that the endgame achievements want them to play the whole thing over again.
6 / 10
A free, solo-developed idle roguelike that spent a full year in Early Access before its 9 May 2025 1.0 exit — Mixed at 64% lifetime across a small but genuinely long-playing corpus, whose own most-invested critics (one at over 4,700 hours) describe a game whose systems, especially crafting, arrive far too slowly for how much waiting it asks of you.
