A genuinely impressive Unreal Engine 5 remake of the campaign that built a franchise, shipped with one enormous, deliberate omission — every scrap of the multiplayer that kept people playing the original for twenty years.
7 / 10
A dark-fantasy hell-management hybrid of tower defense, deckbuilding and auto-battler mechanics, praised for its striking punk-metal art direction and an unusually responsive developer — but hit by a real, developer-acknowledged "stack one damage type" balance problem that its own achievement data confirms remains the dominant winning strategy even after two named patches meant to fix it.
7 / 10
A Tim Burton-flavoured action-adventure where every citizen's fate is set by a dice roll at birth, built around a genuinely original hybrid of real-time dodging and card-hand-style dice combat that runs out of new ideas well before the story does.
7 / 10
A handsome, deliberately linear twelve-hour crime story in 1900s Sicily that three in five buyers actually finish — released at NZ$119.95, which is the number most of its arguments are really about.
7 / 10
A first-person survival sandbox about hunting, farming and building a village that eventually runs itself, wrapped around the promise of a multi-generational dynasty that almost nobody who owns it ever actually reaches — a Very Positive, 42,000-plus-review Steam favourite that has spent the last two years answering "what's missing" with paid cosmetics instead of the content its own late-game silence keeps calling for.
7 / 10
One of the greatest games ever made, rebuilt shot for shot and shipped at NZ$114.99 with performance problems Konami stopped patching in January — now 60% off, eleven months later, for reasons the review page makes obvious.
7 / 10
Mojang's accessible, co-op-first loot crawler wearing Minecraft's blocky skin over a Diablo-style structure — broadly loved for local and online co-op, and carrying one specific, heavily documented complaint its own Steam reviews won't let go of.
7 / 10
The Bearded Ladies' XCOM-inspired tactics game, from former Hitman and Payday designers, is Very Positive on Steam eight years on -- but its marketing promise of open tactical freedom runs into a review history that's remarkably consistent about a harder truth: there's really only one viable way to play it, and the game punishes almost every other approach severely.
7 / 10
A gorgeous, art-deco retrofuturistic noir about a detective whose city has conquered death itself, undercut by a "detective gameplay" system that a remarkably consistent share of its own reviewers describe the same way — the game always tells you exactly which tool to use, leaving little room to actually deduce anything yourself.
7 / 10
A pixel-art automation game that grafts Factorio-style conveyor belts onto a Forager-style hand-gathering loop. The first ten hours are genuinely charming; the back half turns into a long wait for timers to finish, and a cluster of recent reviews accuse it of bundling data collection players can't fully switch off.
7 / 10
A Mostly Negative badge on one of the best-designed shooters ever made — and the single most-upvoted criticism of it, at 21,456 votes, has been edited by its own author to say most of it no longer applies.
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
A genuinely inventive turn-based combat system and a lovingly painted Bilgewater carry this League of Legends spin-off RPG past safe, archetype-driven writing and a string of bugs that its now-defunct publisher never got the chance to patch.
7 / 10
A faithful, visually charming action RPG adaptation of Akira Toriyama's post-apocalyptic desert manga, built around genuinely excellent tank and vehicle customisation, undercut by a companion dialogue system so repetitive it's the single most common complaint in its own review base.
7 / 10
A self-contained, deliberately non-live-service starfighter combat game that critics loved and EA promised never to expand — a rare, honest $40 purchase undercut for a real share of players by years-unresolved login authentication bugs and a multiplayer population that's shrunk enough to make its own leaver-penalty system actively punishing.
7 / 10
A fully-voiced musical visual novel set among Greek gods hiding in the modern world, built by veteran narrative designers and carried by a genuinely strong voice cast — praised for its concept and performances, but hit at launch by real save-corruption and audio-mixing bugs the developer fixed in public, dated patches, and criticized by some for a "roleplaying" billing that oversells how much its choices actually change.
7 / 10
An outstanding fighting game that added a cash shop and premium battle pass two months after launch, then spent a year buffing offence until its own 300-hour veterans stopped recognising it — and is only now climbing back.
7 / 10
Nine years, 60 DLC packs and 201,251 reviews — and unlike other DLC-heavy giants, here the store really is the complaint, because what's behind the paywall isn't extra content but the equipment you need.
7 / 10
Obsidian's Fallout: New Vegas team builds a corporate-satire space RPG that's sharp, funny and warmly reviewed on Steam years later — but its own top-voted reviews keep landing on the same word, "average," and the base game they're rating has since been pulled from sale.
7 / 10
Evil Empire, the studio that carried Dead Cells through years of live-service updates, applies the same acrobatic movement and 2D action-roguelite formula to the Prince of Persia name — genuinely fluid to move through, but persistently criticised across its 15-month Early Access run and beyond for weapon and run variety that never quite escapes its own most obvious comparison.
7 / 10
A full 3D remake of a 1995 Super Famicom classic that never got an official English release until this and a retro re-issue arrived together in 2019-2020 — faithful to the original's charm and class-change system, but missing the SNES version's local co-op and carrying writing a meaningful share of its own Steam reviews call dated.
7 / 10
A psychedelic metroidvania trapped in a time loop aboard a cosmic, living space station, praised almost unanimously for its eye-melting art direction and score — and criticised, with real specificity by critics and players alike, for a repetition-heavy loop structure, inconsistent combat, and at least one well-documented save-corrupting bug still being reported more than a year after launch.
7 / 10
A debut Metroidvania that wears its Salt and Sanctuary and Bloodborne influences openly — critically well-received and Very Positive on Steam for its gothic art and boss fights, held back by confusing itemization, quest-breaking progression traps and a map screen players report as unusably broken years after launch.
7 / 10
Contingent99's Kickstarter-funded elemental combo roguelite is Very Positive on Steam eight years on, but the single most consistent complaint in its review history -- getting stunlocked by chains of hits with no invincibility frames on the dash -- is exactly the same complaint it launched with in 2018.
