A Metroidvania-flavoured platformer about a shaman bargaining with the God of Death to bring his father's spirit back, built around switching between a melee Sun mask and a ranged Moon mask — praised by critics for its story and presentation, but met on Steam by a smaller, more linear game than its own marketing promised and a launch clouded by controversy that had little to do with combat at all.
6.5 / 10
A factory-automation game that puts the camera underground and gives you a gun that deletes stone, so verticality and terrain destruction do real design work instead of being a setting. The idea is stronger than the execution — a convoluted tech tree, a frame rate that sags under a big base, and a developer that's gone quiet since the 1.0 launch hold it back.
6.5 / 10
Massive Monster's debut -- a Flash-game-turned-commercial platformer about a boy, his pet rock and a giraffe with a helicopter tongue -- is Very Positive on Steam, but the studio's own next game, Cult of the Lamb, became the actual hit; eight years of reviews explain the gap with one word repeated more than any other: repetitive.
6.5 / 10
One of the most beautiful cyberpunk worlds ever built, wrapped around bugs that delete your save — reported in 2021, still reported in 2026, with an announcement feed containing five years of sales and no patch notes.
6.5 / 10
A gothic, Bloodborne-and-Blasphemous-inspired metroidvania soulslike praised for its striking pixel art and genuinely deep build variety — hit at launch by real, specific complaints about sluggish combat feel and at least one serious progress-destroying softlock bug, backed by an unusually long, still-ongoing patch and free-DLC support record that directly contradicts claims the developer abandoned the game.
6.5 / 10
Deck13's sci-fi souls-like sequel fixes the first game's biggest complaints — bigger city, better combat, a real parry system — and its own review corpus is unusually consistent that it succeeded, even as a wave of much more recent reviews complain the PC build has since rotted into crashes and broken textures on modern hardware.
6.5 / 10
NC's weapon-swap MMORPG delivers the best guild siege in the genre right now and asks a real question about what its Auction House and $50 Character Boost actually buy. Reviewed with The Frozen Divide: Nix (level cap 60) live and Update 4.3.0's Battlegrounds season running.
6.5 / 10
The first new mainline entry in the Mana series in over a decade brings genuinely fun three-character action combat and some of the best art and music the franchise has produced, undercut by a shallower open world than its predecessors, a story several longtime fans call the weakest the series has told, and a real, documented studio closure that landed days after launch.
6.5 / 10
A gorgeous Edo-period fantasy action RPG with three distinct heroes and fluid combat, whose shallow run variation draws real roguelite complaints -- and whose launch was upended a week in when its publisher abandoned the project, not the small developer some angry reviews initially blamed.
6.5 / 10
Lemonade stand to interplanetary conglomerate in three clicks and one very persistent gold shop. A forensic look at the idle clicker that made "buy, automate, reset" a mobile business model as much as a game design.
6 / 10
A perfectly decent Anno wrapped in one of the least generous packages of 2025 — a NZ$99.95 base game, a Year 1 Pass that doesn't cover all of year one's DLC, Denuvo, a required Ubisoft account, and a disclosed use of AI tools for in-game assets.
6 / 10
A mobile studio's first console-scale action RPG -- charming art, a satisfying weapon-combo system once it opens up, and a critical consensus that politely calls the whole thing forgettable.
6 / 10
Game Freak's first new IP away from Pokémon is a striking-looking action RPG that launched two days ago to a Mixed score — and the negative reviews and the positive ones are, almost eerily, describing the same game.
6 / 10
A NZ$64.95 action-RPG that swapped the series' Zelda-and-hack'n'slash roots for a Dark Souls-inspired combat system, and split its roughly 12,500 Steam reviews into a Mostly Positive "aggressively mediocre" verdict — well-loved by newcomers to the pivot, and repeatedly described by longtime fans of the first two games as fighting its own combat and camera as hard as it fights the enemies on screen.
6 / 10
Gaming's most famous redemption arc went into reverse — negative reviews fell to five in 2023, then spiked to thirty-one in 2025, and the players writing them have two thousand hours each and one complaint: the subscription.
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 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
A sixteen-year-old free-to-play space MMO whose combat has genuinely few peers, and whose own negative Steam reviews come overwhelmingly from thousand-hour veterans turning against its lockbox monetisation rather than from players bouncing off it early.
6 / 10
A voxel-building MMO welded to an ARPG loot treadmill, still running eleven years after Trion Worlds made it and three community letters a month after gamigo took over. The question in 2026 isn't whether Trove survives — it clearly does — it's how much of it is still a game and how much is a storefront.
6 / 10
A forgiving, auto-mapped first-person dungeon crawler wrapped around an unusually pointed story about corporate exploitation, undercut on PC by a control scheme reviewers describe as actively broken.
6 / 10
A Darkest Dungeon-shaped tactical RPG about surviving the 1944 Warsaw Uprising, sold as a premium game in October 2019 — and, four years later, converted in place into a free game under a different publisher's name, with a chunk of its own systems stripped out and some recent buyers reporting they couldn't get a refund.
6 / 10
WayForward turns Atari's 1982 classic Yar's Revenge into a metroidvania starring hacker Emi Kimura, pairing genuinely inventive shoot-em-up hacking minigames with vibrant art and voice acting — undercut, by near-unanimous agreement among both critics and players, by dialogue widely described as painfully unfunny, and a metroidvania structure with much of its exploration and secret-finding stripped out.
6 / 10
A hand-drawn JRPG built by veterans of Final Fantasy and Vagrant Story, with a score by Hitoshi Sakimoto and a script from Kazushige Nojima, that its own players say doesn't play, read or animate like the pedigree behind it would suggest.
