Moon Studios spent over two years turning a thin, contentious Early Access launch into a nearly complete game — hand-painted world, precision souls-like combat, a real town to build up, and co-op that only actually arrived in January 2026 — with the full 1.0 release now dated for October 2026.
7.5 / 10
A demon-infested crusade that hands out nine ways to stop being human, wrapped around the most tabletop-faithful, least newcomer-friendly ruleset the CRPG revival has shipped — and a strategic army layer a large share of its own audience wishes it could turn off.
7.5 / 10
EA's own Steam comeback title after years of Origin exclusivity, and a rare EA-published single-player game with no microtransactions — but years on, its own negative review page reads less like a complaint about Cal Kestis's story and more like a case study in what a launcher requirement can do to an otherwise well-loved game's reputation.
7.5 / 10
Sabotage Studio's debut turns from an 8-bit Ninja Gaiden throwback into a 16-bit metroidvania halfway through, and that structural gamble is exactly what still divides its Steam reviews eight years later -- critics loved the twist in 2018, but a large share of players now say the backtracking-heavy second half undoes what the first half built.
7.5 / 10
A storybook hero discovers he can leap out of his own 2D picture-book pages into a 3D world around them, in one of 2024's most visually inventive and BAFTA-nominated indies — beloved for a concept and presentation critics and players agree is genuinely special, and just as consistently described by a real slice of its adult audience as a game built for children first, with gameplay depth and stability to match.
7.5 / 10
The 2006 Diablo alternative that swapped gothic horror for Greek, Egyptian and Asian mythology, revisited twenty years on through the Anniversary Edition that's now the only way to buy it.
7.5 / 10
A gleefully anti-capitalist heist roguelike starring gaming's most beloved sentient vegetable, trading the original Turnip Boy's adventure-game pacing for run-based combat that most of the fanbase has made peace with -- and a small, vocal minority hasn't.
7.5 / 10
A shipwreck-survival action RPG that turns rescuing NPCs into a settlement-building system and backs it with some of the fastest, most readable real-time combat Nihon Falcom has ever shipped. The PC version carries genuine baggage from a rough 2018 launch and a since-rewritten English script, but the game underneath both has aged well.
7.5 / 10
Fishing Cactus takes the Flash-era Shift games they helped build in 2008 and turns them into a full cyber-noir puzzle-platformer, with a level editor that outlasts the campaign — and a few real rough edges around connectivity and price.
7.2 / 10
A gorgeous, confident Bond origin story from the Hitman studio — that abandoned the sandbox design the Hitman studio is famous for, and asks NZ$99.99 for about fifteen hours you won't replay.
7 / 10
The best movement in any shooter, and a playerbase that turned on it — 85 of its hundred most-helpful negative reviews were written from 2024 onward, by players averaging 696 hours each.
7 / 10
A soft reboot that keeps the Brave and Default battle system and Asterisk job system that made the series' name, wrapped around a new cast and a story a meaningful share of its own Steam reviews call the weakest part of the package.
7 / 10
Cat Quest is exactly what its "Diablo with Cats" pitch promises — a small, cheerful, pun-stuffed open-world action RPG that turned out to be the first chapter of a genuine franchise rather than a one-off novelty. Nine years and two sequels later, the charm still lands; the fetch-quest padding underneath it is a different story.
7 / 10
The Gentlebros send their beloved cat-and-dog action RPG series to sea with a pirate theme, sharper combat and the same charming, pun-filled tone fans love — but at a higher price than its predecessor and, by both critic and player consensus, with noticeably less content than either of the two games it follows.
7 / 10
The clicker that turned clicking optional — ascension, Hero Souls and the Ancients tree came from here, and the idle RPG genre never really left. A retrospective look at whether the game that built the template still deserves a slot in 2026.
7 / 10
WayForward's faithful reimagining of the original 1987 Contra earns genuine affection from longtime fans for capturing the series' run-and-gun feel, but is dogged by two remarkably consistent complaints across its own review base — no online co-op despite marketing built around multiplayer, and a short arcade-length campaign priced closer to a full-scope modern release.
7 / 10
A lavish visual overhaul of the beloved 2007 PSP prequel to Final Fantasy VII, undercut by a recast lead voice that a real share of its own Very Positive review corpus can't get past, and mission structure that a remaster this expensive never actually rebuilt.
7 / 10
A tight, dark-fantasy dungeon-crawling roguelite where every choice trades short-term power for a rising curse meter — critically well-reviewed and Very Positive on Steam, with a vocal minority who bounce hard off its late-game difficulty and its lack of a Hades-style hub to soften the loop.
7 / 10
Ten years, 38 DLC packs and 924,876 reviews later, the complaint isn't the licensed horror store — DLC appears in nine of a hundred negative reviews. It's each other.
7 / 10
A charming, deeply likeable Disney life-sim whose 2022 Early Access promise of an eventual free-to-play release was formally scrapped in 2023 — a well-documented reversal that still shapes how existing players talk about the game more than two years later.
7 / 10
A Kickstarter-funded spiritual successor to Suikoden, built by the genre veterans who created it, that delivers on its hundred-recruit army-building promise while carrying a rough English localization and a completionist grind that its own Steam reviews argue about at length.
7 / 10
A tank full of orphaned children fighting a war with a superweapon fuelled by their own souls is one of the most genuinely uncomfortable premises in turn-based RPGs, wrapped around a linear, occasionally repetitive combat structure that doesn't always live up to it.
7 / 10
A survival-crafting game that replaces its genre's usual menu-driven fiddling with a diegetic system — you inspect your own wounds, dig leeches out with your fingers and physically reach into your pack for a fire kit — built around a sanity mechanic that can hallucinate you to death. A separate, heavily narrative Story Mode sits alongside the open sandbox and has drawn specific, credible criticism for how it depicts the Amazon's indigenous Yabahuaca people.
7 / 10
DrinkBox Studios' Mexican-folklore metroidvania sequel raised the difficulty on everything the beloved original was praised for -- and eight years of Steam reviews show a real split between players who call it the best the genre has to offer and a large minority who say the harder platforming and unresponsive controls broke what made the first game fun.
