A four-player co-op deckbuilder that solves the genre's most obvious gap — playing Slay the Spire-style card combat as an actual shared party instead of a shared seed — and then spends the years after its Paradox acquisition undermining that achievement with DLC pricing its own community calls predatory.
6.5 / 10
The gather-craft-expand loop that launched a hundred imitators, and one of the most effective opening hours in any game of its type. It's also been abandoned since 2020 with a promised multiplayer mode that never arrived — and it still sells at full price.
6.5 / 10
The officially licensed D&D idle game turns line-up positioning into a real tactical puzzle, then buries that good idea under one of the most persistent monetisation engines in the idle genre.
6.5 / 10
A gorgeous Castlevania-meets-Dark-Souls action RPG whose strong opening hours give way, by a large share of its own reviewers' account, to boss reuse and repetitive combat -- and whose launch was briefly derailed by a real, since-resolved controversy over an overreaching EULA.
6.5 / 10
A run-and-gun arcade legend reborn as a slow, careful roguelite tactics game -- genuinely loved for its art, music and fan service, genuinely argued over for trading Metal Slug's trademark panic for turn-based patience.
6.5 / 10
A free-to-play cozy MMO that survived its own studio nearly collapsing under it — Singularity 6 laid off around 40% of its staff across 2023 and 2024 before Daybreak Game Company bought the studio outright, and the game that emerged is still being patched roughly every three to four weeks in 2026. What it hasn't fixed is a monetisation model that increasingly charges real money to actually use rewards you already earned by playing.
6.5 / 10
A co-op sky-island survival game that trades hunger bars and monsters for solar panels and delivery drones — charming and genuinely clever in its energy systems, but its progression runs out of new ideas long before the credits.
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
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
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
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 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
Everyone expects the complaint about this game to be Ultimate Team. It isn't — Ultimate Team appears in 14 of its hundred most-helpful negative reviews, and memory leaks, resetting settings and save-wiping crashes appear in far more.
5.5 / 10
A zombie-survivors auto-shooter that bolts a permadeath mercenary camp onto the Vampire Survivors formula, then largely stopped receiving new content the year after it left Early Access. The base-building risk-reward loop is genuinely distinct; the 330-achievement grind underneath it is not.
5.5 / 10
The Torchlight series' return from a scrapped free-to-play MMO experiment landed as a slimmer, shallower action RPG than its beloved predecessor — and six years on, its Mixed Steam rating hasn't moved an inch, even as the studio that made it no longer exists.
5.5 / 10
A gorgeous, Breath of the Wild-indebted survival roguelite about a shipwrecked warrior sailing between procedural islands — praised for its art and boat-building, undercut by a identity crisis between story, survival and permadeath that most players never resolve, since fewer than one in eleven ever finishes it.
5.5 / 10
A charming season-manipulation fantasy adventure with a genuinely smart central mechanic and a well-told story, sunk at launch by a level of bugs, screen-tearing and broken abilities that both critics and players describe as feeling closer to a beta than a finished game.
5 / 10
A genuinely novel pitch — Prohibition-era Chicago as a hybrid of XCOM tactics and Civilization-style empire management — from Doom co-creator John Romero's studio, undone by a buggy, shallow launch and, three years later, an outright abandonment that left a paid, pre-purchased second expansion permanently unreleased.
