Overwatch
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.

Street Fighter 6
Capcom's genre-redefining fighting game remains Very Positive across nearly 78,000 Steam reviews, widely credited with the best netcode and most accessible entry point the series has ever offered — undercut by a real, remarkably consistent, mathematically verifiable complaint that its premium currency is deliberately priced so purchases never divide evenly, a pattern independently described in near-identical terms by reviewers spanning tens to well over a thousand hours.

Colony Ship: A Post-Earth Role Playing Game
A generation-ship RPG from the Age of Decadence developers, offering genuinely outstanding writing and consequential choices aboard a decaying vessel bound for Proxima Centauri — hobbled by combat and skill systems a large share of its own fans find genuinely frustrating.
6.5 / 10
MARVEL SNAP
The best-designed digital card game in years, attached to an acquisition economy where the complaint isn't that you can pay to win — it's that you can't reliably pay to get the card you want at all.
6.5 / 10
Outpath
A satisfying first-island crafting loop that thins out badly afterwards — 93% positive lifetime, 80% across its last hundred reviews, and a free prologue that some players think is better designed than the paid game.
6.5 / 10
Palia
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.

Ready or Not
A tense, tactically excellent SWAT shooter whose lifetime score is still recovering from a massive, well-documented 2025 review-bomb after the developer retroactively censored the PC version to match a new console release — recent sentiment suggests the wound is healing, but slowly.
6.5 / 10
Starfield
The clearest case in this library of a Steam score that has become a historical document — a Mixed badge earned in 2023 sitting on top of a game that, three years and a flight update later, its current players mostly recommend.
6.5 / 10
Torchlight: Infinite
A free seasonal ARPG that borrows the Torchlight name and little of its soul, built instead around a genuinely deep hero-trait talent system, gacha pets that quietly cross the line the developer said it wouldn't cross, and a trade market that taxes you on the way out.
6.5 / 10
Whiteout Survival
A frozen-apocalypse city-builder that plays fair for the first month and then quietly hands the server to whoever's alliance has the deepest wallets — the honest question isn't whether it's generous early on, it's where that generosity actually stops.
6.5 / 10
Cities: Skylines II
Colossal Order's sequel to the beloved city-builder launched into one of the genre's most severe, well-documented disasters — severe performance failures, a "fake" simulation several reviewers describe finding through direct testing, and a real CEO controversy over blaming the community for backlash. This review can confirm, via the developer's own communications, that Colossal Order and publisher Paradox split entirely in November 2025, with a new studio, Iceflake Studios, now credited by a real, growing share of reviewers with a genuine turnaround since taking over development in 2026.
6 / 10
Fae Farm
A cozy magical farming sim that survived its own near-death experience — two rounds of studio layoffs, an announced shutdown of its online features, and a last-minute rescue by a new publisher just days before the servers were due to go dark.
6 / 10
Sun Haven
A farming sim with classes, magic and dragons, sold for twelve dollars with a hundred and seventy-four dollars of DLC behind it. Its recent reviews have collapsed to 74% — and most of them aren't about the farming.
6 / 10
Idle Build RPG
One entry in a whole shelf of near-identical cheap idle RPGs from the same solo developer, with genuine long-term depth for players who push through — and a first hour so poorly explained that one reviewer called it "the easiest refund of my life."
5.5 / 10
Last War: Survival
The game built to match its own fake advertisement, and one of the highest-grossing mobile titles on earth. Rated 4.7 by nearly half a million people, mocked everywhere else as a bait-and- switch — and both of those are accurate descriptions of what happens after you install it.
5.5 / 10
ARK: Survival Ascended
A ground-up Unreal Engine 5 remaster of one of survival gaming's biggest franchises, sold as a paid upgrade that a huge share of its own reviewers say carried over the original's bugs while demanding hardware far beyond what the visual improvements justify.
5 / 10
Snowbreak: Containment Zone
A well-liked sci-fi gacha shooter with unusually generous pull rates is in the middle of a live revolt after a content-moderation pass altered or removed material a large number of players had already paid for, with no compensation offered.
