The Rewinder 2
A beloved puzzle series pivots toward action, and splits its own audience The Rewinder 2 follows a well-regarded puzzle-adventure rooted in Chinese folklore and mythology, and it i

This Ain’t Even Poker, Ya Joker
A cheap, addictive card-flipping incremental with a genuinely novel finite structure and a Balatro-adjacent hook, praised for its carnival atmosphere and short, satisfying loop, while a large, detailed share of its own review corpus flags misleading store screenshots, an unbalanced ascension curve and a developer gone quiet for months.

Titans of the Past
A first-person, party-based dungeon crawler that grafts a Superhot-style "time moves as you move" system onto old-school Wizardry and Might and Magic-style blobber combat, earning devoted praise from genre veterans for its character building and combat feel, while a real, detailed share of players argue a thin map pool and an abrupt post-launch support wind-down undercut its long-term potential.

Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3 + 4 review
Iron Galaxy's remake compilation nails the skating feel that made Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 1 + 2 a hit, but a heavily restructured, content-cut version of Pro Skater 4 and a late-revealed AI-generated asset controversy leave this "Mixed" follow-up well short of its predecessor's reception.

Trials of Innocence
Phoenix Wright fan-fiction, worn proudly as a badge Trials of Innocence doesn't hide what it's building on. It's a courtroom detective visual novel structured almost ex

True Fear: Forsaken Souls Part 3
Seven years in the making, for a divided reception True Fear: Forsaken Souls Part 3 closes out a psychological horror point-and-click trilogy that began as a hidden-object game and

Unbound Souls
A short, wave-based action RPG where clearing encounters opens up a small world to explore, with a light crafting and leveling system underneath simple, smooth combat and a modest story, praised by its small early audience for a polished, enjoyable if grindy few hours.
6 / 10
Upload Labs
A free-to-play node-based system-management idler from EnigmaDev Studios that thousands of reviewers describe as genuinely, dangerously addictive, undercut by a controversial 2.0 update that reviewers say reset progress and dramatically increased grind and monetisation, plus a missing undo button that several players report has erased hours of careful work in a single misclick.

Voidsayer Review
Pokémon, If the World Had Already Lost Voidsayer takes the structure of a classic monster-taming jRPG and drenches it in dread. The store page sets the tone immediately: "The

Wall World 2
Developer and publisher Alawar returns to its mining roguelite with Wall World 2, a bigger, mission-structured sequel to 2023's Wall World, earning praise for its expanded city hub, meta progression and new enemies from a Mostly Positive review base sharply divided by a dominant complaint that its mission-based structure and per-run upgrade resets betray what made the original's open-ended climb so appealing.
6 / 10
Warside
A fast-paced Advance Wars-style tactics game that launched with promised features missing and a genuinely broken economy system, provoking real backer anger — followed by an unusually sustained year of active patching that has narrowed, without fully closing, the gap between what was promised and what shipped.
6 / 10
Wildgate
A genuinely inventive PvPvE ship-to-ship shooter from Mike Morhaime's post-Blizzard studio Dreamhaven, whose own review corpus keeps reaching for the same uncomfortable comparison — Evolve, the celebrated multiplayer game that died from bad monetisation and marketing rather than bad gameplay — to describe a declining playerbase several reviewers say is putting the whole game's survival at risk.
6 / 10
Wild Growth
A short, sharply-designed incremental healer game that condenses the specific thrill of MMO raid healing into a few focused hours, earning devoted praise from ex-healers while a real, detailed minority argues its resource grind and thin build variety undercut the loop it's built around.
6 / 10
Woolly
A solo developer's slow, deliberately gentle idle sheep-collecting game with more than 50 fleece patterns to discover — genuinely adorable by near-unanimous agreement, but thin enough in content for its price that even reviewers who liked it question whether shearing, feeding and breeding sheep is quite enough to fill the hours a full-price purchase implies.

XENOBREAKERS: Classic Tower Defense
A love letter to browser-era tower defense XENOBREAKERS: Classic Tower Defense makes its intentions clear right in its subtitle: this is a deliberately traditional take on the genr

Your Big, Cute Monster Farm
KaiPlay Studio's Your Big, Cute Monster Farm turns a corner of the desktop into a Rusty's Retirement-style idle farm tended by fusible monster companions, earning a Mostly Positive reception for its charming presentation and flexible hands-on-or-off pacing, tempered by a dominant, heavily repeated complaint about steep, exponentially scaling late-game costs that stall progress for hundreds of hours.

Zexion
A love letter to NES Metroid, for better and worse Zexion wears its influences openly, leaning hard into the aesthetic and structural DNA of the original NES Metroid while building

Mad Experiments: Escape Room - Sanctuary Review: A Great Puzzle Box With No Save Button
A first-person, co-op-friendly escape room set in a cursed convent, praised for its atmosphere and clever, hand-crafted puzzles, but hampered by a single long environment with no mid-session save and a persistent 90-minute timer.

Mining Survivors Review: A Short, Sweet Loop That Runs Out of Ore Fast
A budget-priced mining-and-horde-survival hybrid earns real praise for its addictive early hours, but a recurring chorus of reviewers says the game's content runs dry well before its prestige and roguelike systems have anything meaningful to offer.

Mother Machine
A cooperative platformer about customisable gremlin creatures climbing procedurally generated alien caves for a mysterious robotic overseer, with genuinely great movement let down by recurring bugs and an expensive DLC.

Temple of the Green Moon Review: A Strong Atmosphere Undone by a Rough Ending
OLKON Games' psychological-thriller adventure earns real praise for its story, atmosphere, and soundtrack, but reviewers repeatedly flag the same problem: a game that builds toward something and then simply stops.

The Hollow Lighthouse
A solo first-person survival horror game about a lighthouse keeper stranded on a fog-shrouded island, chasing fuel cans and fuses to keep the light burning while something unseen watches from the dark.
5.9 / 10
The Supper: New Blood
A gruesome, funny point-and-click about a motel owner who cooks his guests, hurt by a demo that promised a deeper, more consequential game than the repetitive full release delivers.
