Moose Diver
An underwater incremental game about a moose in a diving helmet vacuuming coins off the seabed, offering a chill, satisfying upgrade loop early on that curdles into repetition and visibility problems the deeper you dive.

World War Legion Review: A WWII Reskin That Can't Quite Outrun Its Source
Alfa Bravo Inc's free-to-play WWII shooter delivers easy, satisfying gunplay for casual players, but a large share of its Steam reviews accuse it of being a near-identical reskin of the developer's earlier game Combat Master -- and cheating and review-manipulation complaints muddy the picture further.

CraftCraft: Fantasy Merchant Simulator Review: A Charming Cast Wrapped Around a Half-Built Game
A cozy crafting visual novel about running a fantasy curio shop, praised for its art, voice acting and rhythm-based crafting, but weighed down at launch by a too-short story, bugs, and a barebones endless mode that reviewers say don't yet justify the asking price.
4.8 / 10
CROW
A three-person team's homage to PS1/PS2-era open-world action, CROW nails its rooftop-parkour aesthetic and its own custom-built engine, but its combat, guidance, and technical polish lag well behind its ambition.

Last Outpost Review: A Familiar Formula, Less Polished
Troyd Games' post-apocalyptic base-defense strategy game leans hard on a day/night prep-and-survive loop reviewers repeatedly compare to Thronefall, delivering real value at a low price but falling short on build variety and combat balance.

Meow or Never
A polished-looking pass-and-play card game for js13k 2025 whose core tap-to-play mechanic was confirmed working directly, undermined by a hard requirement for extra human players, an unprompted forced-fullscreen jump, and a harsh full-screen red flash on any mistap.

Storm Lancers Review: Fun Movement Undercut by Bugs and Thin Content
ProbablyMonsters' co-op roguelite platformer has genuinely satisfying combat and mobility, but reviewers describe a level-3 bug severe enough to crash runs, a campaign clearable in about an hour, and a launch that feels closer to Early Access than a finished release.

Medieval Crafter: Blacksmith Review: A Satisfying Hammer, A Rocky Road to 1.0
A blacksmithing sim that pairs a genuinely satisfying forge-and-hammer loop with hero-dungeon management, but whose long, rocky Early Access stretch and persistent interface bugs still show through after its move to full release.

The Lightkeeper
A short, visually striking horror walking sim about a haunted lighthouse, whose stunning cinematography is overshadowed for many players by its heavy, inconsistently-disclosed use of AI-generated assets.
4.7 / 10
Zombie Diner Simulator
A restaurant-management sim about cooking brains for zombie customers and shooting the impatient ones, whose committed premise is undercut for many players by a rough, sometimes broken full release.
4.7 / 10
Coffee Express: Barista Simulator
A cheap, cozy coffee-brewing sim with a genuinely distinctive focus on the actual craft of making drinks, undercut by clunky unbindable controls, stressfully short in-game days, and undisclosed AI-generated decoration art.

Book Bound

Fire Emblem Shadows
A shadow-dropped mobile spin-off that swaps Fire Emblem Heroes' gacha for a genuinely fairer season-pass model and grafts on an Among Us-style hidden-traitor mechanic, an experiment critics almost universally say fails on its own tactical terms — Metacritic's second-worst reviewed game of 2025 — even as its App Store audience rates it considerably more kindly.

Idle Pixel Fantasy
A free, charmingly drawn pixel-art idle clicker that most players finish in under four hours and largely enjoy for what it is, undercut by resource usage several reviewers describe as alarming for such a simple game and a DLC presentation several find pushed harder than the content underneath deserves.
4.5 / 10
Loot of Idle
A cheap pixel-art idle item-stacker whose Early Access launch was marked by a level-scaling bug that independent reviewers in four different languages describe breaking their save, and a developer who reportedly responded to critics with a public video rather than a patch.

Misty Judgment

Private Military Manager: Tactical Auto Battler
A genuinely clever mercenary-management auto-battler that KRAFTON's studio partner abandoned just 73 days into Early Access, confirmed by the developer's own announcement rather than review-corpus rumour — leaving a 3-4 hour prologue standing in for the game it was going to be.

Rune Legacy Idle
An OSRS-flavoured idle RPG with co-op and PvP that borrows Melvor Idle's whole formula and genuinely improves on its art, undone by a save system that has been erasing players' progress since launch day and, months later, still isn't reliably fixed.

Scrap Collector
Stacklands, in miniature, on a ruptured earth Scrap Collector borrows the well-liked card-stacking, combine-and-automate formula popularized by Stacklands and applies it to a post-
