825 reviews
A Flash-game-inspired island-conquest strategy title with a genuinely large feature list -- 80 levels, dozens of unlockables, an orchestral score -- but almost no public review base yet to confirm whether that scope holds up in practice.
3 / 10
A cheap, reincarnation-driven idle RPG about a goblin repeatedly dying and rebirthing to grow strong enough to topple a series of princess bosses, whose large Chinese-language-majority review base consistently praises its collectible art and humour while raising real, specific concerns about shallow build depth, tedious manual upkeep, and one detailed allegation of inflated review counts.
3 / 10
A co-op action roguelite with genuinely excellent combat that's been badly let down by thin content, negligible meta-progression, and a full price that most of its own reviewers say doesn't match what's on offer.
3 / 10
A stop-motion-animated turn-based tactics game about sacrificing squads of 'Veterans' against overwhelming enemy numbers, whose two earliest reviewers split sharply on the exact same feature -- one calling the voice acting 'spot on,' the other finding it grating within the first room.
3 / 10
A flashy, combo-driven hack-and-slash roguelite that most of its reviewers call genuinely fun to play, undercut by a sprawling, overlapping rune-currency system some find satisfyingly deep and others call an inscrutable mess, plus rough voice mixing and a year of apparent silence from the developer since its last patch.
3 / 10
An Early Access return to the classic Monsters' Den formula -- turn-based, portrait-based party dungeon crawling with a new dual-class system -- whose Positive review sample is driven largely by long-time series nostalgia, tempered by a recurring, independently corroborated complaint about the game's AI-generated art and a thinner-than-expected amount of content for a nearly two-decade-old franchise.
3 / 10
Starmoon Cat's pixel-art Brotato-like survives its own influences with charming presentation and satisfying wave combat, but a Very Positive review sample flags a flat difficulty curve, samey weapon builds, and a worryingly thin post-launch update cadence.
3 / 10
A slot-machine-driven dungeon crawler that swaps traditional turn-based combat for spinning reels of weapons, spells, and hazards, whose small but Very Positive review sample praises its distinctive hook and cheap price while repeatedly flagging punishing RNG, a lack of meta-progression, and a handful of specific balance bugs.
3 / 10
Gregdude's Kickstarter-funded Halloween-themed monster collector, a Pokemon-meets-SMT RPG set in the cozy settlement of New Haven, whose Mostly Positive review sample praises genuinely striking creature and world design undercut by a baffling absence of basic quality-of-life features, no controller support, and a story that several reviewers say stops abruptly.
3 / 10
A tight, narrative-focused colony-sim idler about a crew of raccoons building a trash empire, whose small but consistently warm review sample praises its art and polish while one detailed negative review flags a genuine shortage of quality-of-life conveniences and a single, fixed path to completion.
3 / 10
A story-driven horror-mystery puzzle game about following a stranger's unnerving remote instructions, with only two public reviews on record -- one describing broken puzzle logic at launch, the other a longer, more forgiving account of a responsive developer patching around the same kind of issue in real time.
3 / 10
Forever Entertainment's grid-based tactical RPG sequel, refining its predecessor's Fire Emblem-inspired systems with bigger battles and deeper customisation, whose Mixed review sample splits between genuine praise for its combat refinements and real frustration with a sparse story, weak tutorial, and an easy, occasionally buggy difficulty curve.
3 / 10
A broken game that became a phenomenon anyway School Teacher Simulator sets out, per its own description, to be a fairly conventional day-in-the-life simulator: manage a classroom,
3 / 10
Positive Concept Games' loving homage to SNES-era classics like Illusion of Gaia, Soul Blazer, and Secret of Mana earns Very Positive reviews for its nostalgic charm, art, and local co-op, but a meaningful share of the same sample calls its combat stiff and repetitive and its unskippable dialogue a real drag on pacing.
3 / 10
A cute, cheap dice-driven Monopoly-style roguelike starring a nightmare-fighting cat, praised by its small early audience as relaxing and charming, though held back by unclear item stacking, thin tutorialisation, and no way to speed up its dice animations.
3 / 10
Blue Goo Games and Kwalee's cosmic cooking-and-exploration sim, six years in public development, whose Mostly Positive review sample praises a genuinely addictive Stardew-meets-Starbound-meets-Overcooked loop, undercut by a widely and specifically repeated complaint about a confusing, guide-required progression system and a punishing early-game grind.
3 / 10
A minimalist, emoji-illustrated idle farming game about planting, watering, and harvesting seeds that double in price and payout, whose small review sample splits sharply between players who find its zen simplicity deliberate and satisfying and others who find the same simplicity a sign of missing depth -- a genuine prestige system, confirmed by Steam's own achievement data, sits closer to the middle of that disagreement than either side allows.
3 / 10
Onion Games' spiritual successor to the cult classic Moon: Remix RPG Adventure, a surreal fairy-tale RPG whose Mostly Positive review sample praises stunning art, music, and writing but splits sharply over a cryptic, Undertale-inspired combat system many reviewers found frustrating and unfair.
3 / 10
Fix-a-Bug's satirical, pop-culture-soaked dungeon crawler, two years in public demo development, whose Mostly Positive review sample praises genuinely funny writing and charm but splits sharply over timing-based combat, a pointless crafting system, and repeated late-game difficulty and stability complaints.
3 / 10
Pri Games' tower defense/idle hybrid pairs satisfying wave-clearing spectacle and a no-fail-state design with a genuinely divided Mixed reception, as a large share of its review sample finds the campaign short, the endless mode broken, and the developer gone quiet on feedback.
3 / 10
A desktop-overlay idle game about buying, stocking, and upgrading vending machines across a growing city street, whose large, Mixed-rated 67-review sample -- majority Chinese-language -- repeatedly corroborates specific launch bugs around auto-restocking and achievement tracking, several of which the developer has since directly acknowledged and patched.
3 / 10
A bare, aggressively monetised mobile-tapper port whose own paid "Farmer's Pack" is independently reported by multiple reviewers to break the game's economy outright, on top of an idle game that several reviewers say isn't actually idle at all.
2.5 / 10
An extraction shooter that charges you twice Last Remains asks players to survive a zombie-overrun city, scavenging loot, fighting off both the undead and rival human survivors, an
2.5 / 10
A charming desktop-companion idle game about raising and gacha-collecting pixel fish, undercut at launch by a save system that repeatedly failed to persist progress between sessions -- a bug the developer claimed to fix within days, but which reviewers kept reporting for months afterward.
