365 reviews
A first-person prison survival sim that launched into Early Access on 5 August 2026 with a broken opening objective — every one of its first user reviews describes the morning roll call softlocking progress, and a hotfix the next day only partly closed the gap between the pitch and the build.
3.5 / 10
A post-apocalyptic survival game set in a hand-built Dutch landscape, sold as a finished product at full price, with no save function in single-player. Quit, crash or lose connection and the run is gone. Everything else wrong with it is downstream of decisions like that one.
3.5 / 10
Booming Tech's own developer FAQ promised this would not be a standalone game and would build on existing Conqueror's Blade characters. It shipped a week ago as a separate free Steam app with its own client, a gacha wall in front of core unit progression, and no siege matchmaking at launch — and 15% of roughly 1,950 Steam reviews are positive.
3 / 10
A free, solo-developed fantasy survival and settlement-builder that its own store page admits is "an early test version currently intended only for selected players" — and its first reviewers, largely sympathetic to the idea, confirm that disclaimer is accurate rather than modest.
3 / 10
A two-day-old NZ$7.89 Steam release whose name promises a multiplayer battle royale but whose own store page describes a single-player wave shooter against AI soldiers, with zero user reviews, zero recorded concurrent players and a disclosed AI-generated-asset credit.
