3120 reviews
An Early Access turn-based tactical roguelite from the makers of Othercide, praised by a mixed launch sample for its striking visual style and delay-based turn manipulation, but criticised by a vocal minority for balance issues, camera limitations, and a design that several reviewers say leans too heavily on the studio's previous game.
6 / 10
A two-day-old two-player co-op puzzle platformer built entirely around a single mechanic — shooting a laser from your own eye to push or pull your partner through obstacles neither of you could clear alone — priced at NZ$2.39 with zero user reviews and zero recorded concurrent players at the time of checking.
6 / 10
A short, unforgiving survival management game from solo developer Unoptimized Bird about an AI-controlled train carrying a rescued human toward the End of the World, drawing an extremely small English review sample that praises its distinctive, Frostpunk-flavoured atmosphere and story-through-exploration structure, tempered by fair, corroborated complaints about a short runtime priced too steeply for what it offers.
6 / 10
A Fourth Consecutive Launch With No Reviews to Cite Fallen Isekai released on Steam on 18 August 2026, and despite being on sale for over a month by the time of writing, it still h
6 / 10
An Early Access party-based CRPG inspired by old-school tabletop dungeon crawling, sending a band of six heroes into the ruined fortress beneath Mount Garang with deliberate exploration, tactical combat and a distinctive automated-decision system for managing the party, drawing a small, largely positive but genuinely early reception that flags real promise alongside a specific combat-lag bug and a very limited character-portrait pool.
6 / 10
A Twenty-Fifth Consecutive Launch Without a Single Review Farmer and Ghost released on Steam on 17 August 2026 and has zero user reviews at the time of writing, extending this stre
6 / 10
The sixth entry in Rayll's found-footage-style horror anthology trades its usual solo-player format for an exclusively online co-op experience, and becomes the series' best- selling episode yet despite a genuinely rough, since-patched launch and a back half that most reviewers agree runs out of ideas.
6 / 10
A polished, self-aware short incremental about raising an AI into a Tyrant, Rational or Protector — well-loved for launching genuinely finished, and specifically accused by more than one reviewer of being paced to just outlast Steam's refund window.
6 / 10
A cheap, genuinely addictive first-person hack-and-slash-meets-shopkeeping hybrid that a huge review sample agrees is fun for its first several hours, undercut by an exceptionally well-corroborated complaint that its full 1.0 release ships with barely more content than an Early Access build, alongside repeated reports of serious bugs including complete shop-inventory wipes.
6 / 10
A Lumber Empire That Builds Itself Fellwood casts the player as the operator of an escalating fantasy woodcutting encampment: place buildings that fling axes, ballistas, cannons, a
6 / 10
A free-to-play, Early Access idle MMORPG set against the Investiture of the Gods mythology, earning a small but Positive early reception for its nostalgic Legend of Mir-style grind and mythological setting, tempered by a language-barrier complaint and its own honest status as an unfinished Early Access release.
6 / 10
The first-ever official Steam release of the beloved 2009 browser puzzle-platformer, delivering genuine, felt nostalgia and a nice Remote Play Together addition, undercut by a specific, well-corroborated cluster of port-quality bugs including framerate-tied door and movement glitches, overlapping music tracks, restart-triggered softlocks, and reports that Remote Play Together itself frequently fails to work at all.
6 / 10
A cozy incremental fishing spin-off from the Fish to Dish studio, where charm and a fair price win over most players despite a confirmed use of generative AI art that upset a vocal minority, and a specific, repeatedly confirmed design flaw — the game's essential convenience features stay locked away until right before the credits roll.
6 / 10
A comedic Vampire Survivors-style roguelike brawler from SCRAPIEDEE S.R.L. casting players as a furious rabbit unleashing absurd abilities on waves of enemies, drawing a small, uniformly positive English review sample praising its fast-paced fun and humor, tempered by a detailed reviewer's account of specific level-breaking bugs and a promotional-skew concern.
6 / 10
A genuinely inventive asymmetrical co-op horror game splitting one team between a van-bound Operator and an on-foot Explorer, praised for tense, communication-driven gameplay in its first chapter, but clouded by multiple reviewers independently reporting that the developer has announced putting the game on hold barely two months after Early Access launch.
6 / 10
Built with consultation from a real German state police forensics unit, Forensics: Crime Scene Detective nails the meticulous, unglamorous reality of evidence collection and lab analysis — but a confusing tutorial, a stealthy score-gated progression system, and launch-week bugs left a large share of buyers thinking they'd bought a two-hour tech demo.
6 / 10
An Unreal Engine 5 FPV drone-racing simulator in Early Access from FPVLabs, Mixed across 99 reviews — enthusiast pilots consistently praise the most realistic flight physics they've felt in any sim, but steep hardware demands, a two-map content limit, and real controller-recognition problems are holding back a wider recommendation.
6 / 10
A Single Rock and a Very Long Road to an Industrial Empire Fracture Field starts small: one rock, one timed swing, one satisfying thwack. Solo developer Type Ten's debut is an
6 / 10
Six Reviews, Mixed: Loved for Its Look, Criticized for Its Depth Frog It Up launched on Steam on 17 September 2026 from solo-attributed developer and publisher Starfall Games, and
6 / 10
A first-person precision platformer that repackages the free Source-engine movement scene — surf, bhop and climb, born in Half-Life and Counter-Strike 1.6 mods — as a standalone Steam release with themed maps, Steam Achievements and leaderboards to chase. Released 6 August 2026 with no user-review corpus yet to weigh it against.
6 / 10
A cozy 2D clicker-incremental from solo developer HFBros about gathering, crafting, and building in a snowy valley to help a wizard dog named Pitty reach a legendary staff, drawing a small but mostly positive review sample that credits its relaxing progression while flagging a fair, corroborated complaint about repetitive, tedious late-game mechanics.
6 / 10
A cozy capsule-toy shop tycoon sim in the TCG Card Shop Simulator vein, entering Early Access with a genuinely appealing theme and real charm, undercut by input-freezing bugs, micromanagement friction, and an undisclosed use of AI-generated art that several reviewers say cost the game their trust.
6 / 10
A cozy incremental 4X hybrid from solo studio Ace High Arcade about conquering planets and resetting galaxies for permanent upgrades, drawing a small, mostly positive English review sample praising its relaxing, approachable loop and responsive developer, tempered by fair complaints about an unresolved identity between idle game and strategy game, a short completion time, and some rough automation options.
6 / 10
An Idle Game That Refuses to Idle Garden Eternal bills itself as a cozy idle clicker — tap a glowing Heart, raise bees and buildings, draft cards through the seasons — and that pit
