MIR4
A genuinely large-scale, systems-dense K-fantasy MMORPG whose launch became a cryptocurrency story before it became a game story, and whose Steam review base is split almost exactly down that same line.

Mirror's Edge
DICE's first-person parkour game sends runner Faith across a stylized, sun-bleached city, built around momentum-based free-running rather than gunplay — reviewers still praise its striking, un-imitated visual identity and the genuine thrill of a clean traversal run, while a large, specific cluster of complaints targets inconsistent climbing/grab mechanics, a rough melee-combat system, and a real 2023 delisting scare that EA has since walked back.
6.5 / 10
MOCHI-O
A wonderfully weird, near-universally adored tower-defense-meets-bullet-heaven game about a weaponised hamster saving a collapsing world, with a handful of small but real launch-week bugs.
8.5 / 10
Moldwasher
A charming pixel-art cleaning game starring a sushi hero armed with a pressure washer, praised for its satisfying mechanics, art, and music but criticized by reviewers for a very short runtime, shallow tool upgrades, and a few specific navigation and design missteps.
7 / 10
Monster Alchemy
An Early Access creature-crafting RPG about synthesising and fusing monsters rather than catching them, praised by a strongly positive launch sample for its art, world and fusion system, but honest about an early-access world that still feels sparsely populated and a handful of reported bugs.
7 / 10
Monster Crown
A genuinely inventive monster-breeding RPG with a darker Pokémon-adjacent premise and a crossbreeding system its own fans call one of the best in the genre, sitting inside a game that a remarkably large share of its players — across four years of reviews — describe as too bug-riddled to finish.
5 / 10
Monster Girl Therapy
Monster Girl Therapy is a short, RPG Maker-built interactive narrative from solo German developer Zwiebelspiele about talking six monster girls through their problems before their crumbling fantasy world disappears, and this review's sample finds a wholesome, well-written 3-to-5-hour experience whose most striking quality is an unusually candid, publicly-documented developer behind it.
6.5 / 10
Monster Hunter Stories 2: Wings of Ruin
A turn-based Monster Hunter spin-off about raising and riding monsters instead of slaughtering them, with a genuinely likeable combat triangle buried under sixty-plus hours of the same egg-hunting den crawl.
7 / 10
Monsters are Coming!
Ludogram's "Tower-Survivor" mashup of tower defence and Vampire Survivors-style horde combat, protecting an ever-moving city instead of a fixed base, wins over players with a genuinely fresh premise and strong art direction, while a large, detailed and specific majority of its critical reviews argue the difficulty curve, meta-progression grind and shallow upgrade synergies needed considerably more time in the oven before launch.
5.5 / 10
Monsters' Den: Book of Vengeance Review
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
Monster Shop Simulator
A fantasy shop-management sim about hatching and selling magical monsters from eggs, earning genuine day-one praise for its charm and relaxing loop, but held back by disclosed AI-generated artwork several reviewers found off-putting, a game-breaking pricing exploit, and reviewer complaints about thin long-term content.
5.5 / 10
MOONROT
A short, dread-soaked drive on an alien moon MOONROT puts players behind the wheel of a small rover named HOPE, tasked with crossing a desolate lunar landscape to photograph anomal
6.8 / 10
MORSE
Brighton-based studio ALJO Games delivers a minimalist wave-based strategy game that turns real Morse code into its entire control scheme, tasking players with defending against the Kaiser's Imperial Fleet using telegraphy, timing and tactics, earning genuinely enthusiastic, specific praise for teaching a real skill through tense, well-designed gameplay, tempered by a smaller, detailed minority who found its input timing and interface choices work against the very thing it does best.
8 / 10
Morsels
A gorgeously drawn roguelite about a mouse who transforms into rotating creature-forms to fight back against a cat-ruled world, whose art and music win over almost everyone even as a vocal, specific complaint about unclear systems and a thin creature roster splits the room.
6.5 / 10
Mr. Sleepy Man
Mr. Sleepy Man is a solo-developed 3D platformer-collectathon soaked in N64-era nostalgia, and this review's sample shows a game whose music and surprisingly emotional writing consistently win people over even as the same handful of camera and control complaints show up again and again, in glowing reviews and critical ones alike.
7 / 10
MUKKE: Music Machine
MUKKE: Music Machine is a story-driven music-creation game from APETENSE Interactive set in a fictionalized 1978 Berlin, where players compose tracks on an unconventional "loop machine" as struggling musician Micky Zander, and this review's sample finds a genuinely loved creative toolset and voice cast let down by a full release that shipped with only a single chapter of story and has gone quiet since.
6.5 / 10
Mullet Mad Jack
A hyper-fast, neon-soaked FPS that drops players into a parody of 80s/90s anime, forcing constant forward momentum under a punishing ten-second kill-to-refill timer, whose sheer style and adjustable difficulty options win over most players even as a large, consistent minority argues its short runtime and repetitive room layouts leave it all flash and little substance.
7 / 10
Mushi
An idle/incremental fantasy RPG from the makers of Tower Walker, Mostly Positive across 86 reviews for a satisfying crafting loop and gorgeous art — undercut by an extremely consistent complaint that it plays as a near-reskin of its predecessor with too little genuine innovation, compounded by a well-corroborated retroactive power-nerf incident, though this review found real, verifiable evidence of an extraordinarily active post-launch update cadence that has since added genuine new endgame content.
6 / 10
Mushroom Simulator Co-op
A tiny, chaotic co-op party game from Nimble Starship where you play a mushroom growing by yelling into your microphone while dodging worms and a basket-wielding forager, Very Positive across 115 reviews for its short, funny sessions with friends — held back by a genuine microphone-calibration bug that leaves some players unable to progress.
6.5 / 10
My Idle Space Cruiser
A solo-developed desktop-widget idler about a cruiser flying to the edge of the observable universe, whose own review sample splits cleanly between players who find its honesty about being small genuinely relaxing and one who calls three total upgrades "barely a thing."
6.5 / 10
My Last War
My Last War is a free experimental World War I kinetic novel from solo studio Prussian Productions, casting players as Maria Strauss, a philosophically-minded 19-year-old German sergeant determined to end the war after a revealing dream, and this review's unanimous small sample praises its unusual anime-meets-early-20th-century-art identity and genuinely serious themes while being clear-eyed about how little traditional gameplay it offers.
7 / 10
My Party Is Grinding
SUPERLINK's free idle RPG lives in a tiny transparent window pinned to a corner of your desktop, where five heroes fight through 200 stages while you work. The premise is genuinely clever and the crafting systems run deep, but the game is barely a month old, its written review count is still too small to read as a verdict, and its own achievement data hints at a difficulty wall most players never get past.
6 / 10
MyRobot
MyRobot is a robot-building sandbox from tiny developer sgthale where players customize companion robots and talk to them through an optional AI chat system, and this review's sample finds a genuinely inventive, funny toybox undercut by real save-corruption bugs and a token-based AI monetization scheme that curious players should understand before buying.
6.5 / 10
Mystic Archipelago Review
A budget RPG Maker idle RPG that delivers exactly what its short feature list promises and not much else, hurt further by a reported crash and zero visible post-launch support.
