In their words

The highest-weighted reviews that matched.

Truncated to the first few hundred characters as they were in the harvest reports. The weight beside each is one plus the natural log of one plus its helpful votes.

Halls of Torment is everything I wanted from this emerging genre. I tend not to be in the business of reviewing Early Access titles and I imagine I have untold gameplay hours ahead of me still, but as I near the 20hr mark I can compare apples to apples and oranges. And, confident
Halls of Torment · 53h playedw 6.9
Remember when Devs used to make games because they just wanted to make a good product, that respects players ability to overcome challenges, to think for themselves instead of handholding every step of the player's journey (cof cof Blizzard 2024) and that has enough content for i
Death Must Die · 17h playedw 6.3
[h3]Let It In...[/h3] This game's not a looker. The dev is open about a portion of the spritework being pre-bought assets, and dunno how they got away with so much Castlevania property. Most spell effects and colours appear half-baked, animation barely exists, even the bosses are

the price of this game compared to the amount of time you can spend playing it when youre a lonely depressed autistic person is certainly an amazing deal that i recommend

For less than the price of a pint you can be the owner of one of the most satisfying games ever made.. Everything is top notch in Vamp Survivors, the characters, the music, the world design and of course the gameplay; that was so fun that it kickstarted an entire genre. This game scratches an itc...
Vampire Survivors · 50h playedw 5.3
Map, inventory, and exp systems from diablo 2, enemy mob size from vampire survivors, skill system and mythos very similar to hades, original characters, and original score. Amazing buy for $7. 10/10.
Death Must Die · 122h playedw 5.2
"Bullet Heaven" is the term used to describe these type of games. They really had a massive reach this year after the success of Vampire Survivors. 20 Minutes Till Dawn is one of them,trying to capture the essence but greatly improved one of the features which many lacked, the ab

EDIT: I have nominated this game for "Best Game I suck at" because I do suck at this game, and I do like the game still. Seems like there's a rash of "Magic Survival" type games (where Magic Survival is a phone game on android) but this one is a little different. For one thing, u

340 hours of game play so for like $10 (including DLC). 100% achievements & 5 starred every vanilla character on both maps and now enjoying playing mod characters. Steam share also makes it a great game to just pick up and play with friends for 30-60 minutes. Fully recommend. My
Brotato · 488h playedw 4.6
Still the best surivaton, survivors-like, bullet-heaven game out there. Tons to do, cheap and collecting those sweet, sweet xp gems feels so good. I have started this game over and played a ton three times because of how good it feels and I have played hundreds of hours of games

Brotato is a fantastic game, one of the best "survivors-likes" on Steam. I personally prefer the term bullet heaven but this game leans more into the bullet hell genre if anything. It's much, much better than it might appear to you at first glance. Brotato has enough of its own i

I've played every game in the series, from the original arcade game in PGR2, to the mobile version, to GW2: RE, to the DS version, and everything in between. If you loved any of the past games, you'll love this one. It does not fail it's past predecessors, and is extremely good.
