Off-topic review bombs are something I've really noticed taking place on Steam over the last year. Steam is working on ways to counteract the off-topic reviews, while also trying to let people's opinions be heard. It seems to be working somewhat, but it's far from perfect. Off-topic review bombing isn't helpful in the slightest, when trying to decide whether the current product is any good. Yet, how else should a consumer let others know that a company is going off the rails?
Personally, I would love an option to also rate the developers/corporations behind games as well. Perhaps a second rating for a game is needed? One rating for the game, and one rating for the publisher.

Factorio definitely. Rimworld is a similar premise, but much different game.
Recently, I found Baba Is You, which is short but fun. Play it if you liked SpaceChem.
Simon Tatham's Portable Puzzle Collection is free/open source and included in Debian, but also can be played on the website, or on Android.

Not to mention a very different website and acquired taste.
