What are the Kickstarter games that are released?
http://www.rpgwatch.com/forums/showthread.php?t=20742
Thanks. I registered and posted a few more to be added to the list.
Right up the top of that list - FTL. Not a Kickstarter game. It wasn't funded by Kickstarter at all. They'd already nearly completed it and saw Kickstarter as a good way of getting some extra publicity in the wake of Double Fine's (then) success. I'm not knocking what they did as it was all very upfront. But there's no point in calling it a Kickstarter game.

Also the Defence grid expansion... that was very dodgy.

Cognition. It was funded in 2011. 3 out of 4 episodes are released; it has received positive reviews.

No, read again on the FTL kickstarter page, under the section "Why kickstarter".
Don't forget Giana Sisters Twisted Dreams that we got here on GoG (http://www.gog.com/game/giana_sisters_twisted_dreams).
Aw poor Legend of Dawn, it looked cool, it reminded me of Dragon Age: Origins.

Wake me when Wasteland is released on GOG, or failing that when Wasteland 2 comes out. So, far it looks like a bunch of kickstarters were released too early or shouldn't have gotten made.

I backed Legend of Dawn and this is the first of the Kickstarter games that was finished (well sorta). Hoping the next ones will be better these include Wasteland and the new version of Elite (loved that on my spectrum) so hopefully Legends is my only problem one.

Giana Sisters too was pretty much complete. The question is at what point do you consider a game which appeared on Kickstarter "a Kickstarter game". Many indies need to show a very advanced state for people to back their games.

Even a pre-alpha build can give the right impression of what the final game will look like. Take Satellite Reign as an example. In reality they've barely started. But the footage they've shown has the pretence of a finished looking product even if it's all scripted and totally lacking the kinds of AI behaviours and even basic gameplay mechanics they will be including in the finished product.

Is it actually that bad? I remember being interested in it at one stage.

Mostly I heard that the game is buggy as hell, I have not seen the full details yet, right now I am watching this to see why:

It's playable now. (Ver 1.7)

The released version was worse than an Alpha version. I think the game was stable with 1.3 and with 1.7 now all the stuttering is gone. I have no idea about any quest being bugged however because I only have a few hours into the game and most of that is because of restarts.

Since it is an idie it has no where near the polish of DAO, but they have a lot of interesting ideas in the game.
