Alright, so on an average day, around a dozen new games are popping up on Steam. And let’s be real, it can be pretty tough to keep track of all of them. I mean, who has the time to sift through every single game that drops on Steam, right? But fear not, because I’ve done the dirty work for you. If you’re not feeling any of the new releases this week, don’t sweat it. I’ve rounded up some of the best PC games that you can dive into right now, along with a list of the 2025 games that are set to launch this year.
Two Strikes: Out Now!
Picture this: Two Strikes is a 2D fighter that takes you back to 16th century Japan, or more accurately, the afterlife of 16th century Japan. You’ll step into the shoes of one of eight fighters, engaging in intense sword fights to determine who gets a shot at returning to Earth to face the legendary Oda Nobunaga. It’s all about precision and blade skills in this game, with stunning illustrations that rival big-name titles like Guilty Gear. Don’t just take my word for it, check out the screenshots – they don’t do it justice. Plus, you can enjoy a single-player campaign or duke it out in online and local PvP matches and cross-platform multiplayer.
Among The Whispers – Provocation: Available Now
Alright, so if you’re into horror games, Among The Whispers – Provocation might be right up your alley. Created by the mastermind behind Conrad Stevenson’s Paranormal P.I., this first-person paranormal investigation game brings a different twist to the horror genre. Say goodbye to jump scares and gruesome scenes, and hello to a more technical approach. You’ll be getting hands-on with machines used in real-life paranormal investigations (who knows how they work, right?). It’s more of a puzzle-adventure game than a survival horror experience, but trust me, it’s still spooky as heck. Set in a classic haunted mansion, get ready to unravel the mysteries within.
Snacko: Official Gameplay Trailer
Now, here’s a game that caught my eye – Snacko, a chill life sim and town builder where you get to play as a cat. If you’re a fan of games like Animal Crossing and Stardew Valley, this one’s for you. You’ll meet and befriend a variety of animals, design your town to your heart’s content, gather resources from mines and the environment, and keep things cute and pastel along the way. Reviews are glowing for this one, and I can’t get enough of its art style that blends 2D sprites with charming 3D environments.
Tinkerlands: Gameplay Trailer
Tinkerlands is all about gathering resources, building, surviving, and battling it out with friends. Whether you’re flying solo or teaming up with up to four pals, you’ll explore islands in search of materials to beef up your settlement. Of course, you’ll need to fend off hostile creatures while you’re at it. Crafting, farming, fishing – you name it, Tinkerlands has got it all. Keep in mind, this game is in early access, so expect big expansions and more content leading up to its full release.
Kathy Rain 2: Soothsayer: Launch Trailer
Brace yourself for Kathy Rain 2: Soothsayer, the sequel to the original 2016 hit. Follow private eye Kathy Rain as she dives into a chilling serial killer case that will take her across a gritty 1990s American city. With stunning pixel art reminiscent of classic LucasArts games, this point ‘n’ click adventure is sure to keep you on your toes. If you’re a fan of old-school point ‘n’ click games with a modern twist, this one’s definitely worth checking out.
In conclusion, with so many new games hitting Steam daily, it can be overwhelming to keep up. But fear not, I’ve got your back with a selection of top PC games to keep you entertained. Dive into these titles and let the gaming adventures begin!
