On an average day about a dozen new games are released on Steam. And while we think that’s a good thing, it can be understandably hard to keep up with. Potentially exciting gems are sure to be lost in the deluge of new things to play unless you sort through every single game that is released on Steam. So that’s exactly what we’ve done. If nothing catches your fancy this week, we’ve gathered thebest PC gamesyou can play right now and a running list of the2024 gamesthat are launching this year.

This week’s most promising looking visual novel is set in an office where the protagonist has to listen to a bunch of bizarre monologues and make some tough decisions in return. I have a feeling there’s more to Outside the Door than the Steam description lets on: the trailer is quietly eerie, and the art style has a painterly quality that reminds me a bit ofye oldePC-98 visual novels. A nice 1-2 hour slab of surrealist bureaucratic noir is exactly what you need sometimes.

I’m pretty fed up with ’80s retro-fetishism but I can make an exception for Turbo Kid, which wraps gory straight-to-VHS vibes around a Metroidvania with one neat idea up its sleeve. That idea: in addition to exploring on foot, you also have a BMX. What results is a platformer with some neat movement variety, mixing the running and gunning of Contra, the close quarters slashing of Dead Cells, and the fast-paced wheel trickery of OlliOlli or Trials. Makes me wish I had a Steam Deck.
