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.

Kill It With Fire 2

IfCrypt of the Necrodancer’s genius combination of pixel art, rhythm game and roguelite pleased you, then 共鸣 ReMix will probably rock your socks. It’s kinda a bullet hell dungeon crawler, except the different classes are musicians specializing in different genres, meaning you’ll have to adjust to the sonic qualities of say, funk, if you want to roll out with that character.Someone in the Steam reviewsdescribed it as “Rhythm Vampire Survivor” and, well, that’s me sold.

The Mildew Children

Steam‌ ‌page‌‌Release:‌ April 18Developers:‌ The Growing StonesThe Mildew Children brings point ‘n’ click adventure and visual novel elements to a story about scary children. Sure, most children are scary, but the ones in The Mildew Children follow “savage pagan traditions”—and presumably not in pursuit of Robux. You can chat to some of these children, which will lead to some pretty heated conversations, I’m sure, since the protagonist is a witch sent to presumably liberate the village from these diminutive miscreants. The art style is painterly and slightly eerie, and your decisions, in case it wasn’t obvious, will matter.

That’s the beauty of PC gaming in the 21st century: this game about two giraffes tied together and forced to complete a terrifying obstacle course in a world of hyper-exaggerated ragdoll physics can release to almost no fanfare, because people are just so used to how many great games there are! This is free and looks really stupidly fun, in the same way QWOP, or Getting Over It, or Jump King, orlast week’s The Game of Sisyphusare “fun”. It’s also free, so no excuses.
