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.

Launched from Early Access into 1.0 last week, Withering Rooms is a sidescrolling, procedurally generated take on Resident Evil, with RPG progression and scrappy combat. Set in a creepy Victorian mansion (is there a Victorian mansion that isn’t creepy?), the objective seems to be to escape, but good luck: there’s a lot of baddies and not very many goodies, and even the goodies are a bit suss. It’s a gorgeous looking game, with a lot more variety than the Victorian mansion setting would suggest.

Steam‌ ‌page‌‌Release:‌ April 3Developers:‌ Youcan Co., LtdQuit Today is a roguelite beat ‘em up about going out with a bang. Forced to resign from a meaningless corporate job due to being branded a traitor, the newly liberated / unemployed protagonist must escape unscathed from the premises. That means, of course, beating the crap out of former colleagues with a briefcase! The office building is scattered with various buffs and upgrades to make that process a little easier and more enjoyable, and there are a handful of companions you can call upon for help. Looks like some cathartic fun for the terminally deskbound.
