The Dark Urge, from Baldur’s Gate 3, looks towards his accursed claws with self-disdain.

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.

Liminal Void

Steam ‌page‌‌Release:‌ August 23Developer:‌ Jeistar

If theye oldeShin Megami Tensei first-person dungeon crawlers weren’t weird enough for you, Liminal Void might pass the test. Set in the Liminal Layer—in other words, a “bridge between reality and the Void”—you’ll need to keep climbing (or descending) layers of the liminal dungeon until you can face off against the Void Gods. A lot of preparation is needed to full that feat off: each layer is scattered with sigils which you’ll definitely need to go out of your way to collect, lest you want to survive the many and varied liminal entities waiting to kill you. It’s a roguelike with a bizarre art style, four playable characters, and 16 different endings.

Steam‌ ‌page‌‌Release:‌ August 21Developers:‌ Chibig, NukefistMika and the Witch’s Mountain adds broom-top flying to the 3D platformer template. Taking inspiration from Kiki’s Delivery Service, protagonist Mika needs to deliver packages to the inhabitants of her idyllic island home, but that’s not always easy thanks to the very many illogical obstacles strewn all over the place, not to mention the sheer drops into crystalline blue water. This may offer simple pleasures—it’s very much of the “cozy” persuasion—but the flying feels great, and more content will be added during the game’s Early Access period.

Here’s a gorgeous pixel art survival horror game with 1-bit graphics that somehow puts me in mind of those utterlyindecipherable metal logos. Keeping to the grim theme, Never Forgotten is set in “an abandoned world enveloped in flesh”, and while you’re encouraged to flee from the disturbing creatures who inhabit this hellscape, occasionally you’ll need to fight them in battles that kinda take the form of time-based mini-games. If nothing else, Never Forgotten has a lot of creepy flair.

Steam‌ ‌page‌‌Release:‌ August 24Developer:‌ Cody Tierson (Trash Eyes)

This is a horror visual novel that feels like something you might find in a box of mysterious Commodore 64 floppy disks buried at the back of a charity store. Protagonist Roger arrives home to find that someone has started living in his house. Do you resort to violence straight off the bat, or try to negotiate? Will either extreme make a difference? I’m not sure myself, but there are ten unique endings, so your choices will definitely have consequences.
