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.

Retale | Official Trailer - YouTube

Steam‌ ‌page‌‌Release:‌ July 4Developers:‌ Grocery GuysRetale follows the travails of a retail worker in a big, fluoro-lit, boomer-abundant department store. Played from a top-down perspective, it mirrors the frantic pace of Overcooked!, though Retale is single-player only and a lot more caustic. For instance, keeping customers happy via careful, receptive listening to complaints is definitely one way to go about your job, but throwing a box at them is another (more enjoyable) way. Success can come in many and varied forms! For the most part you’ll be doing what you’re employed to do: stacking shelves, but you’ll need to hone your build if you want to get Employee of the Month.

SpaceCraft Brawl

Steam‌ ‌page‌‌Release:‌ July 1Developer:‌ ruploz

The biggest gaming news, reviews and hardware deals

Launched into Early Access last week, SpaceCraft Brawl is a game about creating your own spaceships and then pitting them against other player’s creations. The grid-based creation workshop allows for endless tinkering with form factor, weaponry, shields and movement, but there’s a bunch of pre-existing designs if you’re not into building. Which, to be honest, would seem to be missing the point, because SpaceCraft Brawl is all about the fun of seeing if your meticulously constructed (or flat out bizarre) creations can stand a chance in battle. There are a bunch of different weapons and abilities (with more to come down the line) and a map editor too. The Early Access period doesn’t have a specified time frame, but there seems to be plenty to sink your teeth into already.

Steam‌ ‌page‌‌Release:‌ July 6Developer:‌ Feral Paw

Angelstruck is a slick, bullet hell schmup roguelite in a dark fantasy skin. The much put-upon protagonist moves left and right as waves of flying enemies descent upon them, with respite from the relentless pace coming in the form of random power-ups. These boons can—in the spirit of the genre—dramatically change the trajectory of a run, and synergizing abilities can lead to utterly broken runs. Definitely good Steam Deck fodder.
