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.

Mullet Madjack

Steam‌ ‌page‌‌Release:‌ May 16Developer:‌ Hammer95

Mullet Madjack is a roguelite first-person shooter with a dazzling ’90s anime art style. Imagine this: You have ten seconds of life remaining, but your ten seconds is replenished every time you down an enemy. This is because future-man has merged with the internet, and needs dopamine to survive. I can think of better ways to get a dopamine hit every ten seconds, but I’m not the developer of a ’90s anime inspired videogame! Superhot and Hotline Miami are neat comparisons: all demand precision and smart improvisation, playing out like ultraviolent puzzles, but Mullet Madjack isn’t something that can be “learned” like those games thanks to randomly-generated levels. It’s a gorgeous game in motion, and it’s riddled with fully animated cutscenes. If you don’t like the idea of the ten second pressure, there’s also a classic mode that does away with it.

Released into Early Access last week, Seablip is an open world pirate RPG, but Skull & Bones it ain’t: it looks more like Terraria or Stardew Valley. There are some similarities though, with ship crafting being a big concern, though Seablip arguably has more customization thanks to a cast of unique sailors who can each be levelled up and specialized individually. Seablip will stay in Early Access until next year, during which time a lot of new content will be added, including the finale for the main story, which isn’t in this early build.
