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.

Steam‌ ‌page‌‌Release:‌ October 25Developers:‌ Baba Yaga GamesHere’s a gorgeously styled sidescrolling adventure based on Vasilisa the Beautiful, an old Russian folktale perhaps best known among non-Slavs for the character Baba Yaga, who is usually depicted as a terrifying, malevolent old woman (you may recognise her fromReka). The adventure follows Vasilisa as she journeys to “the land of the dead” to appeal to Baba Yaga, and along the way she’ll cope with a range of tasks including washing dishes and laundry, through to fightingevilspirits. I love the look of this game, but most of all I love the music in the above trailer.

If you thought Psychopomp GOLD was as weird as things could possibly get in this week’s column, think again. Disillusion ST looks like a forgotten ’90s CD-ROM showcase goneverybad, or a creepypasta take on3D Maze. It’s a dungeon crawler with some point and click adventure trappings and even a CCG (thankfully, for this CCG disliker, you don’t have to engage with it). It seems to be a sequel or expansion to a 2021 game calledDisillusion, wherein “a mysterious muse calls upon you to investigate a Large tower in an oneiric land”. Watching the trailer has me feeling like I’m trapped on an island in the tributary connecting the dark web with /r/Vaporwave.
