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:‌ September 20Developer:‌ Walaber Entertainment LLC

This racer looks like crap in the best way possible. It’s a precision-oriented affair set in repurposed parking garages, with a focus on mastery of tight circuits. While it’s retro-styled (the studio says it was going for a Sega Saturn look in particular) it is emphatically unchill like other contemporary retro racers like Hotshot Racing, Art of Rally, Horizon Chase Turbo etcetera. Sure, the controls aren’t realistic at all—the feel is definitely that of an arcade racer—but there are few relaxing high-speed straights or gentle curves in Parking Garage Rally Circuit. This is for people who like to get it right.

Steam‌ ‌page‌‌Release:‌ September 20Developers:‌ Kraken EmpireA really cool looking RTS where you spray paint your desired army formation onto the battlefield. Thanks to the bonkers, fully-simulated physics, watching your hapless minifigs stumble into nigh-impossible battles is probably just as satisfying as winning. Oh, and your minifigs are pretty varied: there are skeletons, samurai warriors, Roman legions—they’re “toys” after all. In addition to a handful of campaigns, there’s also a big sandbox mode, among others.

Steam‌ ‌page‌‌Release:‌ September 17Developer:‌ caiys

Caiys is a prolific indie dev with a very distinctive art style. The creator of Skelly Selest and Straimium Immortaly already released a Vampire Survivors-inspired autobattler last year, in the form ofBoneraiser Minions, but Voids Vigil takes another stab at the genre. There are a tonne of these games on Steam, but most of them look pretty shit: Caiys arcade credentials are well established at this point and as always, it looks gorgeous in action.
