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.

From the creators of the brilliant Art of Rally comes another motorsport game, but this time it’s a management sim. It’s set in the “golden age” of motorsport, which was apparently more “unpredictable and intense” than current motorsport.That’s probably because it was a) easier to die and b) a time when the technology was developing at a blinding pace (though frankly, I don’t know: I’ve Googled this so-called golden age of racing and everyone seems to have a different opinion). Whatever the case, this being a management game there’s a lot to think about: developing cars, hiring racers, and dealing with the demands of nagging sponsors. Obviously, this is a tad less accessible compared to Art of Rally, but it’s clearly made with the same love for motorsports.

This looks to be yet another ultra-orthodox JRPG in the 16-bit mould, until you realise that instead of rote turn-based combat there’s Tetris. Basically, connecting blocks in specific formations will result in different styles of attack, whether combos or elemental powers. Clearing lines will do a regular ol' standard attack, but if you clear a bunch at once the attacks get stronger. I like this idea, but if you don’t there’s a “hold mode” which turns this whole process into something akin to standard turn-based combat. There’s also a light town-building element, and the pixel art is of that heart rending colourful variety that makes you long for days of yore.
