Sorting through every new game on Steam so you don’t have to.
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 the best PC games you can play right now and a running list of the 2023 games that are launching this year. Sludge Life 2

Chris enjoyed the first Sludge Life, and how couldn’t you? It was a photography and vandalism sim set on a shitty little island surrounded by sludge. This sequel follows the same format, with surrealistic first-person exploration and lots of bizarre interactions with listless NPCs. In Sludge Life 2 you’re tasked with looking for Big Mud—a rapping frog—in the “sprawling” Ciggy City Suites, so sprawling that it even has its own beach (Ciggy Beach!). If Sludge Life 2 is for you, you’re almost certainly sold already, but to make matters better this instalment has double jump and a Portable Launcher, all the better to hurl yourself through the majestic Ciggy Suites with ease. A weird game. Kinda like if Hubert Selby Jr and Todd Solondz collaborated on an Adult Swim cartoon.Pekoe
