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 2024 games that are launching this year.Homicipher

Here’s a horror point ‘n’ click adventure about translating the cryptic languages of strange monster men. The protagonist wakes in a dank, labyrinthine dungeon riddled with mysterious figures. These figures speak a bizarre language which you’ll need to decipher, and finding translations in the environment—usually via objects—is where the game’s point ‘n’ click rhythm emerges. The narrative branches according to decisions made and, most importantly, yes, there is a potential romantic element in your conversations with the monster men. That presumably accounts for the more than 700 “overwhelmingly positive” reviews.
