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 2025 games that are launching this year.Megabonk

Vampire Survivors is brilliant but I’m not super interested in any of its pretenders. Megabonk is a big exception, though, not only because it looks completely stupid (in a good way), but also because it borrows a lot from Risk of Rain 2. The general rhythm of the game is overly familiar by now: you commandeer a character through sprawling slaughter maps, circle strafing around the mobs and collecting XP, all the better to upgrade your abilities with every level increase. The longer you survive the better. What Megabonk brings to the formula is a slapstick approach to failure, and a PS1-influenced art style that really suits the addictive simplicity of its gameplay. Also, the skeleton can ride a skateboard.Deadeye Deepfake Simulacrum

This cyberpunk roguelike shooter is the real deal: not only does it have a gorgeous ASCII-inspired art style perfectly in step with its surreal sci-fi setting, but its ability to generate increasingly bizarre stories positions it close to something like Caves of Qud.
