We always talk about new games and how hard it is to get them, even though we can get the games most of us don't want to buy a hard copy of because they are not cheap when they come out. Steam has tried to fix that problem over the years. You can access the games very easily through steam and install them right away and you also get discounts depending on the sale.
The good thing about Steam is that there are multiple sales going on at the same time - weekend deals and such. Today is Tuesday and I see a "weekend sale" going on that will last for 37 hours. Today I will mention a few newly released games that you can access through Steam. A lot of games released in recent weeks and not all of them are on Steam, but you can't even finish the list they have so let's dive straight into the giant pool of games.
#1 Risk of Rain 2
A lot of you were waiting for this game to come out, and if you don't know the franchise yet - I'm happy to serve.
Risk of Rain was a classic multiplayer and you can only imagine it getting better with a new dimension and new actions. The runs will always be different because of the enemy bosses and multiple other in-game factors.
You can play the game with your friends, you can party up with up to 3 friends in the seamless co-op or you can go Solo YOLO. Your goal stays the same either way. Fight your way through the monsters and find a way to escape the planet.
Collect loots and fight the enemy bosses. The classic survivors are back but there are a bunch of new survivors you can choose from this time. The game's scaling system allows you and your foes to get stronger as the game progresses, with enough skill you can win even against the longest odds.
#2 Outward
Am I biased towards Outward? I am biased towards any game that is worth being biased for and Outward is one of those games. Since the release, this game keeps coming back on my lists and it's for a reason. You need to play the game to understand.
Outward is an open-world RPG survival game where the cold or an infected wound can be as dangerous as the creatures of the night. This game takes you to fantasy land, a world that breathes life. This game is very immersive and the constant auto-save literally forces you to live with your decision. Each decision will make an impact in the game and you must deal with the consequences.
You're no god, you are a mortal human being who needs to save himself from the cold, the night, hazardous environment or deadly creature. Explore the world of Aurai, the beautiful yet deadly land of fantasy. Stay hydrated, don't starve, protect yourself from the weather and most importantly, don't die.
#3 Unheard
Unheard provides you the unique non-linear audio driven gameplay experience and is a project where storytelling met puzzle solving.
You play the game as an "acoustic detective" who is hired to go back to the past and solve cases. The new device lets you hear everything that happened in a crime scene. Your job is to track down each of the individuals and solve the cases with the audio provided to you.
The question is can you trust everything you hear? Is there anything that is connected to all of the cases? Find out yourself once you are inside the game. The game currently has 5 cases and a lot more mysteries to solve. Developers have promised to release a free DLC in the next 2 months.
The game literally says "don't expect to get fed a lot of clues". You have act like a fly, quietly sitting on the wall observing everything. Every conversation, every move, every motive will be there in the audios, your job is to listen to the audios as they take you back in the crime scene and figure out everything through that. Can you do it? Do you think you can be an "acoustic detective"? There's only one way to find out.
#4 Baba is You
Baba Is You is a unique puzzle game where you get to decide the rules. Normally puzzle games come with a set of rules. We follow the rules to solve the puzzle, but here you are the one who gets to decide or change the rules. Baba Is You allows you to make the puzzle either easy or more complicated for yourself.
The rules are presented in the game as blocks that you can move and change according to your play style and get surprised. You can turn yourself into a rock or turn grass into hot lava. You can even change the goal that you need to reach to win the level.
#5 Shadows Awakening
Shadows Awakening is set in a parallel universe where you can meet ghosts, demons and other creatures. The game is an isometric single-player RPG that takes you to another universe full of adventure.
The game is connected through a tight storyline and at the same time it provides you a lot of real-time strategy building battles and the result of the battles decides your fate.
There are a few unique things about the game, with one of them being demons with a multiple personality disorder. No joke, there are multiple characters inside one demon, and each of them has their own personality and dialogues. There is also rivalry and communication between the characters.
You can choose one of the 3 heroes to start the game, each of the heroes has their own storyline and quests. Combine the different skills of your different characters to make greater spells. The game has 20+ hours of play through but the replayability adds up to 60+ hours.
The game has crafting and looting system as well as puzzles that need to be solved. Jump in straight to the parallel universe of Shadows Awakening and become a God.
