Five Steam deep cuts from last week, including Chinese horror and eldritch solitaire.
When you buy through links on our articles, Future and its syndication partners may earn a commission. Best of the best 2025 games: Upcoming releasesBest PC games: All-time favoritesFree PC games: Freebie festBest FPS games: Finest gunplayBest MMOs: Massive worldsBest RPGs: Grand adventures 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. Everdeep Aurora Steam page Release: July 10Developer: Nautilus Games People keep comparing this gorgeous platformer to games from the Game Boy Advance era, which isn't wrong, but it feels closer to something you might have found on an Amstrad Action cover mount back in the '80s, albeit with a higher pixel count. Set underground in the aftermath of an apocalypse, you play as Shell, who is—and this is important—a cat. Shell's mother is missing, so she needs to dig deeper and deeper into the unknown to find her. Naturally, things get more bizarre and dangerous the further she gets. This is ostensibly a platformer, though it has a lot of mining, making Steamworld Dig an obvious reference point. Dread Flats Steam pageRelease: July 11Developer: Ghostcase Everdeep Aurora may be cute, but the rest of this week's column is consistently morbid. Dread Flats is probably the worst offender: it's a first-person horror about exploring a "murder building". Set in 1990s China, it's definitely exploration-forward: you'll spend the majority of the game poking around in a big residential tower block that has seen better days (to be extremely euphemistic about it). The residents we meet are pretty effed up, as the trailer makes abundantly clear, so expect a lot of panicked running or, if you're smart, a fair bit of stealth. Last Report Steam page Release: July 12Developers: Moonpixel GamesAnother horror game, this time in the form of a point 'n' click adventure. You play as a night shift park ranger who notices some pretty unsettling stuff on the CCTV. Via exploration, conversations with fellow park rangers (all of whom are a bit suss themselves), and the monitoring of camera footage, the disturbing history of the park unfolds. It looks like a mix of Five Nights at Freddy's and Firewatch. Occlude Steam pageRelease: July 11Developer: Tributary Games It's an occult card game, basically, but with a "reality-bending" narrative and a cryptic, challenge-based approach to familiar rules. Judging by the Steam description, I think the less you know about Occlude the better, but it heavily emphasises secrets and mysteries. If Balatro is hauntological poker, I guess this is eldritch solitaire? I don't really play card games, but if you do, this seems like it's trying something new. Azrael's Tear Steam page Release: July 12Developer: Intelligent Games Ltd., Ken Haywood There are few things that excite me more than forgotten, vaguely cursed-looking '90s PC games, and Azrael's Tear is a perfect example. Originally released on CD-ROM in 1996, it's set in the distant future of 2012, and follows the protagonist's search for the Holy Grail in a mysterious underground sanctum that seems far more technologically advanced that it should be. I've never played this, but it has an approach to first-person exploration that feels akin to something like Ultima Underworld or System Shock, but with a heavier emphasis on puzzles and problem-solving.

You Don't Need to Drop $80 on a New Game. Here Are the Best Games for $50 or Less Right Now
There's been a lot of talk about how much the cost of games could increase in 2026. It's already been confirmed that some AAA games, like The Outer Worlds 2, will be priced at $80 when they come out. It's ironic that a game that satirizes corporate greed will be carrying a higher price like that, but here we are. However, another trend has quietly emerged over the past few months as well: Many great AA games are being released for $50 or less. A lot of these titles are currently on sale, too, so you can pick them up even cheaper right now. As an avid gamer, I've found a lot of more affordable titles that are well worth your consideration. One is even the top contender for Game of the Year. And who knows, maybe one of them will end up being your new favorite game. The best games for $50 or less right now Claire Obscur: Expedition 33 The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered Tainted Grail: The Fall of Avalon FBC Firebreak Elden Ring Nightreign Helldivers 2 Alan Wake II The best games for $50 or less Questline Tainted Grail: The Fall of Avalon $45 at PlayStation $45 at Steam $45 at Xbox A newcomer to "scrolls-like" games, Tainted Grail has all the right ingredients. It takes place in Arthurian legend. The fabled King Arthur has already died, long ago, but not before he established a new capital for humankind on the island of Avalon. However, a Wyrdness has since settled on the island, and it's your job to sort it out, with some unexpected help. Though it's a little rough around the edges -- my time with the game has included a number of bugs and crashes -- it has really solid bones, and the team behind it is actively working on patching things. The magic system, itemization and world building are all good. You can really tell Questline has a love for games like Oblivion. I happily paid the $45 to support the studio, and I'm excited to see how it continues to iterate and improve on the game as development continues. Genre: RPG, first- or third-person Number of players: Single player Platform: PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, PC $45 at PlayStation $45 at Steam $45 at Xbox Hangar 13 Mafia: The Old Country $50 at Target The next instalment in Hangar 13's Mafia series isn't out yet, but it's looking promising. This time, Hangar 13 is turning back the clock to 1900s Sicily, where you'll be put in the shoes of Enzo Favara as he rises through the ranks of the Torrisi crime family. I've played all the other Mafia games, and whereas Mafia 3 stumbled with its open-world format, Mafia: The Old Country brings the series back to its more linear, story-driven roots. Pick this one up when it hits stores on Aug. 8, 2025, for $50. Genre: Third-person action Number of players: Single player Platform: PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, PC $50 at Target Arrowhead Game Studios Helldivers 2 $32 at PlayStation $40 at Steam I can't write a list of great inexpensive games without including Helldivers 2. It's one of my favorites, especially to play with friends. When you're seconds away from extracting off an alien planet, surrounded on all sides by thousands of bugs, with fire, lasers and missiles raining from the sky and your friends in your ear cheering you on or yelling at you for inadvertently blowing them to bits, it's a rush, to say the least. As a Helldiver, it's your job to spread "managed democracy" across the universe, ending the threat posed by giant bugs, the voteless zombie Illuminate, and cold, terminator-like robots. You're just fodder in Super Earth's endless wars, but until your inevitable demise, you'll have all its weaponry -- including massive, orbital lasers; automated turrets; and destructive napalm strikes -- at your disposal to obliterate its enemies. Genre: Third-person shooter Number of players: 1-4 players Platform: PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S (starting 8/26/25), PC $32 at PlayStation $40 at Steam
