5 Steam games I want to check out

By Joseph Maffettone 3/10/23

This article will contain games that can be found on the Steam store and are part of the interest of the article writer.

So lately, I haven't opened Steam in a long while. It is not that I don't find anything on Steam bad or good. It is more that I don't have the right technology to play most of these games since most of my work is done on a laptop, and lately, I have been more interested in console gaming over PC gaming. Plus, as of late, I see bigger triple-A games to play on consoles instead and more indie games or obscure titles on Steam. So I decided to look through the Steam store to find games I would be interested in playing once I finally go back to playing PC games. Now some of these games are odd titles that some have never heard of before or smaller titles with some attention that has a fanbase trying to bring in more people to buy and play these games. I found 5 games that I would like to check out in the future based on the images and gameplay I saw through the Steam Store Pages or gameplay videos and reviews on YouTube. So I decided to make a list of them along with the prices of those games to see if whoever reads this article would possibly find an interest in checking them out. Anyway, let's take a look at what I found.

1. THE HEILWALD LOOPHOLE

Price: $9.99

The Heilwald Loophole is a PS1-style horror steam game that came out on February 4th, 2022. The German medical faculty known as Heilwald was known as one of the best places in Germany, that is until a loophole appeared in the faculty. Thanks to this loophole, the place became insane, leading many doctors and patients to insanity since they no longer can die. Your silent and unknown main character must find a way to break the loophole by finding unique ways of processing the game, such as getting caught in different ways or finding ways to take out each staff member of each part of the now grim, confusing, and twisted hospital. Can you find out how to break the loop and learn the mystery of the chief doctor, Joseph Randolph?

2. DAVE THE DIVER

Price: $19.99

DAVE THE DIVER is a casual, single-player adventure RPG featuring deep-sea exploration and fishing during the day and sushi restaurant management at night. Join Dave and his quirky friends as they seek to uncover the secrets of the mysterious Blue Hole. The game is currently still in early access; however, there are still many people checking this game out. This game is interesting because one part of the game is exploring the underwater colony of the Blue Hole, collecting fish and treasure, and the other half is a restaurant sim where you bring sushi and serve beer and tea to the customers. The game also has a wacky story involving the unknown beings in the Blue Hole and the crazy and different characters you meet as you progress through the game. There is a lot you can do in this game, and once it leaves early access, there will possibly be more to check out in the future.

3. Hylics

Price: $2.99

Hylics is a role-playing video game developed and published by Mason Lindroth. It was released for Windows on October 2, 2015, on Steam and Itch.io. The game uses Claymation graphics to depict a surreal world. The game's art style is exciting, but the world, characters, and gameplay bring the game more to life. The character act or talk oddly, and the gameplay is animated through Claymation. The game has a sequel, and from reviews, it improves the original even better and fixes the original's flaws or increases the scale of animation that the first game didn't have. Either way, it is a game I definitely want to check out in the future and spend a lot of time with.

4. NOT FOR BROADCAST

Price: $24.99

Not For Broadcast is a full motion propaganda simulator developed by British video game studio NotGames and published by tinyBuild. The game released with its first episode in early access on 30 January 2020. The full game, including the third and final episode, was released worldwide on 25 January 2022. The game also has two DLCs, one being Halloween-related and the other in a dream sequence around the Covid Pandemic. The main goal of the game is to monitor a news broadcast by putting in commercials, censoring foul language, changing cameras in order to keep ratings high and get a better payout. However, things get worse outside of the game as some technical issues, weather problems, and live incidents can get in the way of having a successful broadcast. This dark comedy received nominations and awards for its clever gameplay and hilarious moments. There is DLC available to play, so if you want an odd game with some crazy or out-of-nowhere moments with some dark comedy, this is the game to go.

5. LIL GATOR GAME

Price: $19.99

Embark on an adorable adventure, discover new friends and uncover everything the island has to offer. Climb, Swim, Glide and slide your way into the hearts of the many different characters you meet on your travels! In this game, you play as a small gator who just wants to play. This game has gameplay that would look similar to Legend of Zelda's Breath of the Wild but the game contains a cute charm. The game have you completing quests and collecting scrapes to make items and costumes, obtaining new items to progress to newer areas, and building a massive fortress for you and the rest of the kids around the forest area.

If you are a fan of Zelda games and want a relaxing experience with a cute and charming style along with a not too-hard of a game, Lil Gator Game would be an excellent recommendation to players who are looking for a game like this.

And that was the list; there are games I think I would enjoy. I hope sometime soon, I will be able to check out these games in the future. But I also made this list to showcase some of these games for the viewers just in case they want to check out them. They aren't too expensive and can be bought immediately or once they go on sale. Anyway I hope this small list was worth while and for the future, there will be bigger lists than this that will focus on other stuff besides this. Anyway, thank you for your time and I hope you do check out these games like I will in the future.
