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 2026 games that are launching this year.Water Womb WorldSteam ‌page‌ ‌Release:‌ February 25Developer:‌ YamesThis short, reflective and overwhelmingly strange adventure has been available on itch.io since 2020, but now it’s hit Steam. In a murky subaquatic world you’re tasked with catching fish and seeking out objects, which can then be studied in a lab, all in aid of discovering the womb of God. It’s a deliberately cryptic affair with a potent cosmic aura about it, and to be honest, boiling it down to what you do with your hands is kinda underselling its unheimlich energies. If you’ve got half-an-hour or so, just play it: it’s free. And then play Yames’ other weirdo artefacts.
