We’ve combed Steam for unknown new games that fans are excited about.

Against the Storm: Early Access hit celebrates final release date and Game Pass inclusion
We could hardly keep our hands off Against the Storm in Early Access. The mix of structure, management and optimization also impresses a whopping 95 percent of the 16,000 players on Steam who give a rating.
In Against the Storm you have to rebuild civilization after the end of the world. The style is strongly reminiscent of one of the best strategy games of all time: Warcraft 3. At the same time, elements of Anno are also incorporated when you have to balance the needs of humans, beavers, lizards and harpies.

The Exit 8 is one of the strangest games of this winter
Things get really weird in The Exit 8: You walk through a Japanese subway tunnel, which quickly turns out to be an anomaly. Instead of going to the exit promised on signs, you always come out at the same point. Now you have to pay close attention to your surroundings in order to save and give your name Exit 8
to reach.
The Exit 8 is a surreal short trip that should last around 15 to 60 minutes. For fans of the Threshold space theme If you’re short on time, probably worth a look. After all, 94 percent of around 2,500 reviewers on Steam are convinced.
Sledders
Genre: Snowmobile Sports | Steam-Release: 5. Dezember 2023 (Early Access) | Preis: 24,99 Euro
1:20
Sledders is dedicated to a little-noticed winter sport
Snowy landscapes as far as the eye can see: Snowboard and ski games have been around for ages and are not exactly rare, but far fewer developers have been able to warm up to fans of snowmobile sports. If you would like to ride through the white expanses on a motorized sleigh, Sledders should satisfy your needs.
The game is still running in Early Access on Steam, but is already being very well received by early players. 96 percent of over 300 reviewers rate Sledders positively. You can find more beautiful snow worlds in games here:
A Date with Death
Genre: Dating-Sim | Steam-Release: December 7, 2023 | Preis: For free
0:29
In A Date with Death you seduce death itself
Love is all you need: What the Beatles already knew is expressed in dating simulations on Steam. Our editor Mary likes many games in this genre and dispels the prejudice that dating sims always have to be about sex.
In A Date with Death you meet in chat rooms with the Grim Reaper himself. Your self-created character will find it quite cute, but there’s a little more on the agenda for the date than just plain romance: namely your soul. Almost like in a real relationship. And like real love, the game is free.
So, was there a new game for you this week? If so, which game will you take a closer look at? Feel free to write it in the comments!
