The highlights of the week on Steam
Atomic Heart
25:07
Atomic Heart – Played conclusion after 4 hours of gameplay
Atomic Heart awakens many memories of the Bioshock series: not only do you get a shooter with role-playing elements, but also an alternative reality.
As a KGB officer in the Soviet Union in the 1950s, you end up in a world where an experiment goes wrong and bizarre robots are up to mischief – you have to find out what exactly happens to you as the story progresses.
The title will not only appear on Steam, but also directly in the game pass for the release. You can find more information about the exciting shooter here:

Company of Heroes 3 – How good will the biggest part of the strategy series so far be?
Company of Heroes goes with that third part to the next round: As in its predecessors, real-time strategy in World War II awaits you here with two campaigns based on historical events.
In the Allied Campaign, you launch the invasion of Italy while playing the role of the Axis powers, maneuvering the Europe Africa Corps through North Africa.

Sons of the Forest
3:02
What is Sons of the Forest about?
The current most wanted game on Steam is Sons of the Forest: In the survival game you end up in a secluded forest again and have to fight for survival because cannibals and mysterious monsters want to get at you.
Survival-typically, crafting, resource gathering and base building play a major role, but just like its predecessor, Sons of the Forest wants to tell a spooky story again.
Shortly before the release, the developers decided to release it in Early Access – exactly the right decision for Alex:
Sons of the Forest
Early Access is the right decision!
Kerbal Space Program 2

The space simulator is also entering the next round with Kerbal Space Program 2 – and it will be much more complex than in the first part. In the sequel, you not only build your own rockets and explore the solar system, you can even colonize entire planets.
It should also be possible to travel to other solar systems by building huge ships with futuristic drives on space docks. It is questionable whether the feature is already available for the Early Access release.
