Blood West: There are too few shooters in the Wild West? There you go, this game is for you
The dark western Blood West is not that easy to describe. You are traveling as a single player in a mysterious desert area, have to uncover a mysterious story through exploration and encounter eerie horror creatures that you have to get rid of by sneaking or shooting. Sneaking is often a good option because ammunition is limited.
Graphically, the game has a retro look, three different scenarios and constant progress through learnable advantages. The game is receiving praise from the community and the press alike.

Shortly before the end of the year there’s another real tactical hit – test video for Last Train Home
You control a squad through Russia after a devastating war and try to reach home and survive. This sums up Last Train Home. The unusual game combines survival and real-time strategy elements. The train serves as a rolling, rumbling base and needs to be kept moving and firing.

sanabi
Genre: Jump&Run | Steam-Release: 9. November 2023 | Preis: 12,49 Euro

In the Steam favorite Sanabi you hunt through a cyberpunk city
Sanabi bleeds pixelated cyberpunk charm. In the action-heavy platformer, you swing over high-rise roofs, nimbly dodge traps and shots, and wreak havoc on no-gooders. The whole thing isn’t completely pointless, but rather wrapped up in a story.
Absolute Steam favorite: Sanabi achieves 97 percent approval, making it one of the best-rated games in this week’s list.
We have collected more such fan favorites on Steam for you in another list.
Like a Dragon Gaiden
Genre: Melee action | Steam-Release: 8. November 2023 | Preis: 49,99 Euro
2:03
Like a Dragon Gaiden: New action game for Yakuza fans released
We hope you’ll forgive us for not using the full game name Like a Dragon Gaiden: The Man Who Erased His Name in the title. Luckily, the protagonist doesn’t spend long with words anyway and prefers to get things done.
In the game from the traditional Japanese studio Ryu Ga Gotoku (Yakuza series), you take on the role of mafia members and fight your way through a crazy story campaign with tons of opponents.
If you like the theme but have more turn-based tastes, Yakuza: Like a Dragon might be your pair of patent leather shoes.
In Stars and Time
Genre: Story Adventure | Steam-Release: 20. November 2023 | Preis: 19,50 Euro
1:21
In Stars and Time you are stuck in an eternal time loop
Cute but profound: In Stars and Time dares to do this balancing act. You are trapped in a time loop where death lurks around every corner, but at the same time it is part of progress. The longer you play, the more you’ll discover about the world and learn how to help your friends and yourself have a brighter future.
Small but powerful: In Stars and Time only has almost 400 Steam reviews, but 99 percent of them are positive. A real insider tip. By the way, there’s also a Steam demo you can try out for free.
So, did we score a hit on you this week? Which game are you excited about and why? Feel free to write it in the comments!
