Dystopika
(Genre:Cozy building game – Steam-Release:June 21, 2024 – Price:7 Euro)
Construction games also work without tense neck muscles and gnashing of teeth, asmany a zen-like cozy gameproves. A new representative of the genre places its relaxed, pressure-free and goal-free gameplay in a gloomy, neon-colored cyberpunk metropolis of all places.
You build a city as you see fit, at your own pace, and doze off smiling peacefully. Perhaps just the thing after a working day full of Excel spreadsheets and coffee. So in the evening, when the coffee wears off and your neck and teeth finally come to rest

Ocean World: Eden Crafters Demo
(Genre:Co-op-Survival-Craft –Steam-Release:June 24, 2024 (Demo) – Price:Free to play)
Oceanworld:TheSubnautica light immediately flashes in your head. But it’s a lie, because Ocean World: Eden Crafters does indeed have a world covered by the sea, but it does very strange things. So if you find skyscraper-high waves strange
Or at least threatening, because they are! They might wash away the base you’ve just built or put a spanner in the works of your well-thought-out automation. And they may even wash you and your co-op friends into the afterlife in one go, unless you have cleverly prepared for such disasters. The gigantic wave is strongly reminiscent of a key scene from the film Interstellar with Matthew McConaughey.

The Powder Toy

In addition to powdery materials, The Powder Toy also offers solids such as metals, liquids and gases, as well as a number of devices, sensors and environmental components. We even found the fictional material Vibranium from the MCU and triggered a violent reaction with it. You can switch Newtonian gravity on and off as required, generate radiation … and, and, and. Definitely a highly exciting tinker box for nerds and those who want to become one. It’s also available as a mobile app forAndroidandiOS

Oh Deer
(Genre:Hunting and Hiding Game –Steam-Release:June 27, 2024-Price:10 Euro)
According to Steam fans, those who like multiplayer will get their money’s worth in Oh Deer.One group grabs lightning bows, the other lives a cozy life as deer. The forest is green and it’s hunting season. Bad times for game, good times for hunters.
The trick is that the forest is teeming with AI deer. Players in the hunter skin keep a wary eye on which deer are behaving too humanely. The group of deer, on the other hand, hides, searches for food to stave off hunger and hopes to remain undetected until nightfall.
