Upcoming Steam Games
Furthermore, not all games to be released are on the list here. Alternatively, you will see games that the other gaming sites don’t mention. We are taking notice of these games, and you can expect reviews for many of them if given half a chance! It should be noted that unless we have some personal experience with the game, there’s a link to the descriptions on the Steam website.

Mina reviewed While Waiting and said this in her conclusion:
While Waiting was fun, it was weird, it was unique, and it was a lot of time waiting around for things to happen. Overall, this strange little game is exactly what it claims to be in the Steam description. I had a lot of fun with my time in the game, and I hope to be able to finish it soon (I’m nearly done). I very rarely go back to a game after I have finished reviewing it, even if I liked it a lot unless there was something really special about it.
I think this might be one of the games I make a little time to finish up in the very near future.

James reviewed the game and gave it an I Like it a Lot, saying:
Big Helmet Heroes is a joy from start to finish. Whether you’re playing alone or with a friend in co-op, there’s plenty of fun to be had without the game ever feeling overly complicated. It’s the perfect pick for a game night, especially if you’re in the mood for something lighthearted and silly.

James played the demo of Astral Throne and had this to say about it.
Astral Throne delivers a promising blend of roguelike mechanics and grid-based combat. Its challenging gameplay, strategic depth, and engaging storytelling make it a standout experience for fans of tactical RPGs. The demo offers a glimpse into a game that rewards careful planning and punishes reckless decisions, creating a satisfying loop of risk and reward.
If you’re a fan of Fire Emblem or roguelikes, this game is a perfect match. It captures the careful planning and high stakes you’d expect from the genre while offering enough innovation to stand out on its own.

SHUJINKO – February 13th
Aiming to appeal to both speakers and non-speakers of Japanese, play as Shu, Jin, and Kou as you try to save the world from the Akuma in this single-player JRPG!
A retired samurai (主) is entrusted with saving his home from intelligent, language-devouring “Akuma” alongside an eccentric fox (人) freed from a cursed abode and an astute princess (公) with her own ambitions.
Margaret played SHUJINKO for an early access impressions article and said this:
Shujinkou is an ambitious attempt to tackle what many games have tried to accomplish. It’s taking the Japanese language and making it something you enjoy learning in easy pieces and paced, apparently, along with the first three grades (5, 4, and 3, ascending upwards) of the JLPT, or the Japanese Language Proficiency Test, which non-native speakers are encouraged to excel at if they would like to be considered for work in Japan or immigrate.
That’s all pretty nuts and bolts to bear in mind, so for our purposes, know that it’s a game that is taking its attempt to teach you the language seriously without making life boring or slow for you. And it’s working, especially for JRPG fans who want to relax and maybe (even accidentally) learn a little along the way. It’s a game that’s never pushy or preachy about its goal, instead focused on basically telling you an intricate story while working flash cards quietly into its environments.
The passion of the team and the delight they feel working on this comes through. I was especially charmed by its opening memorial to their family. They’ve earned the right to feel proud about this, and it’s really shaped up to be quite a game. Whether you want to learn something or just want a soothing dungeon crawler, Shujinkou is one of this year’s first surprising achievements. Well done, team!
