Rocket League Starbase ARC

The holiday season is creeping closer and while you’re saving up for the next big Steam sale, your library might become a bit stagnant.

However, there are still a few hidden gems you can play if you’re looking for a new game to add to your collection this weekend.

If you’re looking for something new to try out this weekend, take a look at these five games:


Rocket League – R131

Rocket League has just received a major update, adding a host of new features such as new cars and arenas.

Also, the game is discounted by 40% until 12 December, so if you were thinking about getting Rocket League, now could be the best time.


Maize – R197

Maize describes itself as “a first-person adventure game about what happens when two scientists misinterpret a memo from the U.S. Government and create sentient corn”.

The game has a great sense of humour and an engaging story, although it is relatively short.


Steep – R799

Ubisoft’s Steep released to a relatively good reception, with critics praising its freedom and varied gameplay.

If you’re a fan of skiing, gliding, or snowboarding, Steep could be one of your new favourite games this year.


Fracture the Flag – R55

Fracture the Flag is a unique PvP real-time strategy game which has just left Early Access.

The game features unique siege mechanics and a change of pace from convential RTS game design.


Lara Croft GO – R87

While it is a port of a popular mobile title, Lara Croft GO has retained its following on Windows.

The game’s simplistic graphics and engaging turn-based puzzle gameplay have won the hearts of casual PC gaming fans.
