News Editor Edwin has taken a break from his hectic news schedule to recommend some hidden gems in his Steam selection box. Instead of featuring games he’s completed, he’s chosen titles that have barely been touched but still received positive reviews.
One such game is Withering Rooms, a 2.5D corridor crawler set in a procedurally generated Victorian mansion. The game’s unique atmosphere and inventive enemy design make it a standout title, with writing and ambiance reminiscent of classic survival horror games. Edwin urges readers to give the game a try and shares his thoughts on its similarities to Rule of Rose.
Another game is To The Stars, a quickfire strategy game where players must draw starlanes between planets to attack each other while managing resources. The game’s distinctive presentation and music make it an enjoyable coffee break diversion, with certain commentators likening it to Galcon but with a more stylish aesthetic.
Edwin also recommends Isles Of Sea And Sky, a soothing puzzle game that lets players explore a block-pushing world of conundrums in the style of classic sokoban games. With its relaxing visuals and intricate puzzles, Edwin believes this title is a clear contender for Bestest Best if not done justice to.
