Five newly released Steam games offer a varied weekend selection, spanning action adventures, tactical strategy, classic stealth games, arcade-style survival and citybuilding. The recommendations reflect an unusually strong week for PC releases ahead of the busy autumn games season.

– Resonance: A Plague Tale Legacy: a prequel that replaces much of the series’ stealth with action while retaining strong characters and detailed settings.
– Bit Reactor’s Star Wars tactics game: a squad-based strategy title praised for combining XCOM-style systems with a fresh Star Wars story.
– Metal Gear Solid Master Collection: Vol. 2: brings Metal Gear Solid 4, Peace Walker and Ghost Babel to PC, with Metal Gear Solid 4 highlighted despite dated gameplay.
– Blood Dungeon: a lo-fi 2D platforming take on Vampire Survivors, focused on high scores and fast, repeatable runs.
– Combolands: Roguelike Citybuilder: a minimalist strategy game built around town-building synergies, likened to Cities: Skylines mixed with Balatro.
