Game news Steam games of 2023 you can’t miss

Starfield

Naturally, Starfield is one of the biggest expectations of 2023. It’s the next big video game from Bethesda, which should do more than all its predecessors: evidenced by the 250,000 lines of written dialogue and its system of persuasion, a map eight times greater than that of Skyrim, its 1,000 explorable planets or even the largest base city ever created by Bethesda. The game takes us to a futuristic universe, especially in the most remote confines of space, far from our dear blue planet.

Each character will have its own specificities which will be used in the environments: Luffy will be able to extend to reach places unreachable for the others, Zoro will be able to cut through obstacles, Chopper slip into narrow passages and Francky, he will build bridges altogether.

dead space

The new Dead Space (2023) is an update to the license that made its debut in October 2008. We recall that this is a survival-horror in which Isaac Clarke, an engineer , is trapped with other of his colleagues in a drifting spacecraft, the USG Ishimura. This surface breaker vessel is a sordid place infested with infernal creatures. The small squad that Isaac is part of will have to find a way to escape this hell populated by protean monsters called “necromorphs”.

Hogwarts Legacy: Hogwarts Legacy

In the long-awaited Hogwarts Legacy: Hogwarts Legacy, you play as a student at the end of the 19th century. The player will have the luxury of choosing his house thanks to the Sorting Hat, among which Gryffindor, Slytherin, Ravenclaw or Hufflepuff. A direction that will determine part of the adventure since depending on this membership, the room that will serve as the main base for the hero or heroine will differ. The goal of our little lucky guy will therefore be to follow the traditional courses of Hogwarts, to progress as a wizard but also and above all to fight against the rebellion of the goblins.

Like a Dragon: Ishin!

Like a Dragon: Ishin! it’s a hyper-paced action title whose first video on PS5 showed up at State of Play. It is actually a remake of Ryu ga Gotoku Ishin!, a game released in Japan on February 22, 2014 on PlayStation 3 and PlayStation 4.

Atomic Heart

Atomic Heart, it’s a shooter game with the first Russian inspiration, very inspired by several video game tenors that we’ve been hearing about since 2018 already. The game has been in development for many years, we even learned recently that the screenwriter had been working on the script for about seven years. Mundfish, a Russian studio is at the origin of this project which is still quite expected. We follow the story of a KGB agent sent to investigate a mysterious factory in the heart of the Soviet Union between the 1930s and 1960s; the subtlety is that it is an alternative world where technology is particularly advanced, robots and supernatural powers in support.

Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty

Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty this is the next game developed by the Team Ninja teams, a studio that you know of course for being already at the origin of the Nioh. Naturally, the game quickly presents itself as a Souls-like game. Some players were already able to get their hands on a demo of the game at the end of September. It was therefore an opportunity to discover the beginnings of a game with demanding gameplay and a progression similar to that of Nioh. The title will take us to the heart of feudal China, in the shoes of an unnamed warrior.

SEASON: A letter to the future

Already seen several times, Season: A letter to the future is the next game from the creators of Darwin Project. You will take part in a bicycle trip to photograph the last moments of cultures doomed to disappear. This promises a peaceful and poetic experience.

The Last Case of Benedict Fox

Little revelation of the summer, The Last Case of Benedict Fox is a metroidvania that plants its setting in a visibly haunted mansion. Benedict, a “self-proclaimed” detective and bonded to a demonic companion, slashes a whole bunch of creatures in side-scrolling settings. Behind The Last Case of Benedict Fox, we find Plot Twist, a young Polish studio that claims to be experienced in the field of independent video games.

Planet of Lana

In the poetic world of Planet of Lana, it will generally be a question of solving puzzles – difficult ones say – and of using our reflexes to survive in the face of dangerous situations according to the different landscapes. We compare it to a Limbo or an Inside with a hint of Ori. The player embodies Lana, a young girl, traveling an alien planet in search of her sister. This one is accompanied by Mui, a kind of cat.

Replaced

Developed by Sad Cat Studios and Coat Sink, REPLACED is a retro-futuristic 2.5D sci-fi action-platformer that caught the eye last summer. You play as REACH – an artificial intelligence trapped in a human body against its own will. More precisely, it is a cinematic platformer, with very neat pixel-art, with stunning light and movement effects. It offers a deep and engaging dystopian story set in the 80s, in an alternate dimension.

Lies Of P

Lies of P is a Souls-like action game that will immerse you in a dark universe inspired by the tale of Pinocchio. The title caused a sensation at the last gamescom. You play as a mechanical doll evolving in the morbid and inhuman city of Krat, who will have to lie to become a little boy. Your choices and your lies will influence your story and the end of the game. Developed by Round8 Studio, the game borrows from Bloodborne and Bioshock to create a game close to From Software’s productions.
