With dozens of games released on Steam every day, it's nearly impossible to keep track of all the releases to find hidden gems. PC Gamer Portal make up A collection of five worthwhile games you might have missed.
Lost children
RPG from the creators of Moon: Remix RPG Adventure – a cult game for PS1, partly inspired by Undertale. Onion Games has released several projects since then, but Stray Children is the developer's first RPG in decades. In the story, the main character lives in a world where adults suddenly treat children very badly, so he enters a video game where the world operates according to completely opposite rules. The combat system is turn-based and at first glance seems a bit more traditional than in Moon. And pixel art perfectly recreates the appeal of 1990s graphics, when developers honed it to the limit using technologies designed for 3D games.

Evil eggs
A free-to-play twin-stick shooter can either transport players to another dimension or cause a migraine – one of two things. Evil Egg was billed as a lost game from the arcade era, and although it never actually existed, solo developer Ivy Sly cleverly combined old arcade influences with horror elements and an electronic soundtrack. Evil Egg also offers countless levels and leaderboards.

ScootX
ScootX has been released from Steam Early Access: a scooter video game in the spirit of Skate and Tony Hawk's Pro Skater series. The game places special emphasis on physics simulation and we are not only talking about the scooter but also about the player's virtual body: according to the developers, each trick gives the same reactions as in reality. ScootX allows you to ride both in parks and on the streets, and supports custom mods.

Mittelland AD
A turn-based trading simulation game originally released in 1996 under the title Die Fugger 2. In Mittelland AD, players must strike it rich in 17th-century Germany, and not necessarily in a virtuous way: the game also allows you to rob and desert your competitors. Mittelland AD offers the opportunity to compete with five other traders in hot seat mode, text and voiceover available in German and English.
