This holiday season, I received the most precious gift of all: a bit of free time. I ended up using it mostly to play an ungodly amount of Fallout 4 (it’s alright), but also to check out a handful of Steam games from last year that I never quite got around to.
While I haven’t played any of them enough to do a full review-type post, I feel pretty safe in recommending them. So, without further ado, here’s a (largely visual) primer as to why you should check out these semi-obscure Steam games. Jotun Because it’s an action game that’s incredible at making

Underrail Because it’s basically a new old-school Fallout, hyper-complicated stat-based character creation and all. As someone who’s been kinda disappointed by Fallout 4, it’s pushing a lot of the
