Eight Hidden Gems Launching on Steam This Week (29th of September–5th of October)

There are hundreds of games launching on Steam every week, and it's hard for some companies to compete in the saturated market. Game launches and announcements have gone through the roof, and these aren't only focused during major events like Summer Game Fest or gamescom.

To give a better chance to the titles that deserve some love, we started our weekly Hidden Gems series, where you'll find all sorts of games that are going under the radar and deserve more love. Our criterion is simple: anything with under 1,000 Followers that we think is worthy of your time and attention.
