You almost missed these new top games!

The summer heat and the European Football Championship may have distracted you, but the year 2024 is already half over. Before we complain about the time passing far too quickly, we would rather be happy about the positive side effect: This also means that another month full of new game releases is behind us!

In June 2024, really cool insider tips appeared on Steam and Epicthat you definitely shouldn't miss. These include, for example, cozy frog rescue, Anno with pirates, emotional deep-sea horror and card strategy. Have fun browsing!

Here is our quick overview:

Killer Klowns from Outer Space: The Game

Nope, nope, nope.

• Platforms: PC (Steam), PlayStation 5, Xbox X/S
• Steam Rating: 77 percent positive (2,669 user reviews)

What is that? Fans of trashy horror will find the title very familiar: The game is based on the 1988 film of the same name. You either play a killer clown or in a group of (still) survivors. While you, as a costumed monster, have supernatural abilities and are much stronger than the delicious little humans, they collect weapons and other useful items to defend themselves.

Murky Divers

Next time we prefer to vacation in the mountains, far away from the water.

• developer: Embers
• Release: June 19, 2024 (Early Access)
• Platforms: PC (Steam)
• Steam Rating: 86 percent (630 user reviews)
• GamePass: No

What is that? It's a shame when your employer messes up a nuclear experiment. Now you have to pay the price, dive into a spooky underwater laboratory and remove all traces. But of course there's a lot more danger waiting for you down there than you initially thought. The multiplayer horror game Murky Waters is definitely not for people who are afraid of murky water.

Chained Together

In the co-op game Chained Together, you and your friends are inseparable – and that's a problem

• developer: Anegar Games
• Release: 19 June 2024
• Platforms: PC (Steam)
• Steam Rating: 90 percent (6,083 user reviews)
• GamePass: No

What is that? You and your friends have ended up in hell, where you are supposed to spend eternity chained together. But of course you don't want to do that, so you try a massive co-op climbing game. Thanks to physical simulation, you can expect a lot of chaos, for example when someone gets caught on a chain and the whole group falls into the abyss. Perfect multiplayer game if you don't yet know what you want to play on Discord at the weekend.

Tavern Talk

1:17

Tavern Talk: The cozy fantasy simulator in the trailer

• developer: Gentle Troll Entertainment
• Release: 20 June 2024
• Platforms: PC (Steam), Nintendo Switch
• Steam Rating: 93 percent (442 user reviews)
• GamePass: No

What is that? A cozy role-playing game / visual novel with a colorful fantasy setting. If you know Coffee Talk, Tavern Talk will seem familiar to you, just with elves, orcs and beastmen. You run an inn, look after your guests, listen to their adventure stories and send them on quests yourself. Sometimes they give you gifts that you can use to decorate the tavern.

Dystopics

Beautiful, but also lifeless. You could call it capitalism core.

• developer: Vods Within
• Release: 21 June 2024
• Platforms: PC (Steam)
• Steam Rating: 98 percent (654 user reviews)
• GamePass: No

What is that? Build in an atmospheric cyberpunk setting with no restrictions. You can focus on building the most beautiful (or terrifying) neon city without worrying about supply chains or money flows. Dystopika comes from a solo developer who wants to marry the dreary hopelessness of cyberpunk with coziness.
