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.
Don't stop, Girlypop!
Don't stop, Girlypop! is a breakneck, movement-focused arena shooter, but instead of the usual horror/sci-fi/fantasy setting, it reveals its love of vibrant Y2K pop culture. But the visual design is not the main gimmick, since the authors also thought about the mechanics. For example, the faster a player moves, the more damage they deal (and the more health they heal).

A new project in the portfolio of eccentric developer Strange Scaffold is dedicated to trading stocks “based on the lives of simulated children”. Players will bet on procedurally generated alien children from seven different worlds, then track their lives to track the optimal time to invest.

Bogos bound?
Bogos with ribbons? – a party game where four players can take on the roles of bizarre aliens and battle in a simple card game. That's right, it's simple exactly until the moment the special cards appear… Not to mention the fact that you can simply blow your opponent's head off if you're unlucky with those cards.

Millennium dream
An engaging walking simulator dedicated to exploring environments in the spirit of “Chinese Dreamcore” – an aesthetic that looks like a combination of vaporwave and liminal space. According to the authors, Millenium Dream will give players “silence, nostalgia and subtle anxiety” while passing through quiet locations and taking photos.

Valkyrie Saga
Valkyrie Saga is a PlayStation 1-era platformer that never existed in reality. That is, the game is stylized as something from the early days of 3D graphics, but given the ambition and scale of the world, that would have been impossible at the time. The main character can jump and fly, traveling through abandoned lands in search of salvation for his home island that is about to collapse from the sky to the ground.
