Any games with less than 1000 total Steam reviews you’ve enjoyed and thought more people ought to know about? Not a hard limit, just a guideline for what could be classified as “undiscovered” on Steam, assuming it wasn’t released yesterday.

I would recommend:

  • Full Bore, a cute block-based puzzle platformer. Solid mechanics, level designs and even a somewhat engaging story. Unfortunately hasn’t been on a sale since 2021 according to steampricehistory.com, while it was frequently reduced to €2-3 before that. Not sure I’d recommend it to everybody at full price, but IMO it’s one of the best indie platformers I’ve played. edit: Did someone email the creator of Full Bore or something? It’s suddenly on sale again, for the first time in ages :) Go buy it!

    Turbo Golf Racing

    It’s pretty much “Rocket League meets golf”, with two different types of modes:

    • Racing: Everyone has a ball that they’re pushing in real time as quickly as they can to the goal
    • Golf: Everyone has a ball that they’re trying to get into the goal with as few turns (its a turn based mode) as they can

    Doesn’t have any microtransactions in it (aside from a couple of supporter packs that grant you a few cosmetic items), has an in-game “store” but they’re cosmetics that you unlock with currency that you get from playing and doing challenges (they can’t be purchased with “real” money).

    I enjoy the fact that I can pick it up, play a few matches, and then put it down, which is one of the reasons I like to play Rocket League every now and then.

    Do note that for the most part the game is multiplayer-only, like Rocket League. It has a time trial mode that can be played offline, but that’s about as far as it goes for offline/singleplayer content.

    Runs fantastic on the Steam Deck (it is Deck verified) and I can easily reach 90FPS on my OLED Deck. It also of course runs perfectly on desktop as well via Proton.
