28 Hidden Gems Launching on Steam This Week (23rd–29th of June)

Every week, there are hundreds of games launching on Steam, and with some of the heavy hitters taking all of the credit, it's easy for a lot of titles to go unnoticed. With 263 titles launching this week alone, it's hard to keep up with anything that might be going under the radar.

To remedy this, as an indie-friendly outlet, we do our best to check out all of the titles coming out and highlight some of the ones we think are underrated. For the sake of clarity, our criterion for anything going "under the radar" is below 1,000 followers — anything above goes into our weekly titles launching series.

We checked all of the launched and picked 28 that we thought you should see and deserve a few more eyes.
