The game also delivered a convincing narrative with an excellent visual representation. Which will make the audience stick to their chair until they finish the story.

So if being a Wizard/Witch is still a dream, then look no further as Hogwarts Legacy is currently on sale in the Steam Summer Sale.

6. It Takes Two

It Takes Two is a co-op action-adventure game by Hazelight Studios, and just like the studio's debut title, A Way Out, this one is also limited to co-op only.

3. Schedule 1

Schedule 1 is the wild card entry for the gaming industry. They came out of nowhere with such a unique game and have managed to hit the top charts of Steam, firmly establishing themself as one of the best of 2025.

Schedule 1 is a drug simulator game where the player, either solo or with 3 other friends, creates their criminal world from nothing. It's a journey to the big leagues of the criminal empire. Although it's a video game the players still need to maintain a low profile from the law enforcement while building their drug empire, especially when they are doing their discreet deliveries.
