Top 5 Steam Games to Play this Rainy Season
With the resumption of school just right around the corner, what better way to spend your last few days of freedom than by playing video games to the sound of heavy rain pouring in the background? If you’re having trouble deciding what to play, our list should come in handy.
Disco Elysium – PHP 829.95
Step into the shoes of a detective with no recollection of who he is and crack a murder case to become a hero, or take bribes to serve your own self-interest.
Disco Elysium is a critically-acclaimed, open-world role-playing game that features riveting storytelling, incredible world-building, and intricate character customizability that allows you to approach the game however you see fit.
Necrobarista – PHP 449.95
If Disco Elysium’s somber tone isn’t your thing, perhaps serving drinks to wandering souls might catch your fancy. Necrobarista is a cinematic visual novel set in a Melbourne cafe that caters to the dead who have a day left in the mortal realm.
The game brings a unique twist to the visual novel genre with cinematic panning shots in every conversational exchange as opposed to the genre’s regular text-on-the-screen format.
Cloudpunk – PHP 449.95
If you’re looking for a quick fix to your cyberpunk craving, Cloudpunk checks all the boxes. Take to the skies in your banged-up hovercar and deliver packages across the teeming dystopian skylines of Navalus.
Your job in the game is pretty simple: pick up packages and deliver them, no questions asked. It may sound straightforward enough but count on Navalus’ sprawling metropolis to have some secrets here and there.
Fall Guys: Ultimate Knockout – PHP 449.95
Sometimes all we need is some good old competitive action to brighten up gloomy days and playing an hour or two of Fall Guys could just do the trick. Fall Guys absolutely nails the gameshow aesthetic and its colorful game design makes it appealing to gamers of all ages.

The battle royale will have you join 59 other players in an obstacle course that features dozens of different events you can play in each round. You won’t have to worry about long queue times either since the game is so popular that even its servers have had trouble keeping up to the demand.
Stardew Valley – PHP 419.95
Nothing speaks zen more than living out a peaceful life as a farmer in a small, close-knit town. Stardew Valley, however, isn’t a farming simulator alone. You can do fishing, foraging, mining, and even some mystery-solving.
Pelican Town hosts a flurry of interesting characters you can get to know and foster relationships with. If your friends also have the game, you can hop into one world and explore everything Pelican Town has to offer together. One wouldn’t normally expect a game like Stardew Valley to have any sense of replayability, but interestingly enough, your first hour playing is just as magical as your hundredth.
