Steam Greenlight Approves 50 New Games
Steam Grennlight is expanding, with the latest batch of approved titles reaching 50 games.
You can see the full list of games, along with descriptions, screenshots, etc., by heading here. There are brand new as well as familiar and Kickstarted games on the list like Bullet Bros, Crying is not Enough, Depressions Quest, Interplanetary, Lambda Wars, Lili, The 7th Guest 3: The Collector, Manos: The Hands of Fate, and many more.
Lili comes from developer BitMonster, which is made of former Gears of War folks. Manos: The Hands of Fate is a NES-style 8-bit platformer based on the terrible film of the same name made popular by its appearance on Mystery Science Theater 3000.

Our Take
The Greenlight program seems to be working pretty well. The first few batches of approved games barely reached 10 games, and now the latest is a list 50 titles long. I also like seeing games like more art-focused, experimental games like Depression Quest making the list. You can actually play the game for free (or pay what you want) right now, but showing up on Steam will help it reach a wider audience.
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
