What came out on Steam on October 26 – November 1, 2026: Phantom Blade Zero, SULFUR 1.0, Probably Stolen, The Wolf Among Us Remastered, REKA — scores, prices, Ukrainian support, DRM.
The headline release of the week is Phantom Blade Zero, a wuxia action game from S-GAME that critics scored at 88–91. Next to it came the full release of the shooter SULFUR, a cyberpunk shop sim that sold hundreds of thousands of copies on day one, a remaster of a Telltale detective story and a cosy game about a witch from Slavic folklore. Prices are from Steam for Ukraine as of November 2; Steam review figures are English-language reviews on that day and may still move.
Phantom Blade Zero
Steam lists October 28 as the release date, although most outlets reported the 29th. S-GAME, a Chinese studio, develops and publishes it. You play Soul, a warrior with 66 days left to live. The game runs on Unreal Engine 5, has more than 30 main weapons, and boss fights use a stagger meter.

The combat gets the most praise: fast, acrobatic and showy, along with the bosses and levels with some Metroidvania elements. Critics fault the muddled story, linear areas, repetitive regular enemies and drawn-out boss fights. There were complaints about frame rate drops, mostly on PS5 Pro; one reviewer described the PC version as fairly smooth.
Twenty to thirty hours of story is a realistic amount for a month's rental, even if you only play in the evenings. The game is already in our catalogue:

Probably Stolen: Cyberpunk Shopkeeper Sim

- Steam reviews: "Overwhelmingly Positive", about 97% of English reviews.
