New on Steam this week, November 2–8, 2026: Godzilla Melee Remastered, Underkeep, Escape Academy 2

There were no big AAA releases on Steam this week: Phantom Blade Zero and Call of Duty came out earlier, and Football Manager 27 is scheduled for November 10. Instead, several good mid-sized and small games arrived: a remaster of the Godzilla kaiju brawler, an old-school dungeon crawler, a sequel to the co-op escape-room puzzler and a restored 2001 Dungeons & Dragons RPG. Prices are from Steam for Ukraine as of November 9. Steam review figures are English-language reviews on that day; sample sizes are still small, so the percentages may move.

Godzilla: Destroy All Monsters Melee Remastered

Released November 3. Developer Pipeworks Studios, publisher Atari. It is a remaster of the 2002 arena fighter: pick a monster and wreck cities together with your opponent. There is local split-screen play and new online play.

Critics praise how faithful and nostalgic it is, and that it is a fun party game with friends. The downsides: there is almost no new content (no new monsters were added), and playing solo gets old fast. We found no complaints about PC performance.

Underkeep

Released November 5. Developed and published by the Czech studio Rake in Grass. It is a first-person, grid-based dungeon crawler with turn-based party combat, in the spirit of 90s RPGs. In the headline of its review, PC Gamer called it the outlet's favourite old-school crawler since Legend of Grimrock.

• Steam price — 413 ₴ with a 15% launch discount.
• Steam reviews — "Very Positive", about 91%.
• ProGameGuides — 4/5.
• Single-player only. No Ukrainian.

Escape Academy 2: Back 2 School

Released November 5 on PC and consoles. Developer Coin Crew Games, publisher iam8bit Presents. It is the sequel to the escape-room puzzle game, now with an open campus and a conspiracy plot. You can play solo or in co-op, online or on one screen.

• Steam price — 399 ₴ with a 15% discount.
• Steam reviews — "Very Positive", about 97% (fewer than a hundred reviews so far).
• Insider Gaming — 6/10. Reviewers praise the clever puzzles and the co-op. They criticise the open world (no map and clumsy fast travel) and puzzle fatigue; Altchar reported frame-rate drops on PC.
• No Ukrainian.

Pool of Radiance: Ruins of Myth Drannor

Released November 6 on Steam and GOG. It is a restored version of Stormfront Studios' 2001 turn-based RPG set in the Forgotten Realms; publisher SNEG. It adds widescreen resolutions up to 4K, a reworked camera, controller support and an optional "Legacy Mode".

• Steam price — 404 ₴ with a 10% discount.
• Steam reviews — "Mostly Positive", about 76% (only a few dozen reviews).
• We found no reviews of the new version.
• Single-player only. No Ukrainian.

What else came out

• Airframe Ultra (November 5) — online combat racing with a PS1-style look from Videocult (the makers of Rain World) and Akupara Games. 221 ₴ with a 25% discount, "Mixed" reviews (about 64%). No Ukrainian.
• PAYDAY: Aces High (November 5) — co-op heists for VR only from Fast Travel Games. 429 ₴, "Mixed" reviews (about 64%). No Ukrainian.

None of these games are in our catalogue.
