New Free Steam Game Has a 95/100 Rating

by

A brand new game on Steam is getting rave reviews, with users giving it a 95/100 score! Best of all, it’s completely free to play – no hidden costs or tricks. While it’s a smaller, indie title, the high approval rating suggests it’s a surprisingly well-made experience. Steam Deck users might encounter some compatibility issues, as Valve hasn’t yet confirmed whether it runs well on the handheld. However, since the game is free, Steam Deck owners can easily try it out and see for themselves.

This week, Out of Seats Studio and ISART Digital released a free game called Candellum exclusively on Steam. It’s a top-down action game where you play as a candle warrior slowly melting away inside an abandoned wax factory. Your goal is to battle through the factory and discover the secrets hidden within.

“High-Quality” Free PC Game

Candellum is very well-received on Steam, boasting a 95% approval rating. Players consistently praise its unique concept, smooth gameplay, and appealing graphics. Many feel it offers a high-quality experience comparable to a paid game, and would happily pay between $10 and $20 for it, with its only real drawback being its relatively short length.

I’ve been checking out this game, and honestly, people are really impressed with how well-made it is, especially since it’s free! One review said it’s a ‘neat little free game’ and super polished, which is awesome. I also saw someone else say it’s a ‘great quick game’ and they really dig the idea behind it and how you actually play. It sounds perfect for a little fun when I have a few minutes!

One player praised the game’s smooth performance, beautiful graphics, and overall high quality, saying it was a genuinely enjoyable experience.

People who’ve played the free PC game say it takes around an hour to finish. Players have noted a significant jump in difficulty at one point, which can be frustrating. However, while the game is challenging overall, it’s not as brutally difficult as some other recent action games with a top-down perspective.

So, I stumbled across this new PC game on Steam, and it’s listed as “free-to-play,” which totally threw me off. It’s not one of those games trying to nickel and dime you with in-app purchases or anything – it’s a completely free and full game! Honestly, it’s kinda weird that Valve still groups these genuinely free games in with the free-to-play titles, because they’re really two different beasts. It’s misleading, you know?
