Steam High Five: March 29, 2019 Edition

The “Next Big Thing” is not always for everyone, nor should it be. Sometimes it’s the less obvious things you encounter as you progress through whatever journeys life takes you on. Sometimes it’s good to stop and notice the less obvious. You might just find the next big thing for you. This week’s selections take to an open-galaxy adventure or allows you to construct and play your own minigolf course, pits you against creatures of the night and worse or leaves you stranded, alone, and hunted, and even takes you to yet another iteration of space where you can shoot your way through philosophical intrigue. If VR is more to your liking, revisit and influence historical wars, become a robotic construct fighting other constructs, or ride a magical death rollercoaster.
