There was a rumor a while back that the Danganronpa series, among others such as Final Fantasy X & X-2, would be making their way to Steam but no actual confirmation was ever given. However, since now three of the games mentioned in the leak are confirmed as Steam releases I think its safe to assume that the rumor is quite true.
In today's case its the Playstation exclusive Danganronpa: Trigger Happy Havoc that is confirmed as a Steam release for February, with the sequels most likely following suit afterwards. Here's the announcement trailer:

[Update]: After years in development, Door Kickers 2 has now entered Steam Early Access.
Door Kickers 1 is a real time strategy game where you take control of a SWAT team during a raid against overwhelming numbers of armed and entrenched opponents. The success of your operation depends entirely on your planning, timing and most importantly, kicking down doors. In short, its a damn good game.
Which is why I am happy to tell you that Door Kickers 2 - Task Force North has been officially announced and will bring with it the same sort of gameplay that made Door Kickers 1 good but this time around in a more military environment. Here's a quick overview of what to expect:

Despite some previous gameplay presentations and announcements centering around events in Brooklyn and other nearby areas Ubisoft has recently announced that The Division will only contain the Midtown Manhattan borough on launch.
Don't take that as a negative however because according to an interview the Examiner did with The Division's creative director Magnus Jensen it will be a 1:1 recreation of Midtown Manhattan which is still a rather large area. Here's the full quote:

Subterrain is a top down open-world shooter with randomized levels and big focus on survival which includes things such as eating, sleeping and even attempting to find a place where you can safely take a dump without getting your face chomped off. You can also craft a lightsaber, yep.
After a rather successful Early Access campaign and a lot of very positive reviews Subterrain will be fully released on Steam this January 21st. Here's the release trailer:

I never was much of a fan of the murder mystery/investigation genre, mostly due to being born past its prime but after playing and enjoying Aviary Attorney I might be turning around on it. And what better game would there be to start my journey than one starring the famously mustached detective Poirot.
Agatha Christie: The ABC Murders is coming to Steam (PC & Mac) on February 4th and from everything I can see so far its very true to its origins. Here's the trailer so you can take a look for yourself:

I first heard about Consortium today and while it is a bit of an obscure game the more I read about it the more interesting it became. In short Consortium is a first person adventure-RPG filled to the brim with lore and with a heavy focus on character interaction as well as player choices and consequences of every action you take.
Its completely free on Steam if you add it to your library during this week and I'd suggest you do so because Consortium seems to be one of the most ambitious RPG projects I've seen in a very long time. Here's the trailer, perhaps you will then understand what I mean:

Ever since I started doing this whole gig about two months ago I must have cowered about a dozen Rocket League patches and updates by now. Its fascinating how much the folks behind Psyonix are willing to support a game that even without patches would still be pretty damn great.
The upcoming February patch, among currently unannounced features, is bringing in a bunch of new loot with which you can pimp out your ride as well as the rewards for the first season of competitive Rocket league. Here's a brief rundown of what to expect:

In memoriam to the late David Bowie's legacy Square Enix is giving away free copies of a game he composed called Omikron: The Nomad Soul.
Omikron was made by Quantic Dream whom you might know from their work on Indigo Prophecy, Heavy Rain as well as Beyond: Two Souls but don't expect it to be on that sort of a level as the reviews for Omikron are fairly mixed.

If you thought your wallet was safe after the terribly cruel reign of the Steam Winter Sale ended I'm afraid I might be the bearer of bad news, or amazing news depending on your viewpoint and account balance.
The Humble Winter Sale launched recently and brought with it a ton of discounts on everything from AAA games to the smallest of indies. There are plenty of bargains to be had so I'd suggest you give it a look.

It has been over two decades since John Romero last fiddled with Doom and crafted levels for it. That sentence would be completely true if he didn't decide to release today a brand new Doom level of his own design.
I haven't played it myself but from the comments on the Facebook post it seems to be a dastardly difficult one. I wouldn't have expected anything else from a level that has been brewing inside Romero's head for who knows how many years.
