The 2026 Latin American Games Showcase featured games from all over Central and South America, showing off some of the best talent the region has to offer. From time-hopping action to tiny farming, DIY artwork to dessert cafe sims, there was so much to see and love. My Steam wishlist is chockful!
Here are five of the games that caught my eye during the showcase.
Tempus Vitae
A first-person shooter Metroidvania, with time manipulation!? HELL. YES. In Tempus Vitae, you’re hunting for your lost brother, time-hopping across the span of two centuries to do so. But messing with time has its consequences, with your present actions affecting the future.
You have a host of weapons and temporal abilities that let you kick ass along the way. Flank enemies by time-hopping in and out, freeze time and bullets mid-air, or shoot your own and watch them fire out all at once when the flow of time is restored!
Tempus Vitae is set to release next year for PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S.
Fourleaf Fields
We aren’t exactly lacking new farming-sim games in the last few years… But in THIS one you’re tiny! In Fourleaf Fields you’re so small that bugs are the size of farm animals, and the crops you grow are colossal in size!
Befriend the locals to get all the gossip, upgrade the town, and unlock new shops. There’s even dating-sim elements if that’s your sort of thing. This cute and casual farming RPG can be played solo, or online with friends
Fourleaf Fields is being developed for PC, but doesn’t have a release date just yet.
Charming Hill
There’s something uniquely relaxing about decorating games, choosing where to place furniture in a bedroom or keepsakes in a display cabinet… It’s just cosy. Charming Hill brings an artful twist to the genre, where you’re instead assembling a breathtaking painting.
You begin with a setting, such as a snowy mountain or quiet countryside, then decorate the canvas with buildings, items, flora and fauna that are unique to that setting. You’re free to let your creativity flow and paint place things wherever you want.
It’s gorgeous, soothing, and completely devoid of AI; every element has been crafted by human hands. At a time where soulless “art” is being spewed out online at the click of a button, it’s wonderfully refreshing to see a game execute that same idea — but so much better — with emotion and creativity.
Charming Hill is one I’ll be keen to relax with when it releases on PC in the future.
GHOSTLESS
In a post-apocalyptic world where deadly machines have all but wiped humans out, it’s up to you to raise a last resistance; but when the enemy can pass as human, trust is a rare commodity. Action-adventure GHOSTLESS gives off so many Terminator vibes, you’ll be reading the dialogue in an Austrian accent!
Resist your robot-overlords, scavenge resources, and grow your base of operations into a guerrilla resistance with a fighting chance. As you recruit more survivors to your cause, new gear and weapons can be developed… Just be careful of newcomers, they could be a clanker saboteur in disguise!
GHOSTLESS doesn’t have a release date, but it is in development for PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S.
Dungeons & Desserts
In Dungeons & Desserts you explore dessert themed environments, gather delicious ingredients, then bake tasty treats to sell in your bakery. The shop-sim dungeon-crawler is like Moonlighter meets Willy Wonka!
Not only are the dungeons sweet themed, but the monsters too! With your jelly snake whip in hand, you’ll battle mad marshmallows, spiteful smores, and more. As your bakery makes money, you’ll be able to purchase upgrades and new equipment to generate more revenue… But you’ll also have a greedy landlord to deal with!
Dungeons & Desserts is set to come to PC later this year.
