TL;DR: I rounded up 10 standout Steam hits shipped in Unity, from Risk of Rain 2 and Rust to Raft and Tabletop Simulator (already on Unity 6). If you are grinding Unity tutorials or stuck on a project, seeing what Hopoo, Facepunch, Redbeet, and Berserk Games actually shipped on this engine is the motivation kick you need.

10 Awesome Steam Games Built With the Unity Game Engine

If you're learning Unity or just curious what the engine can do, one of the best ways to get inspired is to look at what's already out there. Tons of hit games on Steam run on Unity, from massive survival sandboxes to tiny indie gems. Here are 10 standout titles you can play right now, all made with the Unity game engine, plus why it matters if you're building your own stuff.

Why care that they're made in Unity?

Unity powers a huge chunk of the indie and mid-size games you see on Steam. When you play these, you're literally seeing what's possible with the same tools you use (or could use). That can be super motivating when you're grinding through tutorials or hitting a wall on your own project. Plus, if you ever want to go deeper than just playing, you can dig into how they did it and level up your own Unity game development skills with focused practice or mentorship.

1. Risk of Rain 2

Risk of Rain 2 turned the original 2D roguelike into a 3D third-person shooter and it absolutely slaps. Run, shoot, stack items, die, repeat. It's made by Hopoo Games in Unity and shows how far you can take procedural runs and co-op chaos on the engine. If you're into roguelikes or action games, this one's a must-play.

2. Raft

Raft is the cozy survival game where you start on a tiny plank in the ocean and end up building a floating fortress. Redbeet Interactive built it in Unity, and it's a great example of relaxed survival, crafting, and exploration that still runs smooth and looks clean. Perfect for "one more board" syndrome.

3. Rust

Rust by Facepunch is the big, mean survival game everyone loves to hate (and hate to love). It's been on Unity for years and has grown into a massive open world with base building, PvP, and a famously ruthless community. If you want to see Unity handling huge maps, lots of players, and long-term live ops, Rust is the poster child.

4. Tabletop Simulator

Tabletop Simulator lets you play pretty much any board game in a physics sandbox with friends online. Berserk Games built it in Unity, and they've even upgraded to Unity 6. It's proof that Unity isn't just for shooters and platformers: physics, modding, and cross-platform multiplayer all live here.

5. Superliminal

Superliminal is a puzzle game where perspective is everything. Things change size based on how you look at them, and the whole thing feels like a mind-bend in a white museum. Pillow Castle made it in Unity, and it's a neat example of how the engine can sell a single, weird idea really well.

6. Signalis

Signalis is a survival horror throwback with a sci-fi twist. Top-down, tense, and dripping with atmosphere. rose-engine made it in Unity, and it goes to show you can nail that classic horror feel without needing a custom engine.

7. Stick Fight: The Game

Stick Fight: The Game is pure couch (or online) chaos. Stick figures, random weapons, and levels that try to kill you. Landfall made it in Unity, and it's a perfect example of how a simple concept plus good feel and a bit of jank can become a party hit.

8. Rounds

Rounds is a 1v1 shooter where every round the loser gets a new power-up. Short rounds, big swings, and a lot of "one more game." Made by Landfall (same crew as Stick Fight) in Unity. If you like tight, competitive indie games, this one's a blast.

9. Ravenfield

Ravenfield is a single-player battlefield-style shooter with a low-poly look and a ton of mods. SteelRaven7 built it in Unity, and it's a great example of a one-person project that grew into a full game with a dedicated community. Perfect if you're into FPS and want to see what solo dev can do on Unity.

10. SpiderHeck

SpiderHeck is spiders with lightsabers. Yes, really. TinyBuild and Neverjam put this together in Unity, and it's a hilarious local (or online) brawler. Weird concept, tight controls, and another proof that Unity can ship something that just feels fun and different.

What's next?

All of these started as ideas in the same engine you might be using. If you're building something in Unity and want to get from "tutorial hell" to "actually shipping," or you just want to sharpen your C# and design skills, getting structured feedback can help a lot. Check out my Unity game development mentorship if you want 1-on-1 coaching and a custom path that fits your goals. Either way, fire up a few of these on Steam and see what Unity can do when it's in the right hands.
