New Free Steam Game Has ‘Overwhelmingly Positive’ Reviews

A new game dubbed ENA: Dream BBQ is quickly finding favor on Steam, earning near-universal praise from players and skyrocketing to the echelon of the platform’s highest-rated releases in 2025. In addition to the extensive critical acclaim, ENA: Dream BBQ is completely free for Steam users to download and play.

Developed by ENA Team, ENA: Dream BBQ is a surreal exploration adventure game that launched quietly, but has taken off thanks to an overwhelmingly positive response from thousands of Steam players. Its success hasn’t manifested entirely out of the blue, though, as ENA: Dream BBQ is based on the beloved animated YouTube series created by Joel G, who also published the game. Thanks to its offbeat art style and dreamy, often bizarre storytelling, ENA has built up a loyal fanbase over the years, and it’s set to gain many more from Steam.
