The Steam Next Fest has started for the next 6 days you get to play demo’s of unreleased games. What games are you playing or planning to play?

I’m personally interested in

Wizard with a gun: A top down shooter with crafting and co-op.

Rouge Voltage: An automation card battler? Very interesting mix of genres, hopefully the automation is fun.

Rouge Command: A simple looking RTS rougelike.

    just played Beyond Sunset yesterday. a fun and dynamic arena FPS that takes some elements from Doom Eternal. it’s made on GZDoom.

    so far i’ve tried:

    • wizard with a gun: didn’t love it, felt a little too slow and repetitive for me. gonna have to wait and see what the full game looks like.
    • fortune’s run: this game goes so hard, can’t wait for it to release. if you like imm sims check this out. this is one of those games that isn’t lying about the difficulty - even medium is pretty challenging. also the music is good enough to make me wish they released soundtracks for demos

    excited to try valley peaks, viewfinder, and hammerwatch 2 whenever i get a chance

    Not sure if it’s on Steam NextFest, but recently played the demo for Jumplight Odyssey, and had a lot of fun with it. Art style is great, and I enjoyed what I was able to play of the main gameplay loop. I loved FTL when it came out but always wanted a little more RPG type elements and it looks like Jumplight might scratch that itch really well. The base-building/Xcom feel is also a big plus.
