Next Fest February 2024 - NOW LIVE!
store.steampowered.com
Steam Next Fest is a week-long celebration featuring hundreds of FREE playable demos as well as developer livestreams and chats. Players try out upcoming games on Steam pre-release, developers gather feedback and build an audience ahead of their Steam launch, everyone wins!

Steam Next Fest, which is a regular event for showcasing upcoming games, is happening now on steam and will continue until February 12 at 10:00 AM PST (UTC-8).

With hundreds of demos available, even if you’re only interested in a fraction of the games it’s going to be difficult to try everything before the event ends. With that in mind, I’m hoping people can use this thread to share their thoughts on the titles they’ve played.

Which games did you enjoy, and which do you think suck? Please share your thoughts!

    Balatro, it reminds me of how everyone who back in the day played Solitaire on the desktop to pass time. Instead it has a modern take with poker and mixing it into a roguelike. Easy to learn but can be complicated. I thought I was going to put 30 minutes into the game but now I have 10 hours into it and can’t wait for full release. Recommend it even if you do not like card games.

      The modifications you can make to your deck are straight forward but feel ridiculous by the end of the run.

      “Change 3 cards to diamond”
      Sure, why not.
      “When you play a diamond, increase how much it scores.”
      Cool.

      By the end of the run 40 cards in my deck are diamonds, my Flushes are worth 3x as many points, and each card is scoring points twice.
