A whole mess of Steam Next Fest demos

Play it on: PC
Current goal: Wishlist some rad games

Steam Next Fest, a frequent event highlighting upcoming games on Valve’s PC storefront, runs through this weekend, so in addition to playing heaps of the aforementioned Diablo IV in the coming days, I also intend to take advantage of this opportunity to try out as many exciting unreleased games as possible. The reality is that I’ve already snagged more demos than I’m realistically going to try, but hey, they’re free, so I may as well toss them in my library for the moment. One I’ll definitely be trying out is Cyclopean (see the trailer above), which just looks so damn mysterious and intriguing, with its mix of Ultima-style top-down navigation and first-person dungeon-crawling, all in that gorgeous monochrome art style. In addition to that, some of the many other promising games I hope to spend at least a bit of time with include the road trip RPG Keep Driving (which Zack recently wrote about for us), the old-school survival horror game Becrowned, the cyberpunk adventure Neon Blood, and the “somber souls-like action RPG” Chrono Sword, just to name a few. — CP
