If sharing games please at least say what their name is, post a steam store page link, and if possible describe what it's about in the best of your ability if you're not posting a webm. It saves everyone time. Thank you and have fun
Also any good openworld type games?

Eagerly waiting for twitter and reddit cope posts from failed devs seeing no one playing their game during the next fest

>>733700797To add to >>733700821 , there's the option to "Remove from Library" if it's a free game like a demo if you want it purged from your list. Under options iirc.

I found a MGR clone, but the demo is over 8 GB and UE5 which I'm wary of. Anyone have the bandwidth to try it out and see how it goes since this might be one of the last demos I try given I'm close to my monthly cap with my shitty internet? Much thanks.https://store.steampowered.com/app/3067170/Protagonist_Complex_one/
>>733701970Post your favorite demos so far bro
>>733700397https://store.steampowered.com/app/3668060/Down_with_the_Ship_Demo/Like this the most compared to other backpack battler slops. Konfronto was the most similar but that game was much more memey. I like how weapons and other tools use up resources, but at the same time you need to figure out if you can just wing it if your resource shows a negative regen number. Like my build I couldve probably gotten more bullet guns since I was capped at 50 ammo from the start and my two bullet guns didnt use that much. While inventory hull slots are easy to come by you also are punished with items taking a bit longer to activate if you go above every 20 hull slots or so, so you can either go small to avoid that or just go build wide to fit a bunch of items.It's a bit difficult to understand defensive items in this game, I have no idea whats good or not and people have shit like stealth which I havent seen in the shop yet. Also you instantly upgrade most items by buying a duplicate, the game doesnt have a recipe system where 2+ items makes a completely new one.Only other negative I had was that some items can only be placed on the edge on a hull, and also the hull slots can also be restrictive by not allowing you to connect the hulls on certain areas like one of the wing hulls.

Pretty rough but I'm thirsty for a proper god game.
I'm undecided on lootbound.it feels bullshit that stacking 4 armors gives you +100 armor but getting attacked by two enemies is already -200 armor and -100 health.there's no way to manage multiple enemies reliably, they will get turns, they will chip you. unless you roll some god items early.

>>733703859Balatro was a gambling sim anyway. We can go full CASHNADO for the bing bing enjoyers.
>>733703595I find it funny that I once saw a deckbuilder with AI sloppa cards called The Dark Horde on the first or second or so next fest and it ended up being my favorite deckbuilder because the dev is actually a pretty cool game designer, just not an artist.

>>733705169Music reminds me of Disgaea Infinite
>>733705781There's a lot of branching paths that loops around, despite being on 'rails'. So there's a sense of replayability if you wanna see the other paths and score better.
>>733705704Indie devs need to learn a lot from Teslagrad, minimal or no dialogue.
>>733704470BallisticNG has much better racing experienceAll they need to do give vertical control and higher top speed to make the floaty control more tolerable Somehow it has overheat mechanic that can be negated by half press trigger for half second, for what?

>>733705893Right, it only really makes sense to replay if you care enough to do the tricks better when you're allowed to
>>733704269>>733704987I'm playing it right now and it seems to be the game /v/ shitposters pretend Disco Elysium was, down to the pretentious vacuous prose about nothing, mini-rants about fascism shoved in for no reason, the entire skill of Statehood (meant to be like Authority but it just chimes in with militant commie reactions to world politics), female protagonist that sees misogyny in the most minute details, the female narrator also isn't very goodThere are some occasional nuggets of good writing, I like the skill/exert system, and the art is cool, but DE was truly lightning in a bottle and this game just feels like a lazy ripoff
>>733706014>it just chimes in with militant commie reactions to world politicsThe perfect sequel...

>>733700397These looked the most interesting from the ones Steam recommended me.
>>733704356>>733703859It's alright, it'll probably sell alot. Presentation-wise it's really good, but i like it alot less than Balatro gameplay-wise.>won Round 12 with a Silver Coin build. Had to get a bailout with the bankruptcy shake because I had a fuckhuge magnet silver stack that wasn't scoring.>Bad Coins despite being the closest equivalence to bosses (and it's very loose by that standard) feel like they have zero presence. As much as I dislike Balatro's boss design, their effects are immediately present. Genuinely didn't even realise there was a bad coin active at one point in the run until I hovered over it being buried under a coin pile and the negative effect was trivial.>inherently feels like there's significantly less direct interaction with the game state. Pretty much everything is down to just guessing the outcome. When you perform a set of scoring moves in Balatro, you have a general idea of how high it'll score (based on the actual hand mult x chips indicator and your score in previous hands), Here it's just a massive gamble and the variance on similar sequences (i.e. coin tossing) is insane in comparison due to shit like the state of the board coming off of the previous rounds, the spin reward, just the coin physics.>thoughts on the items in pic. >I really dislike the coin-buying system it's going for because it feels contradictory. I think the intention is that you're meant to build up a scoring/scaling board (e.g. building up pig coins, having chummy/relics linger around), but then you can't because you have to score it (which you have no significant control over) in order to actually pass the round, which just demolishes the potential to scale. >Then to double down on that, your scaling is dictated by shop RNG, the main reason why I think silver build works is just because it's the only coin that can be consistenly generated due to its item. Umbrella is basically a must-grab for this reason since it unfucks it.

>>733707445>the game doesn't tell youIt's one of the first things the game tells the player, that by holding RMB you can charge a shot or something. I forgot the details but I know the game was explicit
>>733707540Oh did it? Must've missed it under all the visual noise, or just simply forgot
>>733707445>so theres no reason not to use itThere are, each hit gives points, so shooting with shotgun gives you higher score
>>733707596>Must've missed it under all the visual noiseYeah that's fair kek. I only realized there was a "in the zone" double points state only after reviewing my game footage. Cicadamata has potential but the seizure-tier visuals are a bit much imo, can't see myself playing the game for more than 30 minutes at a time in a dim environment

https://rentry.co/bjsnf2026-1Has anyone noticed this weird trend of games binding movements keys to WASD regardless of genre? I ask this because there's been like 2 platformers and one beat 'em up using WASD and it's really fucking retarded and can only be explained by devs being mentally ill or left-handed or something.Do devs really not think about why conventions are the way they are?Anyways, addedhttps://store.steampowered.com/app/2876370/Portal_Brawlers/https://store.steampowered.com/app/4235410/Future_Knight/
>>733707118'One King Is Enough' is such an ugly game, I think it's the antialiasing and it fucks up the fonts especially. They should've gone ether fully vectored or fully pixelart.
>>733709328depends on the type of gameWASD is the standard for most games, since they also use the mouse.Arrow keys are only used if you're using Z X Spacebar etc for actions, and at that point it better have controller support.
>>733708715The dev needs to create a static world instead of proc-gen for rig riot, the generated worlds looks fucking dogshit
>>733707505I held off because I know I'll play the full thing.But in the brief part I did play, it seems like nearly every card offered was 0 cost. I only saw a single 2 cost card in 20 minutes, so the demo didn't really show off the combo mechanic at all.
>>733708715Map Map is from a previous fest.>>733709187Or maybe the difference is explained by the fact that Disco Elysium was written by different (competent) people and not the current ones still working at ZA/UM? Call me a Kurvitz dicksucker but I genuinely think Sacred and Terrible Air is good and that DE was carried on his worldbuilding. That said I guess we'll find out when Red Info releases whatever they're working on.>>733709515These were specifically "gamepad required" popup games with 0 mouse support. Hence my griping.

>>733709618The deeper you go the higher the cost of cards you are offered. I had the opposite problem that I was being swamped by cards that were all 2+ in cost and couldn't get the combo started.
>>733710172>Also mentally I found that using WASD is easier for muscle memory if you often play games on a controller, since it's the same hand used for the D-padMaybe I'm just old and too used to arrow keys + ZXCV or whatever but I find it really hard to believe the muscle memory for a thumb on a thumbstick somehow translates to WASD unless you're holding up your keyboard and thumbing it. It does explain why the devs are mapping the left thumb stick to the left side of the keyboard but I wish they would at least have the courtesy of allowing players to rebind the controls.
>>733710721Hey thats me. Yes, i also don't care and don't follow actors from my favorite movies
>>733711007Yeah okay that's fine but I'm just saying that it's crazy how many people are fans of the game and are actively going to finance legal proceedings against the people who created it by purchasing Zero Parades.
>>733710721I don't like DE, that's what my post in >>733709187 was about. Besides, what >>733711007 says. Separate the art from the artist because the artist is always a retarded faggot and the art is always good by accident. Every writer I've ever followed turned to shit eventually when his luck ran out. It can happen on the 5th installment, 3rd, or even on the 2nd. The less I know about the author's gay orgies and opinions on Droomph - the better. I started hating Spec Ops The Line because I was one of the naive fools who had the super cool "This is just a story of a broken man spiraling into madness" interpretation only to read developer commentaries about how it's actually just you being an evil gamist chud who killed brown women with chemical weapons and should feel bad about it, and I couldn't pay Spec Ops anymore because I realized that the signs that I am the evil gamist chud were all ingame all along and I just missed them and now I see them and I realize the game is shit.

The full game gets a lot harder, there's a scaling difficulty system like Balatro stakes or StS ascensions. I've delayed my release to the end of March so I (hopefully) don't get eclipsed by StS2.

Bobo Bay is pretty nice. Very blatantly rips Sonic Adventure's chao garden and does it well. Demo gives you 10 days to fuck around: You find bobos, compete, scavenge fruit and scraps to sell, and work on restoring the town. Most of it's nice except for the scavenging, which just happens on these tiny scattered islands you jetski to. It's pretty boring and the jetski got stuck once which forced me to pay a fee to get back to the mainland.

Assault Spy devs new game. Kind of neat, but honestly I was playing this boss fight like a mobile game. Spam basic combo that auto-tracks enemy, parry whenever it does anything.Kinda disappointing since boss fights were the best part of assault spy
>>733706494Repterra
>>733713273This game had a demo for a while now. It got an update not even a week before the Next Fest version, and the boss (actually, every enemy) was harder there. I'm not sure what's going on with that but there's definitely promise of harder boss fights. I liked Yasha way more in that last version too. It's actually kino when it lasts for 3 minutes instead of 1, because on replays you realize how much there is to the fight dynamic.
>>733713387Harder how?
>>733713273I think Mightreya has a lot of potential, I've had fun with the demo, but they really need a few more passes on the technical side of things, from the camera sperging out when there's more than 1 target, the constant clipping into walls/falling through the floor. The game feels like you're in DBZ when everything works and horribly disorienting if anything at all goes wrong. Also I would like it if the game actually applied and saved changes to settings.
>>733713273I would definitely like it if it wouldn't stutter so much
>>733713704This game was too damn short.
>>733713576To me it felt a step up from Assault in terms of map and enemies (given Assault was legit stock unity asset maps half the time, this is a given), about the same in story (Reya is literally just Amaru as a girl personality wise, the pink haired girl is a copy paste of his pink haired girl with bigger tits) but worse in the combat.Even ignoring the technical issues, your moveset is actually tiny. You have R1, launch or plummet, R2 and grab. Half of those require you or the enemy to have a meter at a certain level, the blue gauge or their hp. So 99% of the time you are pressing R1 and launc+followup just for style points. Punching them down feels pointless. nNo followup, damage isnt' good. Hopefully main game adds more variety via buying skillsOh and you can taunt too. But it makes you super vulnerable, can't be cancelled yet gives no resource and barely any style.Even if I end up not liking it, I hope it does well. I really liked Assault Spy and want to see its dev do better
I was interested in Forbidden Solitaire, but it reeks of generic uninspired 'wooah game's haunted', even if it has some soulful content to it (fake news videos or parents protesting). Sadly, it's biggest crime is that it's fucking solitaire - it's boring as balls.https://store.steampowered.com/app/3414580/Forbidden_Solitaire/
>>733713505>Armor didn't break nearly as fast, it had about double the bar it does now>Attacks were faster. You couldn't just dodge on raw reaction, you had to anticipate it>Boss changed up attack patterns a lot more, which forced difference in dodge timing and allowed for the fight to become more dynamicThe core of the fight still was "attack and dodge on reaction". But that's not all the fight was back in 9.1. In 9.32 (which seems to have reverted him to 8.2) the fight struggles to extend beyond that.
>>733713886It was. I liked it but I was disappointed after I realized I did everything I could before tournament. "That's all?" I thought. Apparently dev said he will expand it if game gets enough traction but I am not sure if 120 reviews are enough traction for him.
>>733713983I haven't played Assault Spy but I'd caution not to be fooled by the small moveset for Mightreya. The game actually has a lot of promising tech that expands on the potential and function of your moveset 3x over. It's like DMC3 in that way. The top-level DMC3 everyone knows is nothing like the DMC3 everyone actually plays.
>Items are dropped in soap crates>Wavedashing is possible but effectively uselesslol some very subtle commentary in here
>>733713886>>733714228how long was it? And how much like inscryption did it end up being?
>>733714181Sounds better if it was combined with the boss stagger bar staying broken for longer, similar to assault spyHe recovered so insanely fast in the demo I played it felt like a completely pointless mechanic. Especially since the third time I did it he just jumped full screen away from me instantly anyways. >>733714357Such as what, specifically? And as someone who played DMC3 through DMD like 5 times, comparing it to that actually makes it sound like it has LESS variety. Because high level DMC sees you using LESS of your moves because a lot of them simply aren't very good.

You're helping the pilot operate the systems, computers and controls of a fantasy miniature submarine. Old soviet theme, computers keep rebooting and glitching. Very well thought out. I just have a hard time seeing how you're supposed to operate everything yourself. Would be a cool co-op experience. Wishlisted.
>>733714507Like five hours for a playthroughThere's three endings depending on what you tell her to say thoughout the gameGameplay-wise it's literaly inscryption part 2 but a bit more gimmicky and predictable
>>733714543>high level DMC sees you using LESS of your moves because a lot of them simply aren't very goodWait, before I answer your other question, do you not actually know about DT values? This is kind of important because I might have to adjust the explanation depending on what you do and don't know about this sort of stuff.

There are three endings, you need to replay entire game to see another ending but you can copy save files to avoid that. Gameplay wise it is same as Inscryption part 2.I got it on discount so I guess it was worth the money, wish it was longer

>>733714660Okay so when I say "the top-level DMC3 everyone knows", I'm referring to the game that is played with DT values. And when I say the DMC3 everyone actually plays, I mean the game as it's "meant" to be played at a basic level. They're not at all the same game despite being part of the same system. The point I was getting to with that was that the basic tools to play one game or the other both exist in the same space, but are just put together differently to allow for vastly different options. Thus creating a sort of "different game" altogether.To answer your question about Mightreya tech you can>use your movement options in the time you're allowed to teleport after followup to carry inertia and reposition yourself + displace the enemy post-teleportation, instead of just appearing straight in front of the enemy and stopping them>hold the left stick in any direction during ANY knockback, and depending on your position relative to the camera, directionally influence the path in which the enemy ends up falling towards>Do a lot of neat "little" things that compound into a whole moveset in and of itself. For example, you can charge your teleport attack, use the grab from a distance, and then use the teleport ASAP to then outright swap positions between yourself and the enemy. For another example, it's possible to do reversals in this game like DMC4, where you do "reversed" versions of the move and manipulate their backwards hitboxJust to name a few examplesThis opens up your combo and skill expression game by a lot. It's better than a whole new weapon set in that instead of having more tools that do the same thing, it's tools that exponentially increase the value of what it is you already have by giving everything you do way more unique niche in possible followups. What would've only been 3 options to follow up then effectively become 7 instead of 3 + 3 more versions of the same thing.
>>733714624Oh hey someone else played it. Yeah I like the premise but the game feels like it needs many more passes. Giving one of the common enemy types a giant fuck-off laser is certainly a decision.

>>733706931>no default fps limit>700+ fpsfucking retards, had to enable limiter before my GPU made my PC fly away also you can't see shit, even the characters call it out. Anti-soul gas city as the only playable demo level? Why? I only played it twice yet the boss couldn't hit me a single time, you don't even have to bank or do "barrel rolls". I appreciate the Commendations you can earn, but the level feel too easy for it to be worthwhile. this game is some gay shit right?
>>733715270I will say Fur Squadron looks a lot straighter than this
>>733715095Gonna ignore the DMC shit because we're talking about demos and the current captcha system is way too fucking annoying to argue about irrelevant games.As for ReyaLiterally nothing you posted is actually fixing the issue of the moveset being tiny.That's all just using the same moveset very slightly differently, often for no reason at all when you can just facetank every enemy in the demo and parry anything they do In no way is that better than having more than like 5 attacks. I was hoping you meant hidden tech like how there's a taunt it never tells you about, not "you can mash R1 BACKWARDS and teleport for NO REASON"
>>733715270Why don't you have a global FPS limiter set to your monitor's refresh rate anyway?>this game is some gay shit right?No idea what game it is but I can clock that as gay furshit in an instant just looking at the portrait in the top left.
>>733714956best demo so farfull of soul, really neat new game design, action packed but still chill as fuck
>>733715325>Why don't you have a global FPS limiter set to your monitor's refresh rate anyway?I recently upgraded from a 970 to a 4080, haven't had the need previously lol
>>733715110It feels like a high school student project. Hard to feel keen on it when they seem to have rushed everything to get a demo out
>>733715321>In no way is that better than having more than like 5 attacksIt absolutely is better because the value of an attack is decided by their exact niche and function. This is just true at any level. The reason I brought up DMC3 isn't because I'm making a 1:1 comparison, but because this is just universally true no matter what game you play. DMC3 was just an example. It's why games with far smaller movesets can still be exponentially deeper and more interesting than games with seemingly infinite options.Also don't appreciate how, aside from the fact you chose to turn this into an argument for no reason, you're also strawmanning my point.

>>733715879It's not "common sense" because the difference in practice is that this tech gives you a whole slew of useful options that aren't possible otherwise. Which is my whole point you daft fucking retard.
>>733716086The way is to hire actual native English speakers to translate your shit but those cost 2-3x as much as jeets, so this is what we have to put up with.

He would OBJECTIVELY have LESS moves than he does in the actual game, even if you are a better player. Cancelling them more effectively would not be MORE moves or MORE variety it would be THE SAME variety done MORE efficiently In the same way Chaos Legion doesn't suddenly have MORE varirety when you realize you can cancel anything into Blasphemy. Its the SAME moves used in a slightly different way
>>733716517no
>>733716517>library of ruinaThe thing I hate about card games (any kind) is how they think it's acceptable to have your guy shift to the side a bit, flash the enemy red, pop a damage number, and that's combat. Ruina is the only one I've found that makes combat actually satisfying.
>>733716613I hate this.
>>733716605>A variety of moves is decided by a variety in movesReally? Because it sounds like you're not saying variety in moves. It sounds like you're saying amount of moves. Which is different from variety you obtuse fucking moron.

>>733716895Holy based
>>733714568>VRNice gotta try that
A reminder to sandbox your Steam client for NextFes if you don't want a bunch of demo's junk files/registry entries sitting around after uninstalling.

Is the cooking really that "nothing"? I know you're required to be full to proceed through the initial door at least and then I stopped playing just as I got the cauldron set up.
>>733710203Have you played The Council or Swansong, their previous games? Have they learned anything yet?
>>733703142>Beautiful but also rather simplistic blobberwtf does this mean? blobber? what's that stupid zoomer term holy shit
>>733718029It's a term likely older than you, anon.
>>733718029That term is older than you, faggot.Would you prefer if he called it a DRPG?
>>733717951Proton creates individual prefixes for each game so not a problem on my machine. Good advice though.>>733718029>blobber? what's that stupid zoomer term holy shitThe term blobber is older than you are.
>>733710203Yeah, I quit out of this game pretty quick. Horror games where your character keeps going "Jesus!" and "Fuck!" all the time are all invariably shit.
>>733718075>>733718089>>733718115t. zooomers defending their atrocious terminology for videogamesKill yourselves, unironically. You should be ashamed of yourselves.
>>733718012>Swansong
>>733717385So what if the gameplay isnt up to standards, the mc is a cute bunny girl so its still worth it
>>733718029Back in 1964, men invented jiggle physics. Well, a man did, but it was and still is popular to act like we invented something we had nothing to do with. And so the boober genre was invented; games focussed on boobs and how they jiggle. Bounce, they would. Big ones, small ones, perky ones, flabby ones. Every man would see a boob he likes and see it jiggle.A few homosexual men even added man boobs to the mix.A few even made the women fat.Unforuntately, THEY got offended. The woke. They woke up and made us remove them. Not just from games, but from history. All boobers never existed. We set technology back 30 years to cover this up. How could you have physics back then, they would ask? The blobber genre has nothing to do with this.
>>733715270looks gay, why are you gay?
>>733718228I love the bun, but holy shit the demo is boring and pointless.
Anyone know how to leave the repair bay or whatever it is in Nebula Veil?
>>733715884the gameplay doesn't look anything like DD.
>>733718182I'm in my mid 30s, just take the L.
>>733700397>WindroseVery polished crafting survival but I couldn't get into it. It felt too much like a game with the UI constantly in your face and the cartoony direction.
>>733716517Try Draw of Destiny. Good presentation and gimmick (your card evolves with each consecutive use)It's still rough on the edges tho
>>733718003>That really only works if a human or flat nose says it, it doesn't make sense for long snouts to say it because they can see a lot farther.Very good point
>>733718228I'm not falling for that again. I played that Mischief Makers clone with the cute girl and it was a waste of time. If the game itself isn't good I don't care how cute the MC is or how nostalgia baiting the presentation is.
>Airframe Ultra is having an open betaI played one of the closed alpha playtests and I got mad addicted. This game is great. I think it needs more polished menus because it reeks of "lower player base indie game" right now
>>733718784devs make ugly as sin games like this and find no issue with releasing it to the publicwhy are devs like this? Do devs not realize they will never sell 1 million copies like this?

>>733719121Is it kino or not just say it to me straight
>>733718953Explain faggot
>>733680219>Alliance Tales: Battle for the FrontierSuper responsive flight model, almost no momentum. A tad too arcadey but feels really nice and fun. Sharp, polished UI. Almost unplayable without HOTAS.
>>733719170I don't know yet, I am still at the beginning. So far it's cute
>>733718953right. i would try this game if it didnt look like piss
>>733719194>no momentumI knew I was forgetting to mention something, this did throw me for a loop.Thankfully the directional thrust and drift mechanics are there and snappy.But I think thats also from the last "space game" I played was Chorus, which was shit for multiple reasons but no RCS really killed it for me.
>>733717334Same devs as Cursecrackers
Are there any dreamcast aesthetic games
Fun fact!The bombun kissing animation was only added to the game so the dev could make her kiss human penises.The more you know!
>>733700818I got 2433 demo downloads so far
>>733717334>2D platformer that reminds me of Curse CrackersIt's hard to tell due to the lack of giant girls in the trailer/screenshots but it's the same dev.
>>733719121No breast expansion pill no buy
Looking for games with good anime tits and good gameplay.
>>733719542How many of them are just russian malware?
https://store.steampowered.com/app/2616540/Croak/PLAY CROAK! Really fun precision platformer with a tongue grab and bounce mechanic. And really beautiful. (trailer is kinda shit, since it focuses mostly on bosses, just ignore that and try it out)
>>733719359I tried Elite Dangerous once at my father place when it was new, with his hotas setup. It was very cool simply docking with a space ship. I might pick up a decent second hand stick once I get a steam frame never ever
>>733719739As someone who is shit at video games, how hard would I get filtered by it?
>>733719695do the russian bots also wishlist? I don't know if they do. idk I'll just be happy that line go up
>>733706627>Airframe UltraI REALLY wish this had a singleplayer modeThe idea is cool and I like some of the execution but fuck having to fight/race other people, my experience of the beta was being dead last or mostly last and the>race>now fight>now race againin the same levels meant that if you end up behind the pack, you get less time to do well in the next segment, and then you're onto the next one, and so on.
>>733719795just going through the levels is definitely doable (every room is a checkpoint) and already a fun experience. There's an added medal system (timed, no dying, collectibles) and if you want to go for those difficulty ramps up quite quickly.
>>733713273needs more particles and VFX I can almost make out the attack animations.
>>733720076I was having a laugh at the attacks that did full screen motion-lines (like the uppercut or dive kick), yet the enemy stayed completely still.
>All my "Recommended for You" games are card battlers because I have 1500+ hours in Master Duel I don't want to play card games I just want to play Yugioh

>>733719860What game?
>>733718371>>733717261The core gameplay during exploration is not, but everything else is flat-out DD. The artstyle, the portraits, the town management, the looting system, the stress mechanic during exploration etc.>>733717306From what I've seen it's just random generated people you can recruit
>find interesting game>chinese onrilearning japanese was a mistake those worthless fucks dont even make video games anymore.
>>733718115>Proton creates individual prefixes for each game so not a problem on my machine. Good advice though.Honestly wish this was a standard thing on Windows already. Keep the %appdata% and registry around for legacy shit, but start encapsulating everything.
>>733720168The card battlers this time are awful
>>733719860>less than 1000 wishlistsRelease your game ASAP and move on.>>733719795It's got quick respawning and no lives so you can easily get through it. That said good luck getting gold medals for time and no deaths.
>>733720356>find a game>it's chinese devs>tag it as Chinese and hit ignoreStill waiting on a dev country filter, Gabe.
https://store.steampowered.com/app/3441990/Withering_Realms/This was a curious game, it's like something in between Silent Hill and a Souls-like. You explore areas with fixed cameras and there's plenty of combat with typical Souls-like mechanics, but your guns use magic which refreshes quickly so you can either play it safe with your guns and stick to range or mix ranged attacks with melee to be more aggressive. You also have a spell that makes you immune to damage for a short window which lets you get more melee attacks in by using it together (it activates instantly).Beyond that it's got some simple puzzles and a few horror segments. The gameplay is serviceable at best but it still has me interested in it overall.>>733717072I just finished it myself, anon.A/B and the numbers aren't the same thing.A/B tells you which corpse, and the number is how many times you have to stab it.
>>733720360>Keep the %appdata% and registry around for legacy shitI wish they'd just fucking nuke it and force devs to stop dumping their bullshit on my C: drive>Space Marine 2 saves the ENTIRE SHADER CACHE in appdataun fucking real.
>>733718012Can't say I did, but the entire writing in Cosmic Abyss felt amateurish. Utterly ruined every bit of immersion.Oh yeah and the game literally has an option to have an AI tell you the puzzle answers.
>>733719657>visit the itch.io page>see THAT gifHoly shit my dick
>>733712039Oh this looks adorable, thank you anon
>>733720409Even the Vampire Survivors one?

>>733717951Oh no not a 9 kb Json in my C: drive my autism noooooo
>>733719984>I REALLY wish this had a singleplayer modeit doesn't? I was hoping it might be like ballisticNG
>>733720553I honestly don't know why Windows makes it such a pain to even move system directories around. And then you get the odd fucking program that hard-codes the fucking paths to C:\ and returns an error, so you then have to make a symlink for it.
>>733720738Windows is a house built on a smaller house built on an even smaller house and so on for like 20 more houses. It's a wonder it works at all.
>>733712039>watch the trailer>YOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
>>733720728I uninstalled Dirt Rally recently, and it left a saved replay file that weighed 8gb in My Docs.
>>733712039I refuse to play any game with pixel art that can't maintain a cohesive pixel ratio across every element.
>>733720843Damn that's retarded. Is there something stopping devs from saving shit like that to the install directory?
>>733721016It's been common practice on Windows since 7 to save anything related to a program to MyDocs or %appdata%, due to Permissions conflicts that may arise, especially if something is installed in Program Files. It also makes it so the files are per-User if more than one person uses that PC.
Finally a REAL game
>>733721197That sounds reasonable. I guess it's on the devs to not randomly hog 8gb unless explicitly telling the user first.
>>733721447>Settings in the menuThe fuck. Did they leave a Debug flag on? Games haven't done that shit since Win98SE.
>>733720440I have 9000 total, thats wishlist per day, it says it right there

>>733719657Panic floorThere's a series of input you can do on the title screen to change the main character's tit size. I forgot the code thoughhttps://store.steampowered.com/app/1971670/Panic_Floor/
https://store.steampowered.com/app/2638080/Annihilated/Japanese roguelite that has elements of a deckbuilder but doesn't really play like one, you pick up gear as cards but you don't draw through a deck of them, you just have them all in your hand at all times and they each have a limited number of uses before they break, also there's a little QTE for each attack too which dictates which target you're hitting when there's multiple and also if you crit or not.Pretty text heavy opening and the art is doing a lot of the work but enjoyable.
>>733720735It doesn't. I've heard rumours/vague promises of a PVE mode at some point but it seems very much like the dev is focusing almost exclusively on PVP right now.Which, fine, whatever it's their game. But it's SO ANNOYING because the game is so cool in how it handles but actually playing it against other people (especially if they know even a fraction more than you) is a fucking drag.
Factory 95 is a pretty decent Windows 95 themed factory gamehttps://store.steampowered.com/app/4128230/Factory_95_Demo/a bit on the easy side for the demo but still enjoyable if you like Zachlike games
Cute demo.

I wish you could review demos so I could filter out all the garbage ones
Sometime in the last couple years (I think it was at steamfest) I saw a teaser trailer for a game that looked something like a grimdark rainworld. It was a 2d platformer you played as some sort of amorphous alien blob and there was some sort of conflict in the background and you were trying to avoid the war machines. It looked interesting and I have been wanting to check in on it. Unfortunately I forgot the name, does anyone have any idea what game I am talking about?
any nice rpgs with fun character growth possibilites?
>>733721910thanks, I hope it gets past 10k with next fest, it was stuck at 7000 for a bit, I think with enough wishlists the algorithm starts recommending the game more on the "more games like this" bar.
>>733720356>find interesting game>taiwanese devs>they're always huge japanophiles so it usually has a great JP translation and sometimes even JP voices when it doesn't even have chinese oneslol sucks to be you

>>733722176I'm a dumb chink cocksucking jeet and I meant to reply to >>733720491

https://store.steampowered.com/app/3819240/Far_Far_West_Demo/Skelebros what are we thinking about this? Fun co-op FPS, or do we hate it to be contrarian because the demo is super popular and is already ranked Overwhelmingly Positive?
>>733722547Both are fine
>>733722647I hate you because you couldn't make a normal post about the game
https://store.steampowered.com/app/3819690/Nox_Mortalis_Demo/kingfield like on a large islandenemies stay dead, permanent xp gain like gothic(unless you die)massive demo, too large imo.

>>733722325wutwhat are you talking about
>>733721595Nope, that's just how it works. The demo plays like an arcade game so I assume the "90s arcade game on PC" experience is intentional.>Games haven't done that shit since Win98SE.Lightning Returns (and I assume the other FFXIII games) also did this for some reason.>>733721669A quarter is the best I can do. Take it or leave it.
AirFrame Ultra is fucking awesome, i mean i think balance is kinda fucked but who cares
>>733723031>Half>Quarter>EighthWhat the hell is this guy doing lmao
Apparently if you add "Online-Coop" to the "Tags To Exclude" list the "Show More" button disappear from the NextFest pageSteam is LITERALLY forcing me to consume Friendslop
>>733713704For some reason the devs decided to use unreal engine 5. I unwishlisted mightreya after that>le poorfagI have a 5090. I mog you
>>733708845hmm i wouldnt say gunz, its more like a slightly older arcade game called The Grid by Midway crossed with JetMoto
>>733709120picked up, i could tell rain world was very good but just not for me. ive been have a lot of fun with airframe so far
>>733719795It's unironically on the easier and intuitive side. Like mid game DKC tier
>>733723193I've had the button disappear for me too without doing anything special. Shit's just bugged.
>>733722626Yup, just wish the game wasn't so particly effecty but great atmosphere and vibes. Kinda reminded me of Tunic

deadline delivery is really good.Actual sovl game for once.The DUSK rpg is also cool
>>733723307I think I saw you in one thread sharing complains about performance when I thought it might be just my old 1660 kek
>>733722471It is not that game, but thanks for trying.I actually figured out what it was.https://store.steampowered.com/app/3238030/Uruc/I hate it I spent like an hour googling and going though bookmarks but could not find it and gave up. Then I tried Google Gemini and it found it. Guess I need to crack out the AI more often.
>>733723980It's not your card's faultthe "I mog you" was addressed to potential jeets and paid shills
I tried Widrose, which is Valheim, but with pirates and ship combat but honestly the combat is again what puts me off with these gamesbut if you don't mind the Valheim-like shitty combat it's very well made and nice graphics

>>733700397Ardenfall genuinely surprised me with how decent the demo is. Morrowind-y, though I do wonder how deep the the consequences of decsions in the game will go. For now you can kill the village by hitting the whale thing, and I hope making it small bites me in the ass too.

When are devs gonna rise up against posts like these? They’re treated like cattle, used to prop up another guy’s account for nothing in return. And this is every NextFest.

Okay, so far I've found three games I am definitely going to buy. Withering Realms, Gloomveil and now Deep Snow Delivery. Fucking kino. I love indie games.
>>733718029I also had to look up what "blobber" meant. Never heard of it before.Probably used by the same people that say "story beats".
>>733724559>we have Rock and Stone at home
>>733725376Similar art style but it's just fighting isn't it? There's no mining I think. I haven't downloaded the game yet.
>>733725085The replies get nothing and all the algorithmic flow goes to the OP, the non-dev, for getting the views here.
>>733725008Rabbit Holehttps://store.steampowered.com/app/2831340/Rabbit_Hole/>>733725172Deep Snow Delivery is great even if I only spent hour in demo. I still have to try out Withering Realms and all other demos I haven't get to play yet
>>733725008Rabbit Hole by shortcake. It's a full game, not a demo. But you can treat it as one since it's free (and 2 years old)https://store.steampowered.com/app/2831340/Rabbit_Hole/Roguelike unfortunately but the variety is so small that it can almost be treated like an arcade game

>>733726502I only knew from other anons. If you want to knowMoving the window around will make her experience an earthquake. However since it's in full screen (at least it was for me) minimizing and maximizing works as well. Another thing I've heard but haven't tried was lowering the game's volume when she speaks or something.I would have experimented more if the intro wasn't so long. The concept sounds interesting but I'm not sure how much you can do with it in the full game
>>733722647It's kind of just fine, I don't think it has the juice to last more than a couple sessions with friends, which seems antithetical to the dev's desires when the stupid dickheads gate every weapon behind hours of play in a fucking demo

>>733724418You're not missing much honestly. It's just AC6 but worse in every way AND it's a roguelike.
>>733725631Zero parades is DE for women
Why are roguelikes bad again?>Because progression is horribly balanced and you sweep the entire game after enough triesHow do you know if the progression is there?
>>733722093you can
https://store.steampowered.com/app/2162560/Enter_the_Chronosphere_Demo/Top Down Super Hot basically, time moves when you move. Seems pretty solid, but I didn't play too much, I wasn't really in the right mindset. Neat Style though.
>>733720356set your store to only show games with english availableif you start the game and it's in chinese anyway, you've found 1 of 100000 examples where the faggots make you blindly navigate to the settings menu to change the language
>>733727891For me it's the fact that the majority of them have extremely basic to non existent level design>go into a box>kill>go through a door into another box but this time there's a small section that has spikesor you have cases like that one running game however many next fests ago that had literally no reason to be a roguelike at all but they still forced it in for some reason
>>733704182This is the second game I've seen this next fest featuring a giant purple woman with big boobies.
I have to many games already on wishlist and 20 that i brought and haven touched yet, I can’t anymore anons... anyways playing kotama academy citadel, ngl game is like combining sliksong and nine sols, bitch is hard

>>733702361Stealth is linked to the evasion buff, when you have 10 stacks it goes to zero and you enter stealth for some time.
>>733728821main story is around 10-12h having or take you skill level, exploration is legitime insane, there are too many secrets and its own path of pain(which you can skip if you want, thank god) so a 100% will be around 20-22h, i suggest you to wait a few months before going in, the devs are adding things like voice acting, so in 6 months it should be much better than now.
holy shit you guys were not joking about rig riot. That first area is really unappealing. Also the re-spawning enemies are also bad too. I get he wants to introduce the sense of scale that armored core has but it needs a-lot more refinement.
Birds Watching actually had an intense atmosphere that I haven't felt in a while. Kinda wish I actually didn't play the demo and waited for the full game since that woulda been great to experience blind.
>>733729007That's a rare thing these days, devs adding stuff that substantial. Will keep an eye on it. Thanks, anon.
I might think Rami Ismail is a pretentious piece of shit who should keep his fucking mouth shut, but the man knows how to make fun video games. I wish he was less of a cunt so he could be celebrated because between him and Edmund, I think he's the stronger dev. Australia Did It is fun.
>>733714568Yeah I've had my eye on this one for a while. Demo was really cool, like how it's involved enough to feel like you're actually piloting a complicated machine but not full "autismo DCS-world 100 page pdf just to move forward" mode.
>>733727891Early areas are far too easy because people have to redo those sections over and over. You will never get a good, difficult boss from a roguelike’s demo.
>>733729143>Rami Ismailliterally fucking who
>>733725172Yeah this was really comfy, but I wonder how long before it gets repetitive and tedious, like a certain other game.
>>733727047>>733727742Race fetishism is lame and gay because your self-esteem is so abysmal you're imagining women liking you for THE most basic superficial features you have instead of imagining yourself as actually attractive.
thoughts on REPLACED
>>733729287Yeah they have a decent amount of systems each with seemingly important functions. It really feels like you're maintaining a mechanical vessel
>>733729749Pretty but gameplay loop is dogshit >basic stealth section - basic bamham combat encounter - basic box puzzle - repeat
>>733729749I like the art style but the game is too easy.
>https://store.steampowered.com/app/1626170/People_of_Note/Music themed final fantasy. Kinda feels lackluster, like it needs more polish (animations seemed wonky, basically no background sounds, weird glitches in the dialog sections). Gameplay seemed fairly standard for the genre. Didn't bother finishing the demo. I'm a bit surprised, I thought there was a decent amount of cash involved in this.

There's unironically too many games this time. I can't even make it through the "action" game tab.
Any low poly horror or even high poly horror?
https://store.steampowered.com/app/4169030/DownSouth_Demo/I'm torn on this one. Looks fantastic, plays nice enough when you get used to the moveset, but the only choice that seems to actually matter so far is the one before the boss (which REALLY matters, seemingly). Or I guess two choices. The one before the boss and the one after. I'm not sure what the full game can do to remedy that considering it seems to be a clear cut case of "good choice vs evil choice" and the evil choice straight up chunks you out of one of your 4 "soul tokens".
>>733701772>>733701801the harder difficulties make her bigger. but if the help screen is anything to go buy then her tits will get so big that they block your view of the board. i'm just hoping we get to see a good progression of breast expansion. i want to see areolas peeking out, then part of the nipples, then the whole nipples, then the shirt rip open. i really hope there's lactation in it too since she's like a cow yokai of some sort
Mmmhhh
I LOVE DEEP SNOW DELIVERY SO FUCKING MUCH
>>733730576I'm probably overrating it, but I have a soft spot for economics/trading games (Offworld Trading Company, Machiavelli the Prince, EVE Online, Book of Travels) to the point I'm willing to ignore the fact that it's AI slop. One of my favorite games of the last fest was Q-UP which funnily enough I ended up buying and beating several times despite the fact that I never wrote a review for it and that scratched the same itch despite being a much better optimization/incremental-type game.
>>733730831There's only about 600 more games than last time.
>>733731230That's 1200 too many

>>733707046...How do you make a roguelite total war?
>>733709328>Super Alloy Crush>figuring out which screen leads to resources and which leads to progression is trial and error and I don't like it.The blue arrow always points to the right direction (plus yellow paint).The blue guy's gameplay sucks and the roguelite mode was boring, but the red girl is fun and her bouncy tits in the pause menu are nice.I just hope they add more weapons in the full game to spice things up since level design really isn't the dev's passion.
>>733731546>How do you want your mascot platformer design?>Just fuck my shit up
we fucking monsters here
>>733731069I didn't know what to think about it either. It seems like it's mostly just an art and gameplay demo to get people to back the Kickstarter and has jackshit for the story even though that's supposed to be a huge part of it. It really does seem well made but it's hard to feel strongly about it. I'll check back on it when it's done.
last 5 are kinda forgettablethe very last one probably stole my information
any shmup recommendations?

>>733721997I wish it was longer or at least have some dream locations
>>733725631Easily Esoteric Ebb. Tried the new demo for a bit and still really like it, but I'll wait until they announce a release date before I dump more hours into it.
>>733700397What's the verdict?What do I play?
https://store.steampowered.com/app/2831290/Clockwork_Ambrosia_Demo/Is this a good Castleroid game
>>733727418It's definitely a lot easier to start off than Super Meat Boy. It's probably harder to spam sawblades everywhere in 3D without it looking ridiculous.
>>733732501Your backlog
>>733732010By having Slay the Spire map instead of the usual total war campaign.Works surprisingly well.
Lots of car combat/delivery games this time.
this looks goodhttps://store.steampowered.com/app/1798230/ATMOSFAR/>ATMOSFAR is a sky-high odyssey set on an alien planet of floating islands explored by flying crafts and a mobile airbase as you uncover the fate of your collapsed colony.

>>733731804haven't finhsed, playing atmradio is cute
>>733733053it was fine. the only real issue i had was there being only one save spot which was kinda far from the final boss. i died and didn't really wanna repeat a good chunk of the demo again.maybe it's a demo thing maybe i'm just stupid
>>733731128>>733732105everything about this artstyle screams "SoCal"
https://store.steampowered.com/app/2640950/Scott_Pilgrim_EX/There's a new fucking Scott Pilgrim beat-em-up???
>>733721949Seconding this recommendation. Just finished the demo (on one of the four routes; still need to try the others) and came here to see if anyone else had mentioned itThread's past bump limit, so I guess I'll wait and post a longer post shilling this the next time I see one of these threads
>>733733358>the only real issue i had was there being only one save spot which was kinda far from the final boss.I was thinking the same way until i found out that there is actually another save room almost right before the final boss.
Do people even like card builders as much as I keep seeing them? There is SO many of these that I'm kinda perplexed how it ratios action games.
>>733733513Yeah it's fun. Too bad the demo ends right before the first boss.
>>733733863I keep hoping to see the entire card game plague infesting Steam to collapse and vanish for good.
>>733720341If its not turn based then its not a comfy game, ergo the audience is different. I don't play non-turn based games. I'm a cozy gamer.

>>733731804What constitutes finishing it? I did a full loop around to metro and back to crater and short of driving the 18km to Babel or something I missed at Metro I don't really know what to do next.
>>733703142>>733707505>>733720643>Vampire Crawlers: The Turbo Wildcard from Vampire SurvivorsThe first four levels were soo shallow and slow, the choosing cards felt basically meaningless since there wasn't any challenge. Had to quit.
>>733721949that trailer was atrociousdevs really need to learn some fucking marketing holy shit.I'm only gonna try this shit game because /v/ recommended it, otherwise it was an easy skip with such a slog of a trailer with 0 gameplay.
>>733733863I don't mind the ones that are only using cards because they look neat like Annihilated (no deckbuilding, you always get the same cards every turn) and Vampire Crawlers (slot machine simulator), and One Turn Kill from the last Next Fest (similar to Helen's Mysterious Castle, you use math to solve puzzles disguised as combat encounters).
>>733733863All it takes is one Balatro or Slay the Spire to become a millionaire so devs are going to keep trying.

Speedrunners 2 is okay I guess.Not really sure why they are even remaking the first game instead of doing something new.
>>733734419>the choosing cards felt basically meaningless since there wasn't any challenge.That's pretty much how OG Vampire Survivors was like so it's on theme
>>733731129Why? Looks like uncslop
>>733734490The opening bit kind of drags on, but once you pick your companion and get to the actual gameplay I think it's pretty fun

>>733734660>>20018 games have been released in 2025 on Steam (cumulative: 120932).
>>733734660From my understanding it's just the usual devs making more smaller games faster, since those sell better.
>>733734996That's more like counterslop than anything but I feel like the two have just become fused at some point in people's minds.
Are the little smiley blocks that turn into spikes REALLY necessary?

Holy fuck I think Cicadamata might be one of the winners of this Next Fest. Though I'm way too old to play shit like it at this point. I guess this is what sensory overload is like.Cargo Hunters was disappointing.
>>733735269I respect a man so flagrant about his fetishes.
>>733734614He does really good breakdowns of how well shit does on Steam though. It's how I found out that horror is one of the top genres, which explains why there are so many of them and tells me that people who play them have really low standards.
