1 min read
Summary
Valve is showcasing over 2,200 games during its Steam Next Fest event, which offers users the chance to download a variety of free demos.
Ars Technica has been playing many of the demos in an effort to find interesting games and has settled on a selection of titles that it recommends to readers.
The first is Afterblast, which the site describes as a fusion of Returnal and Doom, and is labelled as a “twitch-action shooter” that is particularly rewarding when players master its rapid gameplay.
Other highlights include Rollerdims, a game about virtual reality rollerblading, and bass-driven rhythm game Echoes of the Eye.
Readers can share their favourite demos discovered at the event in the comments section of the Ars Technica article to help others.
