The latest edition of Steam Next Fest is over, and Steam has shared its list of the 50 most-played demos from the week-long event. This year’s list was pretty heavy with horror, adventure, RPG, and simulation games. And surprisingly, only a few roguelike and racing titles.
One of the most unusual titles was Final Sentence, a battle-royale typing game that has a fatal ending for any player who can’t keep up with the pace.
Another title that caught our eye was The Cube, Save Us: an extraction shooter with a very arresting visual style.
