Have you played any of the demos? If so, leave your recommendation.

Go Mecha Ball and Cobalt Core picked my interest the most, also liked Crime Scene Cleaner (love Viscera Cleanup Detail) but reading discussions it seems to be a "fake" game.

I’d highly recommend the Talos Principle 2 demo. It’s a puzzle game (I believe it is called a “puzzle platformer”)

Oh I played the original in VR and I though it was the perfect format for it. Looks like there's no VR version of this one?

Probably not yet. The VR version of the first wasn't at release, either.

I was hoping they would build it in to the sequel, and now I worry the VR version didn't do as well as hoped and they may not plan to do it for the sequel.

I'm a big fan of Deep Rock Galactic so I've really enjoyed the survivor spin-off. DRG but as a top down vampire survivors inspired shooter

I went looking for Metroidvanias. Stumbled upon TEVI. A few others that I'll prolly be looking out for, but that one stands out to me.

Also Deep Rock Galactic: Survivor.

Check out the Ghostrunner 2 and Talos Principle 2 Demos!

The crust is my top pick, very promising resource management colony sim

I played the Foundry demo with friends. Felt a bit empty, which is to be expected for an Alpha, but it seemed quite stable and playable. It's quite promising. Already more stable than the Satisfactory dedicated server haha

Plungeroo has a fun pinball aesthetic and enjoyable puzzle design.

Galactic Glitch: Infinity's Edge was better than I was expecting it to be, the rock throwing mechanic is especially fun.
