Steam Next Fest is currently ongoing - which demos did you like/dislike? (store.steampowered.com)
 
 

Steam Next Fest, which is a regular event for showcasing upcoming games, is happening now on steam and will continue until February 12 at 10:00 AM PST (UTC-8).

With hundreds of demos available, even if you're only interested in a fraction of the games it's going to be difficult to try everything before the event ends. With that in mind, I'm hoping people can use this thread to share their thoughts on the titles they've played.

Which games did you enjoy, and which do you think suck? Please share your thoughts!
