I have played other games too, but didn't wishlist them so couldn't review them. If there's any you think I missed, let me know. I'll share if I played it and my review of it.

TAXI CHAOS 2:

The spiritual successor to Crazy Taxi is back and more chaotic than ever. The concept of a human taxi driver in a world with taxi bots is really intriguing, and also adds a lot of challenging concepts to make each playthrough worth it.

TESTER WANTED

Game developer needs your help in testing concepts for the game he wants to build. It's really clever in the direction in takes, and has a few twists along the way. If you play this, I highly recommend turning on subtitles, as the developer only had French voice lines prepped.

GRAV MY BALLS

Lewd jokes aside, it's a Portal-like with colored balls to control gravity of certain physics objects in levels. There's no grabbing cubes, only manipulating gravity. And the concept works to an extent, just as long as it isn't too finnicky.

PURE POOL PRO

Just your standard 3D Pool game. Nothing special here.

As a kid, I used to play Jeanette Lee's Virtual Pool 3, and the controls in this one actually remind me of playing that. Still prefer VRChat billiards, but worth a look nonetheless.

ULTIMATE SHEEP RACCOON

Was already following this when announced, and I played Ultimate Chicken Horse, so I knew what kinda game I was getting into. I just love how it built on the original formula and made it better by adding the element of riding bikes.

VIRTUOSO GP RACE - ON:

Instant early arcade reminders, and I also like the nod to the 32-bit era with the graphics here. Only tried the F1 class racers, and experienced one graphical bug while playing, but provides enough of a challenge to keep me going.

Virtuoso GP Race - On on Steam
An homage to early 3D racers: true ’90s handling with bespoke physics, checkpoints with EXTEND TIME, instant restarts, ghosts, and global leaderboards. Demo: Sakura Coast & Dunas de Giza.

FILTRATION:

I didn't play a whole lot of this one, but I did have enough of an understanding to have faith in this one. It's a puzzle platformer where you control a ball through different environments to solve intricate puzzles.

This thread concerns some of the games I found remotely interesting during Steam Next Fest. I only looked at certain genres, so if there are any titles you think I should check out, do let me know.

These are listed in order by listed release date, with all unclear listed together.
jalenbarks.bsky.social
Now that Next Fest is happening, I wanna try and see if we can get a thing going:

Can we start coining the term "Portal-like" to refer to a game that plays and feels similar to the Portal games in a way? The whole "Test lab" aesthetic, the moving of cubes, etc. Those mechanics.

Thanks for joining tonight's stream! I didn't know how much fun I was having with Waterpark Simulator until JUST now! This is definitely something I can come back to!

Also, one of my guests loves me too much! www.twitch.tv/jalenbarks/c...

Welp, time for me to finally get wet. I mean, what?

Waterpark Simulator tonight, 7pm EDT.

Thanks for joining tonight's stream! I like my sim games, but when they come with a story, there are times where it doesn't vibe with me. This one is one of those games. But I still recommend Arcade Paradise for those into these games.

Love acknowledgements in replies.

Welp, my old folks may have bought me a laundromat. But I think it needs something better. How about we try to turn this into our Arcade Paradise? twitch.tv/jalenbarks
