Final thoughts -

Why are there so many horror games about working a retail job?

Ugh, still so much AI artwork in games at Next Fest

I hope you like survivors games because we've put survivors on your survivors!

Not so much porn games as last time.

Fairly decent next fest, a few games wishlisted

The Last Caretaker - The demo doesn't show much but what it shows has real promise. I did a stream of this game and spent 30 minutes just chucking random crap onto my ship so I could scrap it. This is one I am going to play on my channel for sure.

Heat N' Hit - Another blacksmith game demo (lot of these lately.) Not quite as polished as Bladesong and there's no customisation plus it feels a bit punishing with the time limits. However, it looks promising and I enjoy these kind of games.

Athena Atlas - Circus Strongwoman Vtuber @athenaatlas.bsky.social · 23h

Dungeons & Kingdoms - Hurt my brain a little trying to work out how to do things and needs time polishing but it's ambitious as hell and I look forward to seeing it when it releases. There's a disclaimer the game isn't polished when you start.

Athena Atlas - Circus Strongwoman Vtuber @athenaatlas.bsky.social · 23h

Marvel Cosmic Invasion - SHULKIE! Need I say any more. Of course I was going to love this game. I get to play a badass version of She-hulk beating the snot out of AIM goons! Also totally going to cosplay this version, love the outfit for her! Really want to play this with friends when it releases.

Blind Descent - Okay, this was a real surprise for me. It's basically The Forest but set in some kind of Martian Hollow Earth. A beautiful vibrant world inside the red planet to explore. Feels like The Forest without the horror elements and more of a sci-fi adventure vibe.

Athena Atlas - Circus Strongwoman Vtuber @athenaatlas.bsky.social · 23h

Bladesong - This took me by surprise, it's a blacksmith game with a story and the customisation you can do to swords is insane. There's no time limit on crafting items either so you can really spend time making them your own. Loved it.

Athena Atlas - Circus Strongwoman Vtuber @athenaatlas.bsky.social · 23h

Monsters are Coming! - Rock and Road

Addictive is the word for this. If you like city building and you like vampire survivors boy do I have a game for you. First run went bad but once I started working out which buildings to build and which synergised it was great. It's frantic as hell too.

Half Sword - I was in hysterics the entire time playing it. First fight was essentially some kind of slap fight as I waggled the mouse trying desperately to hit someone. It's stupid, it's fun and it's really bloody.

Athena Atlas - Circus Strongwoman Vtuber @athenaatlas.bsky.social · 23h

Minos - A dungeon keeper style game but more of a roguelite and a Greek Mythology theme. I enjoyed what I played though it's punishing when you make a stupid decision like I did. That's the nature of roguelikes though!

Lessaria - I really liked it, the fact that you don't control your troops or heroes and they go off and do their own thing was an interesting change for an RTS style game. I also love the twitch integration and can see that being a lot of fun with viewers getting to be heroes in your game.

Athena Atlas - Circus Strongwoman Vtuber @athenaatlas.bsky.social · 23h

Cloudheim - Another game I absolutely love. Some of it was a little confusing at first but the mixture of adventuring and running a store was so much fun. I can't wait to play it with others when the full game comes out!

The Legend of Khiimori - I adored this when I played it. The horse felt more than just a vehicle, it was a creature I had to look after and care for. It felt like a mixture of the journeying of Death Stranding with a horse game and was so cozy and relaxing exploring a culture not often seen in games

Painkiller - It's a massive reboot for the franchise and it's really going to annoy those people that use the word "woke" like it's a bad thing. It's so much fun to play even in singleplayer and could replace Darktide for me, definitely replaces FBC Firebreak.

Time for a thread of Steam Next Fest demos I've played so far and my thoughts!

Imagine a survival game based in The Hollow Earth. It would be so awesome! It could be Journey to the centre of the earth inspired or more pulp adventure inspired. Dinosaurs, ancient artefacts and mysteries to find, giant bugs and other strange creatures. Damn...why hasn't anyone done this yet.

Two settings that absolutely need more video games.

Hollow Earth - A survival style game with a pulp adventure maybe a Jules Verne style to it would be amazing.

Planetary Romance - I would adore an adventure game or again a survival game inspired by John Carter and the like!
