I want to play it because of the story :)
I first tried it on Game Pass, but I recently bought it (it was on a big sale), planning to give it another shot. This time I’ll try playing during the day — maybe that’ll help :)

I thought V Rising was mostly an ARPG, but I guess there are some survival elements in it.

I played the Resident Evil 2 demo when I was a kid, and it was pretty okay. But then something must have gone wrong with me, and I turned into a scaredy-cat. I recently tried SOMA and couldn’t handle it. But I want to give it another try...

A really good offer. If I could play horror games, I would definitely get the subscription.
V Rising is apparently good too.
And Yakuza is amazing, but I’ve already played that one.

It was a long journey, but I got to Act 3 in Silksong and I’m completely amazed. It feels crazy that Team Cherry hid something like that after the credits. An incredible game, even though it’s really hard for me—the longer I play it, the more I love it.

Decktamer
Card game mixed with monster catching. Some ideas are nice, but the UI is a bit cluttered and overall it didn’t really excite me. However, the demo reviews are excellent.

Master of Piece
So far my favorite. A visually appealing roguelite deckbuilder that made me want to start another run immediately after finishing one. At first, it felt a bit too easy, but the boss absolutely crushed me. Added to my wishlist.

Hermit and Pig
A turn-based RPG with pleasant visuals and brilliantly written dialogue. I highly recommend trying the demo just for the writing—it's fun. The combat wasn’t particularly impressive to me, but it does offer a wide range of customization options.

Next Fest impressions:

REANIMAL
It stands out mainly for its visuals and atmosphere; I really liked the character animations. I played in co-op, the shared camera worked well, but I found the use of cooperation and the originality of the puzzles somewhat weak.

Thanks for the detailed review — especially the part about the narrative, which was more positive than it usually is in reviews, made me happy. I still haven’t gotten around to Yotei yet (so many games, too little time), but I definitely plan to fix that.
