Steam Next Fest 2025-06

I’ll be updating this post as I play new demos. As always, there are a lot of fun new demos to try.

Star Birds

From Kurzgesagt, creators of some of my favorite educational videos. It’s a chill logistics puzzle game, where you mine asteroids to gather resources that you send to other asteroids to mine more resources.

Xenopurge

Control a squad of cloned marines as they clear out alien hives. You can’t control the marines directly; you just give them orders and they attempt to follow them. Can get hectic at times. Wish it was easier to have them move in teams.

Cleared Hot

An old-school helicopter action game that feels right out of the 90s. The controls feel a little sluggish, but I think that might be on purpose.

Ratatan

Anyone who played Patapon back on the PSP knows how this game works. It’s the same rhythm-strategy game, but with roguelike elements where you upgrade your chorus between runs.

Mars Attracts

A theme park game set in the Mars Attacks! universe, where you abduct humans and put them in exhibits for other Martians to view.

TerraTech Legion

A bullet heaven game with the vehicle building of TerraTech. I love bullet heaven games and TerraTech, so this is an easy wishlist addition.

Dawn Apart

Voxel-based building game. I like the aesthetic, but I have a hard time figuring out exactly where some of my resources were disappearing to.

Ground of Aces

Build airstrips for the RAF during WWII. I enjoyed the bit I played, even though I was extremely inefficient.

Generation Exile

A city-builder with a focus on sustainability. Something about it just doesn’t click for me; I prefer something like Terraformers instead, which has a lot more depth. It’s also very yellow.
