Abort Sequence - This one I like the idea of. Its basically a game to solve a series of puzzle on a timer. My only concern is whether or not the timer starts to annoy me. Otherwise, really well done in my mind and will likely pick it up. store.steampowered.com/app/5048190/...

store.steampowered.comSurfpunk on SteamSurfpunk is a 1-4 player co-op "Surf 'n Slash" featuring radical surfer-pirates, procedurally-generated islands, awesome loot and endless swarms of monsters. Surf, Shred, Scavenge, Repeat!

17h

SurfPunk - Surf Pirates go Raiding as an ARPG. Combat was good, didn't pay attention to the story, the loop seems decent. Overall, a yes for me co-op, but a no solo. store.steampowered.com/app/2434830/...

Stash Mayhem - Dev popped into my chat and politely asked me to check it out. Note, AI Disclosure is involved, and in a way that isn't the best (Translations) and I did talk to the dev about it. Interesting idea, rogue-like but managing a shop/package delivery business.

store.steampowered.comStash Mayhem on SteamRun a medieval-fantasy warehouse in this roguelike for 1 to 4 players online. Sort the goods your way while it's calm, survive the rush of impatient customers and upgrade it every night. The only map…

Not for me, but I think the idea is neat, and I like the art. store.steampowered.com/app/4873920/...

store.steampowered.comNever Sort By Color on SteamSomewhere under that mountain of bricks is your floor. Sort the impossible Pile with a magnet glove, sieves, and part-seeking vision. Fill labeled drawers, pull parts, watch MOC builds snap together…

Never Sort by Color - Tidy Up + Lego. And you can explore the Lego? Yes please. I will lose MANY hours to this. store.steampowered.com/app/4876650/...

Lighthouse of Madness - I really like the idea of this, but the controls and interface need work. Overall, I filled up my inventory and was baffled by it, It seemed to soft lock me. Needs a LOT of accessibility options, but I think the puzzles that I could did before I gave up were fine.

store.steampowered.comEl Paso, Elsewhere 2 on SteamMORE STAKES. MORE GUNS. MORE SLOW-MO. James Savage returns in this sequel to the hit third-person shooter. Escape the Void. Fight creatures pulled from myth, history, and imagination. Save yourself.

El Paso, Elsewhere 2 - An interesting idea, I never played the first, I really did like the vibe, but the combat didn't grip me. It didn't feel like I wanted. Still, I like the Dev's work, so I will keep an eye on this. store.steampowered.com/app/3642020/...

store.steampowered.comTyto on SteamTake flight and glide through a breathtaking world in Tyto, a gliding-based metroidvania, where you play as a lost owlet searching for its family in a vast and perilous world.

Tyto - I really liked this one. Owl-based Metroidvania with flight based powers. The art and animation is really nice. It does invite the comparison with Ori for multiple reasons, and I think it stands up while being different. I plan to stream this. store.steampowered.com/app/3579340/...

King's Quest (2015) - store.steampowered.com/app/345390/K... This was a lot of fun. I ended up splitting up its 5 chapters between different games. Overall, it was a really great experience.

I had a great time with this and would recommend it to others. First chapter is free, and if you like it, give the rest a go. Individual chapter's puzzles vary in difficulty, but the story stays good. Really good experience overall, and I'm glad I played this.

I streamed it in 18 hours (broken up across this whole year it looks like).

King's Quest (2015) - store.steampowered.com/app/345390/K... This was a lot of fun. I ended up splitting up its 5 chapters between different games. Overall, it was a really great experience.

Really great art and visuals, voice acting by major stars (Christopher Lloyd is the Narrator), good puzzles, really good story. The story is really well written, and touches on a leaving a legacy in a way I really liked. I teared up a bit during parts.

Bad Magpie - Strong Untitled Goose Game Energy, but as a magpie. Lots of exploring and completing small tasks to unlock stuff. Not sure its for me, but worth looking at. store.steampowered.com/app/4278970/...

Sil and the Fading World - As a player of MMOs, I was curious with the idea, and honestly, it works. It doesn't WoW me, nor do I think its the final fantasy, but the combat was fun enought that I think I'll waste time with it depending on the price. store.steampowered.com/app/3054550/...

Q.U.B.E. 10th Anniversary (Not a Demo, just happened to finish this too) store.steampowered.com/app/1564220/... This somehow passed me by originally, thought its definitely my style of game. I enjoyed this game.

The story was interesting and I felt like it was trying to be in conversation with Portal 2. I can't say more without spoiling the story, but you are in a 'test lab' type space again. The puzzle mechanics around the various cubes worked well and I enjoyed myself despite the timing puzzles.

I did not try to do any of the 100% stuff because I think I would not enjoy that. I streamed the main campaign and levels in just over 4 hours.

the 10th anniversary edition remakes the first game using the sequel's engine, and includes the optional 'director's cut' that includes the story.

Whelp, its Steam Fest, and I wasn't paying attention to when it started exactly, so I played a whole bunch of demos today too. However, expect more demo notes coming out over the next days/weeks.

Going Live about 6:30p Eastern www.twitch.tv/mirithd - Q.U.B.E. 10th Anniversary then Demos! Going to finish Q.U.B.E then play some amount of my backlog of puzzles.

store.steampowered.comCONTROL Resonant on SteamExplore a warped Manhattan on the brink of paranatural annihilation in this thrilling action-adventure RPG. Unleash the extraordinary powers of Dylan Faden as he fights for his humanity and our surviv...

Control Resonant (This is a long one) store.steampowered.com/app/3669870/... To preface, I really liked Control. The vibes and the lore of this world, especially around the FBC and the Oldest House, are some of my favorite type of fiction and setting. I also really liked Control Resonant.

I think the bosses epitomized this, where most of the designs were absolutely spot on, but the patterns were easy to figure out and I rarely needed more than one try on a boss, and almost never 2 tries. I only struggled with the first boss.

I beat the story and most of the side quests in 37 hours. I have a lot of complaints here, but its still a big recommend from me, as I think that this would have been my GOTY if it weren't for Big Walk.

The powers were neat but nothing exceptional. They didn't really change my play style. I enjoyed the platforming, but it didn't do anything exceptional either. But again, the vibes, the level design, the art, the look was all exceptional.

I do think the fixed a lot of the problems with the original Control in this, and its probably a better user experience.

It was easy to just find something that works and just do that over and over to defeat enemies, though I think it has the same problem as original Control of being the least interesting at the beginning.

The enemy variety was kinda weak, and I didn't really like the respawn mechanic (also because the combat wasn't the most engaging), though I suppose it was better than original Control where stuff just was always respawning.

At this moment, I can't decide which one I liked more. The story and storytelling were well done, the set pieces looked really cool and well done, and it was fun to play and I enjoyed my time with it a lot. That being said, the gameplay was the weakest part of the game.
