Standout Steam Next Fest October 2023 Demos From Valve’s List
Taking the coveted number one position is Enshrouded, a fusion of Valheim and Breath of the Wild. Notably, this demo stood out for its remarkable polish and substantial content. Gamers had the opportunity to thoroughly test the game’s building, exploration, and combat mechanics, over an impressive 8-hour experience.
Another title that climbed near the top of the charts, and one that I personally spent a significant amount of time playing, is Deep Rock Galactic: Survivor. This game takes the world and lore of Deep Rock Galactic and cleverly transforms it into a Vampire Survivor-like experience. The demo proved to be a pleasant surprise, delivering an enjoyable gaming experience.
Despite the presence of numerous titles from larger indie studios on the rankings, a standout among the crowd is the smaller team’s creation, Europa. This game offers a captivating exploration experience, distinguished by its striking beauty. Drawing heavy inspiration from Studio Ghibli, Europa boasts a visually enchanting art style, making it one of the more visually appealing options on the list.
