Over the past two weeks, I have played more than 120 Steam demos for recently released and upcoming games. Here's a thread showcasing some of my favorites in no particular order, with links to their Steam and Bluesky pages (if I could track one down) so you can try them out for yourself:

I put off playing this game for way too long, but it ended up being the perfect way to spend a not-so-scary Halloween night (yes I know I'm posting this in like mid-November, I'm slow, don't judge me).

I just beat My Friendly Neighborhood a few days ago and wanted to mess around with some of the cheats I'd unlocked during my run. Turns out starting a new game with cheats doesn't disable achievements, and accidentally triggering the ending unlocked three achievements in the funniest order possible.

New favorite mall activity: find pop culture stores with a graphic tee display, look for stacks of any shirt with someone's face on them, and fold the top of the stack in such a way that it deletes their nose.

Summoner is the best class in Terraria. You get to spawn a bunch of little goobers to fight for you while you smack enemies from a distance with a whip that annoys every player of the vicinity with the sound it makes. I will not stop playing this class in every run of this game.

Okay so life got in the way and I was VERY late to finishing this write-up, but it's here now. This was at the top of my most anticipated games list ever since I played one of its old demos a few years back, and I'm so glad I finally got to experience the full thing.

This game popped up in my Discovery Queue. I know train games are notorious for their ridiculous pricing and DLC practices that put EA's treatment of The Sims to shame, but having four different editions and over $3,000 in DLC when it's not even out for another month still took me by surprise.

Bilkins' was by far my #1 game of 2023, and is probably one of my favorite puzzle games in general. Clever, charming, criminally underrated, and an absolute steal at this price.
Bilkins' Folly is currently 65% off! (I think it's a good deal 😆)

Sometimes the pursuit of completing games requires me to do terrible, terrible things (this dialogue option was tied to an achievement because @miscatinytale.bsky.social is EVIL).
You'd best believe I reloaded my save file so he could go right back to happy dancing.

Finally made the time to start playing Misc. A Tiny Tale and I just found out that my little guy SQUEAKS when he crouch-walks. This might just be a 10/10 game already.

Huge thanks to @flebpuzzles.bsky.social for the early review copy. My only "complaint" with his last game 20 Small Mazes (which you should also play, it's free) was that I wished I had more puzzles with that same level of creativity, and playing through Strange Jigsaws finally scratched that itch.
