From Metroidvanias to roguelikes, survival games to strategy games, here are the best things we played during Steam Next Fest

Ultros.

Another Steam Next Fest is over, meaning another collection of indie game demos have vanished into the ether. As ever, with so many options at your fingertips, it can be hard to know what to play, but now that the dust has settled, we've collated our Steam Next Fest coverage to point you towards the games we loved that deserve a spot on your wishlist.

I'd be remiss to start anywhere but Dungeonborne, the PvPvE RPG that plays like the second coming of extraction fantasy frontrunner Dark and Darker. Throughout the week, Dungeonborne's presence at the top of pretty much every Next Fest chart spoke to its ability to successfully fill the gap in the market left by its progenitor's continuing absence from Steam. Easily the breakout hit of this festival, it'll be interesting to see if it can maintain that hot streak into a full release in a notoriously tricky genre.
