Super Mario Odyssey and Wind Waker collide in this expressive Steam Next Fest 3D platformer that's already an early GOTY contender for me

Beebz collects a gear in Demon Tides.

What if an ocean full of islands were all tightly designed platforming areas, sort of like if The Legend of Zelda: Wind Waker had you sailing between levels from Super Mario Odyssey? That's what Demon Tides is all about, except rather than sailing peacefully across the seas you barrel over waves as a spinning snake, and these levels that hide hidden gears can be jumped through using your own customizable move set.

From Fabraz, this is a sequel to Demon Turf that largely does its own thing with a new open level structure and fresh story. The thing Demon Tides does keep, however, is demonic hero Beebz' excellent platforming move set, the foundations of which have been cleverly built upon. On a journey to learn more about her family, her and her hellish crew rock up to an ocean kingdom beset by a strange red coral, an unreachable floating castle chained to the sky. How to get up there? Tearing up these islands with wild jumping tricks, wall runs, and even a bit of graffiti may point in the right direction.
