  • Another one on the books, and another 20 games that'll make you say "oh, that's nice." Check'em out while you still can, because the event is already over and the only thing keeping them alive is the good graces of developers and the obvious free promotion that having a fun demo out in the world provides.

      @@AbbreviatedReviews Give it time. This is definitely subject matter people are interested in, and the quality of your content is exactly what this space needs. There might be ways to game the algorithm but otherwise I think it's only a matter of time before you get a viral video. Just hang in there and know that you are loved.

    Dungeon Clawler was a lot of fun when the demo came out, and they added a lot since.

    • @AbbreviatedReviews
      @AbbreviatedReviews  14 дней назад

      I tried it when it first came along and it was a little clunky but I liked the concept. I'm glad to see the progress they've made on it with this demo.

      I just couldn't get the hang of the controls. It seemed like every time I'd direct a plane it would over or under shoot what it was indicating.

    I appreciate the reviews. I would add Fallen Aces, Mirthwood and The Crush House. There were a few on your list that I missed - will check them out tonight! Just subscribed... I love your rule! Thanks

    • @AbbreviatedReviews
      @AbbreviatedReviews  10 дней назад

      I played the Fallen Aces demo a while ago, though I don't remember if it was in a Next Fest video or not. Of course, the demo was taken down when the game launched, but I do plan on picking it up sometime soon because it's a good time. I've heard some good things about The Crush House though and I might check that one out.

    • @SuperLocrian
      @SuperLocrian 10 дней назад

      @@AbbreviatedReviews I can't believe how much I fell for Crush House (if pressed, I would say 2008 Dead Space is my favorite video game of all time). The end of the demo definitely sets up intriguing things to come. I was shocked when I saw it requires 100 GB. Thanks again!

    If you played all demos why didn't mention Soulitaire, Dungeon & Degenerate Gamblers and Parcel corps that were among the best demos of this fest? 🧐
    Jokes aside once again a good coverage of best games in Steam Next Fest 👍

    • @AbbreviatedReviews
      @AbbreviatedReviews  13 дней назад +1

      I did actually play Parcel Corps and thought it was pretty decent, but about the 30th time I got hit by a car I had to stop playing. I also thought Dungeon & Degenerate Gamblers was great, but it seemed like there were a lot of mechanics and details I needed to dedicate more time to checking out and I was already trying to get this video out. I'm definitely going to check it out down the line though.

    What is the game in your thumbnail with all the F-14s?

    • @AbbreviatedReviews
      @AbbreviatedReviews  10 дней назад +1

      It's from the intro cinematric of G.I. Joe: Wrath of Cobra. Technically they're "Skystrikers," but those were based on F-14s at the time.

  • @Bambeakz
    @Bambeakz 11 дней назад

    Metal Slug demo was really disappointing for me. Loved how it looked but it is more a puzzle than a strategy game

    • @AbbreviatedReviews
      @AbbreviatedReviews  10 дней назад +1

      It definitely takes a bit of a different approach to the formula, but I think it feels more interesting than the standard cover-focused overwatch-heavy design a lot of these tactical games take emulating XCOM. Those are good too, most of the time, but it's good to see some variety.

    • @MadsterV
      @MadsterV 7 дней назад

      more puzzle than strategy? SCORE!
