Steam Next Fest is going on until March 3rd, and I’ve spent a considerable amount of time wading through a seemingly endless carousel of games, filling up my Steam Deck’s internal and external memory looking for the Good Shit™. I’ve landed on four standout game demos that are worth your time now and whenever their full games release.

Sometimes during Steam Next Fest I enter a sort of fugue state where I download like a hundred game demos and go to town. I give them fifteen minutes to grab me. If they do, they get 15 more minutes.

Steam Next Fest is upon us once again, bringing with it a veritable barrage of demos for you to sample. But with thousands of demos available, which ones are worth your time, bearing in mind that a lot of them will disappear next week? We've trawled through tons of demos to make a list of the 10 very best demos for you to try out.
