This weekend I bring you a new Mario Party game, a top-down twin-stick shooter, FromSoftware's *other* title (no I don't mean King's Field, no one remembers King's Field), and a spinoff title of a popular RPG franchise!
11 Games we’re excited to try at Steam Next Fest October 2024
This week is the third and final Steam Next Fest of 2024 and, as always, we are excited to try out new game demos.
Mike Morhaime’s Dreamhaven has a potential cozy hit on its hands with Sunderfolk, the cutest freaking Tactical RPG I have ever seen
According to the official Sunderfolk site, the upcoming first outing from former Blizzard head honcho Mike Morhaime's Dreamhaven Studios is intended to be, "a turn-based tactical RPG adventure for one to four players that's tailored for a deeply engaging couch co-op experience." However, it also reminds me a lot of games like Wildermyth and TTRPGs like Pugmire, Wanderhome, or even the tabletop RPG adaptation of the board game ROOT that Magpie Games is working on.
What else to play this weekend that’s not Vessel of Hatred?
This week I bring you four brand new titles; an anime-styled RPG, an anime fighter, a cartoon roguelike card game, and a psychological horror title!

The gameplay basics to know about Dragon Age: Veilguard (so you can spend more time choosing the best hairstyle in the character creator)

What to play this weekend: hunting monsters, solving puzzles, and retro games edition

What do you hope to see at Tokyo Game Show this week?
