The Steam Next Fest has started for the next 6 days you get to play demo's of unreleased games. What games are you playing or planning to play?

I'm personally interested in

Wizard with a gun: A top down shooter with crafting and co-op.

Rouge Voltage: An automation card battler? Very interesting mix of genres, hopefully the automation is fun.

Rouge Command: A simple looking RTS rougelike.

Yeah I'm much the same lmao. The other thing I struggle with is when your resources get too low and workers start dying/leaving/whatever so that it becomes even harder to get the resources you need! SteamWorld Build avoids this - instead of punishing you for not having resources, instead it just rewards you for having excess resources, so for example the citizens will work faster if you have excess resources but if you don't then they still work at the default speed.

Yeah, that's why I struggle to enjoy games like Civilization. I feel like one bad move on turn 5 may mean defeat, but I'll only find out on move 100.
