Would love to hear peoples experiences with any of the demos out for this Next Fest.

A standout for me is Sea of Stars, and it seems the demo runs perfectly so far!

Let's collect some recommendations here for others to join in

I wrote up some reviews of demos I tried here.

Thanks for the write ups - I'll give En Garde a try!

Edit: I gave it a go and it was fun! The setting is lovely and vibrant, and dodging, parrying and kicking boxes at enemies is awesome.

The Steam Deck performance wasn't great though - I had to turn down a bunch of the settings to get a somewhat stable 50fps. I set the frame rate limit in-game rather than using the SteamOS/Gamescope settings as I've heard the latter introduces some input lag. Unfortunately 40fps wasn't an option in-game, which I would have preferred. Apparently the game will be better optimised for the Deck when it releases though!
