SAND: Raiders of Sophie offers excellent Trampler building and exciting battles, but cheaters, punishing progression, repetitive loot, and technical problems leave this Early Access extraction shooter difficult to recommend.
Jake Boyette explains why Enshrouded’s mix of combat, exploration, detailed base building, quests, loot, and RPG progression makes it our Game of the Week #62.
Five standout Steam Next Fest demos from June 2026, covering chaotic shooters, brutal survival, immersive sim horror, and supernatural fishing.
Jake reviews Alruna: End of History, a compact post-apocalyptic Metroidvania from Neckbolt that hides clever puzzles, versatile movement, and surprising depth inside a small package.
SULFUR earns our Game of the Week #56 spotlight because it remembers the most important thing: games should be fun. Perfect Random’s roguelite FPS mixes sharp gunplay, chaotic upgrades, cooking, loot, and risky experimentation into a loop that keeps pulling you back.
Fail Fail Succeed turns repeated failure into the path forward, using clever puzzle design, compact worlds, and strange dreamlike platforming to make every solved room feel earned.
Flock Around turns birdwatching into a relaxed and surprisingly charming collectathon, with strong sound design, simple photo goals, and multiplayer moments that make it shine.

Funi Raccoon Game is a strange, funny, and inventive 3D collectathon packed with weird ideas, strong personality, and memorable level design.
Steam Next Fest 2026 brought no shortage of interesting games, but a few demos stood out well beyond the rest. These are five that left a real mark on me after the event ended.
ShipShaper’s evolving demo already shows real promise as a calm, creative ship-building sandbox. It looks great, feels relaxing, and only needs some placement logic smoothing to become even better.

A calm cast, then something pulls back About Fishing is a fishing-themed murder mystery from The Water Museum. It’s also currently playable via a Steam playtest — and based on my first short session, it already feels like one of those games that looks simple until you notice how many little systems are hiding under…
