Boiling Steam ☛ Steam Next Fest October 2024
This recent Steam Next Fest has had more demos to play than any before, good thing this time they added some filters. Some games are complete and long enough that they deserve their own article. From the 30+ games I played only 2 did not work on Linux, one deliberately threw me a message they do not support Wine, Proton or Steam Deck when I tried to open it. And the other crashed when starting a new game. I played the sequences The Rise of the Golden Idol, Unrailed 2 Back on Track, Streets of Rogue 2 and Commandos: Origins. They have some mechanical improvements over the original, and add much more to the franchises. I also found some fascinating new games, all worked well on GNU/Linux and the demos are still available.
