The most replayable demo in Steam Next Fest is Ghostrunner 2 and it's not even close
Ghostrunner does it again ꦍwith exhilarating, impossible-to-put-down action puzzles

God, Ghostrunner was good. I'd almost forgotten how good until I loaded up the 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Steam Next Fest demo for Ghost𒁃runner 2, which is just Ghostrunner but with a 2 on the end. It's got some new tricks, but it's the same exhilarating first-person action romp under the hood, and I wouldn't have iꦫt any other way.
Act surprised: Ghostrunner 2 absolutely whips. It's one of the 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:best Steam Next Fest demos you can play, and it's hands-down the most replayable trial in the whole event. Even without the hidden collectibles and end-of-run scoring system, I would (and indeed will) happily blast through this demo multiple times just to get my hea💙rt rate up. I'm always looking to squeeze in some easy cardio, and nothing gets the blood pumping like a breakneck sprint through this familiar cyberpunk playground.
Aptly named developer One More Level once again nails the frenetic pacing of puzzle-like encounters where you chain together the most absurd stunts and executions you c𒁃an imagine. You bounce around like a Beyblade in a blender, chucking shurikens, swinging your k✅atana, parrying incoming fire, slowing time, dashing mid-air. It's cyberpunk Doom Eternal by way of Katana Zero. Push a dude back with telekinesis, grapple onto his flailing body, courteously escort him into the afterlife, grapple up a nearby ledge, pop slow motion and chuck a shuriken at a bomb as you fly by to paper the walls with three other dudes. Chef's kiss.
Everything dies in one hit, including you, which gives Ghostrunner and now Ghostrunner 2 a Super Meat Boy-like flow of constant, instantan🥀eous game overs. But checkpoints are so frequent and easily reloaded that it never gets frustrating. Ghostrunner's visual language is phenomenal and the cause of your death is always clear. Die, die, and die again until you figure out the order of operations. Who to kill first and how, which route to take for the parkour, which gizmo you'll need for the puzzles. It's all grist for the mill, mere practice in the pursu🔯it of the perfect run. One more level, indeed. Ghostrunner 2 is out October 26 – on PS5 and Xbox Series X, too – and it's going straight into my veins.
Steam Next Fest is still going strong. Don't skip this intriguing Metroidvania, which is more than just pixel art Hollow Knight.
