Played the Steam demo for Olija this weekend; The teleporting harpoon takes some getting used to, but it's pretty fun. Kaze was the demo I played the most during the last Steam festival, trying to 100% those levels is addicting. Ditto for Smelter demo the festival before that, :D Ooh, Charge Blade hero has a demo as well. Gonna check that one out. Tails of Iron is made by a UK studio, but for some reason really gives me old Soviet cartoon vibes.

I was all over Aeon Drive in it's very early alpha/beta. I've not touched it in weeks, but it was shaping up very nicely. I have no interest in speed running, but I'm planning on picking up the game. The publisher has actually put out a ton of unique, good looking games.

Very off-topic, but I just noticed yesterday that Ancient Cities is actually coming to Steam in early access in a few days. It's looking somewhat less ambitious than the Kickstarter trailer from 2017, and perhaps won't add much that isn't already in Dawn of Man, but heck, it's amazing they've held on as long as they have. I had figured the project was dead.
