5 Indie games you need to demo during Steam’s February Next Fest

The latest edition of Steam’s Next Fest, a regular event that gives players access to hundreds of free demos, is running from now until March 2. Being able to sample such a large range of games is both exciting, and a little intimidating, given how easy it is to accidentally waste time sorting through the seemingly endless list.

To solve this problem, we’ve piled together five games that stand out from the crowd, either for their innovative gameplay, amazing co-op potential, eye-catching art, or some combo of all three. From sea-faring pirate RPG adventures to turn-based combat to battle the forces of an evil fast food empire, these indie games have a little something for everyone.
