Navigating through Steam can unearth some hidden gems, but if you’re keen on saving, trying out games before purchasing is a smart approach.
Luckily, Steam offers several free demos of indie and AAA games to explore. Here are nine recommendations that are definitely worth your time.
Elden Ring: Shadow Of The Erdtree was recently released! Watch the game’s launch trailer below
Let’s start with a quirky option, Meme Mayhem. In this offbeat game, you fling emojis at internet celebrities like in a shoot-em-up. With multiple levels, power-ups, and plenty of references, it’s a blast.
Next on the list is FINAL FANTASY XIV Online, offering a free trial to delve into the massive online world enjoyed by over 30 million players. If you’re a fan of online RPGs and MMOs, this one’s for you.
Then, there’s Dungeon Clawler, a creative twist on dungeon-crawling RPGs where your attacks are determined by a claw machine prize. Don’t worry, this machine isn’t as rigged as the real ones.
Introducing Idle Colony, a game where you control tiny creatures gathering fruit, with the swarm growing over time.
For those seeking a multiplayer experience, give Dark Hours a try. This online horror game lets you team up with three friends to survive either by escaping pursuing demons or hiding till dawn.
A personal oddball favorite, Euro Truck Simulator 2 is a calming simulation game where you build your trucking empire.
Up next is Bopl Battle, a multiplayer couch co-op game where you battle friends in an arena fighter akin to Smash Bros.
Penultimately, we have Aloft, a cooperative sandbox survival game allowing you to soar through the skies with an airship or glider, exploring floating islands.
