If you've been on the hunt for a new game to play, then my friend, your problem is solved—at least for a week. Because this is the week of the Steam Next Fest, the week-long extravaganza of way more game demos than any single person could get through in seven short days.

You probably know the drill by now, but if you're just dipping your feet into the great, warm ocean that is PC gaming, it's simple: Every so often, Steam puts the spotlight on upcoming games by giving players seven days to power through about a million game demos ("hundreds," Steam says, but it always feels like a lot more than that).
