Truth be told, I haven't been checking Steam's store for the past 9 days. But I took the couple of hours needed to finish the entire automatic checking thing, so that scenario shouldn't happen again. But couple that with not having much variety in the games I've been playing for, gosh, perhaps a month now, and you get the same effect as going to a store on an empty stomach. So I ended up picking 6 games from the store that I'll try.
Starting off with Warcube. It's apparently some super early version, but the graphics and gameplay look simply lovely. Hard to say if it's going to play good, but it certainly looks good both in motion and while still.
Next up, Linelight. I don't normally try these minimalistic puzzle games (also because there's oddly many of them) that Steam's userbase has branded as casual, but this one looks a bit more polished and I've heard about it from other places too.
Now, one simply because it's free, Heavy Metal Machines. Some odd 4v4 combat racing game, but I don't think I'll stick with it for longer than perhaps a couple of hours.
This one I haven't the slightest how to pronounce, but... Rosenkreuzstilette. It, uh, reminds me of Megaman, as much as I've played the latter. Judging from the graphics, I would guess it's >10 years old, but nope, completely fresh.
And continuing in the same vein, because I do like these kinds of games a tad more than most, Alwa's Awakening. I suspect this, as well as the previous one, aren't all too long. At least I hope they aren't. They don't look like they could sustain over a dozen hours of play, and even half of that length would seem to be too much.
And finally a choice-based story-focused game. A House of Many Doors looks like a type of game I haven't played in a while. Not that I'd have a particular liking for choice-based games, but I don't think it's a bad genre either. Mainly hoping to remind myself how those kinds of games play.
