I played a little bit of this demo today. Then I played a bunch more and finished the demo level with all three available characters.

Really satisfying game. It took a bit to properly understand how to use the fusion/evolution mechanic to its fullest, but at my last run I was freezing the entire front row of enemies half the time while another ball bounced back and forth through all enemies doing AoE damage, all while I was juggling between picking up XP and catching balls so I could shoot them again more quickly.

I messed around with the demo for Stellar Blade last night

Pre-purchase Stellar Blade™ on Steam

Save humanity from extinction in post-apocalyptic action-adventure Stellar Blade™. Experience blistering combat and a twisting storyline as you unravel the mysteries of Earth’s downfall.

It's an action-adventure. Combat was fun and there was even a little exploration (basically, hidden little side paths to a little treasure). I'm not done with the demo yet - I don't know how long it will last. I hope it will be long enough to get a grip on the story.

People are calling it a souls-like, but they seem to call anything a souls-like these days. It's simply another action-adventure game, only with a supermodel protagonist.

We have a 2D Yooka Laylee game but it becomes pretty hard, even for me, so I'm not sure how kid friendly this one is.

We have a 2D Yooka Laylee game but it becomes pretty hard, even for me, so I'm not sure how kid friendly this one is.

That one would no doubt be Yooka Unlikelee for clumsy adults like me! Two of my older brothers when I was young were pretty good with instruments, one drums, the other guitar and piano. I could never move my fingers independently well enough to manage guitar or piano. Then there's timing and rhythm as well. I always imagine those type games throwing a ton of notes at you in varying intervals and having to spread your fingers places they don't want to go. I tried Guitar Hero once on my friend's PS4. Despite his having fairly advanced Muscular Dystrophy, he destroyed me. I'll never live that one down. Being a PC guy, my excuse was I suck with gamepads.

Pokemon/Digimon type of game where you capture monsters and fight with them to make them better. Cool skill effects, not too hard and you can save monsters you find so you can use them on your next run. Tons of other stuff you can do with them, but that is the gist of it. Fight, loot, and skill up.

Aethermancer Demo on Steam

Monster Taming meets Roguelite. Become the Aethermancer and fight alongside mythical creatures. Explore the ever-changing Fractured Ruins, plan your moves in challenging turn-based battles, and watch your Monsters grow stronger from previous lives and defy death!

[Frindis]

Fun and smooth demo that shows promise of a solid full release. You basically spin a slot machine to use your skills and then you upgrade after each boss you kill. Easy to get into, not too hard, and you have a few options on how to play it. Music and sound effects are pretty good and there is a good flow to the game.

Slots & Daggers Demo on Steam

A retro-fantasy roguelike inside a slot machine. Steady your blade - and spin!
