Demos from Steam's Next Fest?
Steam Next Fest is a week-long celebration featuring hundreds of FREE playable demos as well as developer livestreams and chats. Players try out upcoming games on Steam pre-release, developers gather feedback and build an audience ahead of their Steam launch, everyone wins!
Would love to hear peoples experiences with any of the demos out for this Next Fest.
A standout for me is Sea of Stars, and it seems the demo runs perfectly so far!
Let's collect some recommendations here for others to join in

I wrote up some reviews of demos I tried here.
Thanks for the write ups - I'll give En Garde a try!
Edit: I gave it a go and it was fun! The setting is lovely and vibrant, and dodging, parrying and kicking boxes at enemies is awesome.
The Steam Deck performance wasn't great though - I had to turn down a bunch of the settings to get a somewhat stable 50fps. I set the frame rate limit in-game rather than using the SteamOS/Gamescope settings as I've heard the latter introduces some input lag. Unfortunately 40fps wasn't an option in-game, which I would have preferred. Apparently the game will be better optimised for the Deck when it releases though!
Nice, thanks for sharing -- will be trying some of the ones you mentioned for sure
