This is purely vibes based, but the sense I get is that Steam Next Fest, with its onslaught of demos for new games, is increasingly exciting. Steam sales, meanwhile, seem more routine and underwhelming than ever, because there are so many sales all the time.

The deals, they seem substantial, even if my personal excitement for them is dulled by frequency. Even still, 60% off metroidvania Ender Lilies: Quietus Of The Knights might prompt me to give it a go ahead of the release of the sequel.
