I've only gotten through a few, myself. House Flipper 2 seemed like an interesting iteration on the original (from what I played of that). Not necessarily for me, but I think it'll please those that are looking for that. I played quite a bit more Kingdom Eighties than I expected I would. Having just played the first Kingdom for the first time not too long ago, Eighties had a lot of changes that I was pleased with, and the theme is great. I will say that making an army of young children is...a bit iffy, hah. Though playing the "big kids" trying to protect their town is pretty nice.

Still have a The Invincible and Lies of P to check out this weekend, and whatever else seems interesting. Any recommendations for other demos that shouldn't be missed?

Copying my previous comment and also adding some more games to it:

I liked:

  • Viewfinder – a puzzler reminding me of superliminal
  • Let's! Revolution – an interesting mix of minesweeper and a rougelite
  • Sea of Stars – an RPG, with turn-based combat but with traversal similar to CrossCode. Not much of the story is revealed in the demo, but the characters were interesting
  • The Cosmic Wheel Sisterhood – "a narrative experience" (somewhat of a VN with more interactivity) where choices matter. Hard to judge how good it will be based on the demo, but I liked the vibe.

And an honorable mention to a demo that was already available last time:
