Community Student games, freely available on Steam

[Deleted member 113]

In the last few years, Steam has been used as a way for some Universities, and its students, to showcase their games and experiments.
There's a lot of interesting games and prototypes available, for free, on Steam, from all genres you can image, and there's even some co-op games, and VR games.

Now that a lot of people have more time on their hands than ever, I thought I would link to some of the games I could find, to bring some awareness to them.

If you find any other Universities and Schools publishing games on Steam for free (I seem to remember at least a Dutch one, but I'm not finding it at the moment), do let me know.

And, if anyone tries any of the games below, it would be great if you could post your impressions or recommendations.

Here's a list of student games (and a soundtrack DLC) freely available:

There's a lot of fun games to try.
Add them to your account, and you can try them later.

If you want something light, start by checking UNDEFEATED, if you haven't done so already.
It's a superhero game, done by 3 Japanese students.

Most of these are either multiplayer or co-op focused.
