Re: Talking Point: What Makes A Really Good Demo?

Strafe

I really only play through demos of games I’m not keen on. If I’m really excited for a game - and Cereza and the Lost Demon and Resident Evil 4 remake are good examples here - I already know I want to buy it so don’t want to spoil the experience for release day, even if save progress carries over. So I’ll boot them up just to see how they run but I won’t play much of them.

Conversely if it’s a game I’m not sure about I’ll grab the demo and see if it sways me. Sometimes it does and I end up getting it!
