Demos are wide spread these days. There's a ton of them for a wide range of games available on steam and the switch store. They've made a big comeback the past few years.

Helped by Steam having regular demo centered events. Which are awesome!

Heck, I just played the demo for Octopath Traveler 2, but this was a self-published demo by the studio. It was enough for me to know this game wasn't for me but I'm thankful I didn't have to buy it and refund it as a result.

Same. But I also played the triangle strategy demo and definitely want to get that eventually, which I wasn't going to do because of Octopath.

Long live the demo
