This is narrative-heavy, straightforward game that's wonderfully presented. The setting is superbly illustrated, the story is well told, and the characters are great.

Definitely a worthwhile experience.

[bouzebbal]

Lol an article to say that a demo is free??

[SyntheticForm]

The game is worthy of praise in any case.

Better to talk about its merits than get worked up over a misleading headline.

[Sarevok]

I disagree.
The characters were annoying.

[SyntheticForm]

I personally found them to be endearing. They were all well acted/voiced and I thought most of them to be essential. People from varying social classes with varying skills.

Without the characters being as well written and acted as they were, I definitely wouldn't have enjoyed the game as much.

But, you're entitled to your opinion.

[Sarevok]

I feel like it's my duty to steer you to games with REAL likeable and endearing characters.
Try
Kingdom Come Deliverance, Baldur's Gate Saga, Planescape Torment, Pillares of Eternity.
just to name a few.
Now you too can Have ungodly high high standards like me.

[SyntheticForm]

Thanks bro.

I already feel a tingle.

[NarutoFox]

A free trial. Not a free game.

[robtion]

Indeed.

Despite that, Focus Home Interactive have become one of my favourite smaller publishers. Blood Bowl 2, the Styx games, Vampyr, A plague tale, Greedfall, The Surge (with number 2 incoming). Lots of fun to be had.

nice clickbait title twinfinite. The entire game isn't free. ITS A FREE TRIAL

[Abnor_Mal]

Headline almost caught me, started to think they were giving away the game for free, but it's only the demo for the game.

Daily Express does the same kind of click bait titles about Sony giving away a free game, only to find out it's a demo.

[Inzo]

The game isnt free, its a demo. Top notch journalism there.

[alexgibson]

I can't update the n4g headline once approved folks, but it has been changed on the site. A message has been sent to the admins. Apologies to all.

[Neonridr]

since when were demos not free?

[alexgibson]

The headline has been amended on the site, as mentioned above. But there are instances where trials are not free --for example, as part of a subscription package, such as EA Access, which is why "free" is mentioned.

[Neonridr]

fair enough.

[bangoskank]

I've been interested in this for a while but too many other games overshadowed it. Will definitely play the trial.

[annoyedgamer]

Very good call. Demos sell games.

[IamTylerDurden1]

Hopefully the sale is also on console.

[Bleucrunch]

Well this looks VERY interesting, I can feel the emotions from the game and that story looks damn good.
