The last "Good" Demo I've seen and I can't even call it good since it's rooted in this frustrating trend I've seen for a few other games in the form of timed demos was 'We Happy Few.' I guess it achieved it's goal in making me want to cop (I will) but the fact that it was timed and featured what I can only assume is a design mechanism that stopped me from moving forward in the game rather than just plain out ending it for me (Was stuck in the basement and couldn't get out and I'm willing to attribute that to me simply not knowing what to do, but I call shenanigans) and having me waste up my precious 'time' just irritated the fukk out of me.
I thought this timed/limited demo was a Nintendo thing, but I've seen it in that winter survival game as well too, The Long Dark and the shyt's annoying, but I guess that's the wave now since everyone just jumps on the 'Beta' or whatever.
