Ahead of the Stellar Blade PC release, its Steam Next Fest demo was dominating the charts. Its launch earlier this week might have kicked it off the list of the biggest demos, but with the free version of the game still available, I decided it was time to see what all the fuss was about.
Stellar Blade's PC demo is a free version that leads up to the end of the first major bossfight. There's an intro cutscene, a brief tutorial, and some exploration that lets you start to get to grips with the game's extensive upgrade tree, and for a game of this size that's dropping its PC port in the same week as Next Fest, it's a relatively chunky demo. After that first boss fight, there's even a second battle that you're thrown into, a few hours into the rest of the game.
