Now that reviews are out forReturnaland it’s receiving great praise, more people than ever are itching to get their hands on it. However, with a $70 price tag, plenty of PS5 owners are potentially skeptical despite the glowing reviews.
It’s only natural that someone might want to try a game out first before preordering or buying it full price. Taking a look at fiascos like the launch ofCyberpunk 2077might help explain why people might be skeptical of games right at launch.
With the growing price tags of AAA games, purchasing something new has become that much more of a risk. Now thatReturnalis coming out tomorrow, people are wanting to see if that risk is worth it.
Is there aReturnaldemo for people to try before taking the $70 plunge?
Is There aReturnalDemo?
Currently, there is noReturnaldemo to speak of. It seems like if you’re wanting to play the game, you’re going to need to buy it outright. It’s not entirely out of the question that developer Housemarque would put up some sort of playable teaser for the game, but that seems incredibly unlikely.
Last month, GamesRadar posted avideo to their YouTube channelnarrated by Housemarque Marketing Director Mikael Haveri that does a deeper dive into what to expect fromReturnalthan some of the other marketing. If you’re still on the fence about buying the game, you can check out the video below.
