Steam freebie: critically acclaimed 2019 game free to check out right now

There’s a major appetite for gaming demos right now. It used to be the case that you could buy a new release and have faith in its performance. Now? Not so much. We’ve seen a number of major titles released in questionable states as of late.

The Last of UsPart Imay have been released to critical acclaim on PlayStation 5, but it was a very different story for its PC port. It wasso bug-riddenthat players could barely make it past the main menu. Thankfully,a number of patches have improved the gamein recent months but the point is, it never should have been released in that state. It’sCyberpunk 2077all over again. EvenStar WarsJedi Survivorhad bug and frame-rate issues across a number of platforms. Demos provide you with the opportunity to see the game for yourself firsthand before purchase - and Steam users can currently sample the critically-acclaimed 2019 releaseA Plague Tale: Innocence.

A sequel to the game was released last year,A Plague Tale: Requiem, which received equal critical acclaim.
