High Spirits (PC) (Demo)

20250417:
Taking a short break from Path of Exile 2, I took a look through the demos in my library and decided to try this one.
Setup:
Keyboard and mouse

Steam Game Time: 36 minutes

---

First Impressions:
The pacing of the demo was slow. It took a while before getting to the first battle, which was overly simple. Eventually the game added the potion mechanic, but it felt underwhelming. In short, the fighting mechanic lacked impact and fun.

I was also not interested in the game's story. The protagonist falls under the archetype of nice guy underachiever. It is a common enough archetype, but somehow the delivery just didn't sustain my interest. As for the sentient staff, I found its dialogue annoying.

Overall, I didn't experience a reason to play this game.

Demo Rating: 1.0 out of 5
