"Let's Play Some Demos!" Video Series YouTube Playlist

Welcome to Part 3 of the Let's Play Some Demos! | LPSD series!
In sum, these videos and streams aim to introduce gamers to, usually, Indie games!
This time, I looked through my Steam Wishlist to see who had demos available.

For those who are new, the purpose of this video series is to provide commentary and feedback on the games for educational purposes.

Today, I played demos for 4 games:

1. TEKKEN 8
   Get ready for the next chapter in the legendary fighting game franchise, TEKKEN 8.
2. Spiritfarer: Farewell Edition
   Spiritfarer® is a cozy management game about dying. As ferrymaster to the deceased, build a boat to explore the world, care for your spirit friends, and release them into the afterlife. The Spiritfarer Farewell Edition includes the heartwarming base game and three major content updates.
3. Secrets of Grindea
   Secrets of Grindea is an old-school Action RPG with co-op support for up to 4 players. Journey through fantastical lands and battle tons of different enemies and bosses in your quest for truth, friendship and, above all, finding the world’s rarest treasures!
4. Forspoken
   Forspoken follows the journey of Frey, a young New Yorker transported to the beautiful and cruel land of Athia. In search of a way home, Frey must use her newfound magical abilities to traverse sprawling landscapes and battle monstrous creatures.

All links above are to the games' Steam pages.

The verdict?

Forspoken was removed from my wishlist; right when I was starting to get the hang of everything, I started getting DIZZY, then came the painful headache. I couldn't finish the demo, sadly. Beautiful game, and interesting mechanically, but I can't play it.

My favorite one was Spiritfarer, almost, any game with fishing in it I'm going to love, and the houseboat was so damn cute! Tekken 8, despite my getting my ass kicked, being second, due to nostalgia; and Secrets of Grindea was third due to some confusing choices made with their skill tree and inventory system. The fishing didn't save it. The puzzles didn't help it either.

And that's it for Part 3! Thank you for reading!
