Released to backers last year, The Marble Nest is now available through Steam and functions as “a mood-piece, created to acquaint you with the world of Pathologic. Strategy not your style? Check out the demo/teaser for Ice Pick’s upcoming Pathologic remake. I can’t imagine who needs to demo a Civilization game in 2017 to know if it’s up their alley, but nevertheless it’s there, and you can play the first 60 turns to see if you’d like to buy turns 61 through infinity. This other game probably doesn’t have that issue: Civilization VI now has a demo on Steam. I wouldn’t be surprised if the game’s sales are a bit sluggish, so it makes sense for Microsoft to try and snag players. Recently released RTS Halo Wars 2 now has a try-it-out option on the Windows 10 Store, featuring the opening campaign mission (it’s pretty short) and the Blitz Firefight mode that also showed up in the beta earlier this year. It’s the Return of the Demo this week-specifically, strategy game demos.
