Time-Limited Demo for ‘Dead Space’ Remake Available Now on Steam Until May 29
Still haven’t jumped into EA and Motive’s Dead Space remake? EA has a solution for that: a new time-limited demo for the Steam version of Dead Space that you can play right now.
Taking a similar approach to Capcom’s demo for the Resident Evil 2 remake, the Dead Space demo will only give you 90 minutes of playtime. On top of that, the demo will only be available from now until May 29th. The Dead Space demo is actually the first in a new feature that Steam is rolling out, where developers and publishers can offer limited-time free trials for their games.
In some ways, this new model benefits the developer, since before this, Steam would offer free weekends for games, where players could conceivably power through them in a weekend without having to buy it. This new model entices players to buy the game once their trial is up. Of course, it also helps that the Steam version of Dead Space has a 20% discount from now until May 29, so you see how this works.
The Dead Space remake is also available on the Epic Games Store for PC, as well as the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series. And just in case you missed it, check out Reyna’s review of the remake. And if you’re keen for a second opinion, Jay and Neil offered up their two cents on the Safe Room Podcast.

‘Dying Light 2’ Receives New Difficulty Mode and More With “Nightmare Mode” Update [Trailer]
Not to be outdone by Dead Island 2‘s recent expansion, Techland has announced that Dying Light 2 is getting an update of it’s own with the much-requested Nightmare Mode, which adds “the hardest and most immersive difficulty yet” to the game, along with an array of additional elements.
Nightmare Mode for Dying Light 2 forces players to rely on tactics and strategic management of resources in order to survive. The new difficulty introduces changes to stamina management, called the Tactical Stamina system, limited HUD options for better immersion, and a flickering flashlight that goes out when used for too long. These and other additions aim to heighten the atmosphere give the overall experience a needed refresh for veteran players. Those who manage to complete the game on this highest difficulty will be rewarded with the memorable Waltz Outfit.
The Nightmare Mode Update adds more than just the new difficulty. New adjustments to the Infected and night experience are also part of the update. What’s more, co-op players will be glad to hear they will now be able to take on the Community Maps with up to three friends. Archers will get reworked power shot mechanics. And you even have the opportunity to change the appearance of the Grappling Hook.
Dying Light 2 is available for PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series, Xbox One, and PC via Steam and Epic Games Store.
