Besides the other points already brought up regarding this, 2 hours is just too short. Games like this often have long startup times, long intros, etc... and it’s just not enough to get a good impression of the game. At least with demos you get a good vertical slice preview of what you’re getting into.

Buy it on Steam, play for 2 hours, full refund if unhappy? Trying out games has never been easier these days.

Weren't there some issues with people no longer being able to refund games after doing it too many times?

That said, I’m in full support of pirating first and buying if you continue playing. I probably have hundreds of hours in Skyrim, but it only shows a few hours on Steam because I did exactly that 😋

That's what I did with Hotline Miami. Since then I've bought it 5 times. No regrets I love that game.

I don't buy games full price
