    That’s unfortunate. I want to try this game, but I feel like I’m either going to love it, or hate it, and don’t want to waste my money if it’s the latter.

    Any place I can try a demo?

      Weird to see you getting downvoted for a legitimtate question. It’s a shame Demos are not really a thing anymore.

      If you or a friend has a PS5 with a PS Plus Premium subscription, you can trial the game for two hours. Your progress will transfer over if you decide to buy, but that’s as close as you’re going to get to a demo I think.

      On steam you can try for a few hour and get a refund if you don’t like it. Maybe on gog too.

      The only demo is on PS5 if you have a PS+ Premium. I’d suggest watching the first hour or so of a Let’s Play to see what the gameplay is like.

      Nah, it’s expected. BG3 doesn’t fit in a service for 7/10 games.

      Get it on Steam, try it for up for 2 hours, and return it if you don’t like it. That’s possible since years.
