It’s always nice when we can check out a video game for free before splashing our hard-earned cash, especially when it can drastically reduce the chances of us wasting our money regardless of our platform of choice.
The days of the physical demo disc were phased out many years ago but now we’re in the ever-evolving digital game, platforms such as the Nintendo eShop have a plethora of free games that we can play in a near instant.
Check out the Metroid Dread trailer below!
