Steam has reopened its weekend demo counter and placed five games on it.
Dead by Daylight offers asymmetric horror for everyone who enjoys running across maps screaming while a masked problem distributes bad moods. Stellaris brings the full hellscape of space diplomacy to the table - ideal if you only meant to look briefly and find yourself debating galactic ethics three hours later.
Two Point Museum lets you build and manage museums whose exhibits may be better organized than your real life. MechWarrior 5: Mercenaries provides huge war machines, explosions, and the pleasant fantasy of solving problems with rockets.
Finally, Speedball is a futuristic arena sport with contact, speed, and the energy of football after somebody set the rulebook on fire.
Swetch verdict: these are not permanent claims, but they are five free Steam test drives. Hard to argue with that.
