Steam Next Fest is in full swing, so now is the perfect time to try out a bunch of demos, including MOTORSLICE, which you may not have heard of until now. While this trial version is quite demanding for our old rig, it's worth noting its rather daring mix of Prince of Persia, Tomb Raider, Mirror's Edge, and Shadow of the Colossus, which, although not yet perfectly tuned, shows real potential. The few combat sequences included have good feedback, and the choice to kill the main character and his enemies with a single well-placed blow adds a welcome tension, as in Ghostrunner. Since death isn't very punitive, as you resume the game just before the confrontation, there's no real frustration in the demo.
Note: The slowdowns are mainly due to Mirillis Action!, but our poor RTX 2080 Ti was put to the test despite playing at 1440p with a significantly reduced resolution scale with TSR.
