A demo of Yars Rising is available on Steam. I checked it out this morning. My feeling is that this will be the most divisive Atari re-imagining yet.

Have you played the demo yet? What are your thoughts?

Well, no one said that the demo was for a limited time only, so I only got a chance to play for a few minutes.  Now I have to pre-order the game to continue to play the demo, but I already bought a game off Steam and I'm not gonna pay to be Wayforward's beta tester so off my hard drive it goes...

Gameplay is ok I suppose but you can tell they made this game for teenage girls, or what game developers think girls talk like with insipid dialog that's suppose to be funny but isn't.  Turning off the voices would be great!

I don't use Steam and I believe that is the only place to get the demo.  But I've watched genXgrownup's livestream and some other videos of it.  I'm a big Yars fan but I'm not feeling it for this one, I've had very mixed feelings about all the re-imagined stuff so far.
