There has been a demo renaissance in the last few years, and we couldn't be happier. Demos have been a part of video game history for a long time, but whether or not they've been good for sales has been up in the air for quite some time. Fortunately, in the last couple weeks we've gotten a Dragon Quest 7: Reimagined and Final Fantasy 7 demo for Switch 2.
There will be a lot of that happening today as a big new event on Steam has a whole host of fantastic retro-inspired first-person shooters on sale for the rest of the week. On September 23, Boomstock 2025 started on Steam. The event celebrates "all boomer shooters and retro-inspired" FPS games and features a ton of new trailers, demos, and of course, a load of games on sale. This includes some genuine bangers, like Dusk, Mullet Madjack, Project Warlock, , and Sulfur.
