It depend on your friend, some videos are fun and super high paced, others slow and full of technical explanations, with many in between.

The trailer is nice no ? You'd prefer something more exciting ? showing more the combat ? the large scale building ? the trains ? the fun and careless gameplay ?

This.
The 2014 trailer contributed to trigger my initial purchase. It has been updated a couple times, here is the last version from 2020 :

A free demo is the best advertisement a game can have.

The demo will get him hooked for sure, only thing is that after that the game itself can be a dissapointment because it does not have any extra 'story' missions like in the demo.
