Vampire Survivors is free for today only if you're one of the weirdos who doesn't already own it.

I didn't play a lot of Steam games last year, Diablo IV was probably my most played game since I kept going back to it between other games.. but on Steam my top games were Horizon Zero Dawn and Powerwash Simulator.

Please tell me it’s more than sneaking around whacking guys on the back of the head? About an hour in and that’s all it’s been so far.

The Secret Level Space Marine episode was pretty sweet. 10/10.

It’s like a PvP TABS with QWOP controls. I could barely do anything but it has potential.

It's the new high water mark for video games based on movie franchises by a longshot. In fact that the story alone is better than all the movies save for Raiders and the Last Crusade. I can't remember such a large open world style game that had such little in the way of gun or combat violence as most of the time you are just knocking guys out via fisticuffs if required. I'm 3/4 into it and have used a gun just once and there's just something about this game that ropes you into the Indiana Jones universe and makes you feel part of the game like few other games have ever accomplished. Such an amazing accomplishment and easily the best game I have played this year and an all-time great game to me as I can't say enough good things about it as it's so good that it actually led to me watching a few of the Indiana Jones movies over the holidays.

I really want to pull the trigger on it but I've already spent so much and the price was the same before the sale started. I've added it to my cart so many times.
Circling back on this. So much good stuff in that bundle. Perfect set up for (all of?) 2025 lol.

Indiana Jones looks pretty good but (like most) will wait for the PS5 version…

Yes, but it works really well for the type of game it is. If you liked Dishonored, then this will feel pretty similar.

Thats foolish, everyone knows PC is far superior in every way. Take Path of Exile 2 for example, My game loads really slow and crashes multiple times and I spent countless hours trying to find a root cause like many others while my friend on PS5 has to play with no issues on slightly reduced graphics, why would anyone subject themselves to console gaming. Or Assassins Creed Odyssey which stopped working properly since Windows 24H2 but works fine on Consoles. Silly console players, PC Masterrace!!

Even my Steam Deck bugs me sometimes with being nit picky on games, I dunno how PC guys do it full time lol.

It is pretty funny. I'm not a gamer and haven't been one in like 25 years. But my oldest is really into games and is way too advanced at minecraft for his age.

So I decided to upgrade my 10tj gen intel system with a used i7 and a dedicated graphics card to open up the option to game a little. Plus I already have an nvidia sheild pro so I wanted to set up remote play, so I hardwired 80 percent of our wifi house. I also needed some controllers for everything, so that was an upgrade/purchase as well. Then I bought a bunch of games off steam.

All in after upgrading a 10th gen intel system that is already outdated, I could have just bought a console and a few games.

Oh well.

Only time it bugs me is if I'm on a plane or somewhere with no internet and I try to access an EA title or something. #### EA.

But yeah, since I finished building it and installed Windows in 2022 (I tried running Linux for a while and it was OK but for obvious reasons more finicky), I have literally never had a single issue with any game on my desktop that took longer than 2 minutes to fix... Meanwhile I basically do not use my PS5.

Different strokes.

I have an inherent dislike for any first person gaming on consoles.

It is available on PC. It's an adventure game not a shooter so if it's a joystick vs mouse thing it's not really much of an issue as the platforming is pretty forgiving. Anyone with a remote interest in the Indiana Jones universe should play this game as it really does the franchise justice.
