Pokopia is fantastic and the sales are well-deserved. I've put around 20 hours into the game and feel like I've barely scratched the surface.

@BeefCatStudios As you said, it's a very unique concept. I described it to a friend as a combination of The Witness, Gone Home, and the board game Betrayal at House on the Hill. The game is incredibly clever and incredibly deep.

I put dozens of hours into this game on Steam. It's a superb puzzle game and really made me feel like a genius every time I cracked one of the game's many mysteries.

@Chimaj I hope you enjoy it! The building is really fun and goal-oriented so far in my experience. I'm a few hours in and there is plenty to do. Building, crafting, improving Pokemon habitats, exploring, collecting new objects and recipes, etc.

I bought it digitally earlier this week and finally had time to start playing this morning. So far I am loving it! The game is full of charm and new content and abilities are unlocked at a good pace. Even early on it feels like there is plenty to do.

It reminds me a lot of Viva Pinata, which I loved back in the day.

Blue Prince is an absolutely brilliant game. I had a great time with it last year on PC. A few friends played through it at the same time as me, and it was fun to compare progress.

I love that feeling of "aha!" you get with a good puzzle game, and Blue Prince has it in spades. The experience will stick with me for a long time.

Edit - Removed what could be considered a small spoiler. Anyone who enjoys puzzles and mysteries should play this game!

Great to see such positive reviews. I'm really excited for this one! Going to get it preloaded tonight.

@larryisaman Anyone concerned about running the game at the highest native resolution possible should be playing it on a top of the line PC. Switch 2 is drawing a fraction of the wattage so no one should be surprised. The results here are incredible considering the hardware and power draw. My computer draws over 800 watts at peak load for crying out loud. 😂

Stardew Valley is a fantastic game. Kudos to Barone for 10 years of support! He's living the indie developer dream. Well deserved.

@SBandy1 I had to look up the term W.U.M. It applies to a few people who post here regularly. I made an account after several years of lurking in part so I could make use of the ignore feature for the worst offenders. I genuinely don't understand why anyone would spend time on a forum for a product or company they don't like, let alone do so for hours every single day.

Anyway, back on topic, Capcom has done some seriously impressive work with this port. Kudos! The game looks great and I loved the original Resident Evil and Code: Veronica, but I'm a huge chicken and probably won't be playing this anytime soon.

The many glowing previews and watching more game footage has turned Pokopia into one of my most anticipated releases of the year. I can't wait to play it! This is the kind of game that will easily give me 100+ hours of enjoyment.

I'm picking up LeafGreen and my spouse is picking up FireRed. We're excited to play through these and trade together as we have with other Pokemon releases.

As for the price, we had lunch yesterday at a fast-casual place and the bill was over $40. Paying $20 each for two games that we will enjoy for dozens of hours is just not a big deal.

Agreed! Adding eShop and Steam data would make for a very different chart.

These sales charts would be a lot more interesting and look very different if Steam sales data was included.

For example, Mewgenics is currently the #3 seller on Steam behind Counter Strike 2 (which is free to play) and Resident Evil Requiem, but Mewgenics will not appear in the February "U.S. Sales Charts" despite selling well over a million copies, because Steam sales aren't included. Claiming to include PC sales data while ignoring the biggest sales platform on PC is kind of strange, so I take these charts with a truckload of salt. They're still interesting to look at, but not really indicative of the wider gaming market.
