    PalWorld being number 2 is pretty impressive considering it only came out on the 19th. I suppose the huge number of players would make up for the relatively limited time.

      I’ve been playing Soulstone Survivors again, recently. They’ve added a lot of great stuff with updates since I last played. Lots of “Bullet Heaven” (?) games beyond Vampire Survivors to enjoy!

      (Is that what we’re calling this genre, btw? It doesn’t make much sense, imho, so I hope we have a better name.)

        I don’t know, if I had to guess it’s probably the return to world campaign.

        With the announcement of the next monster hunter game, which is being made by the same team as world (so likely it’s going to be very similar to world) Capcom started advertising world again and that shot it up to daily peaks of ~160K concurrent players for a while.

        I agree. I noticed in the U.S. World has a very large base of the realism crowd that got brought in because of the Sony/MS console release. I like both aesthetics, but I also value a gameplay loop I enjoy - Rise reminds me of old MH and World gameplay is just a tad tedious at the endgame for me.

        There’s also a pretty large modding scene for World, although I don’t know how that fares for the Steam Deck. I will say though, both Rise and World run really well, Rise obviously just a little smoother but not to say that World runs poorly by any means.

        I’d be interested in seeing how many of the players were new, returning, or been playing all along

    I’m glad to see Dave the Diver up there. It’s been my comfort food for a few weeks now, and it’s easy to pick up and play for a few minutes at a time. Perfect for the Deck imo.

    I see Diablo 4 is still on the list. I haven’t played since season 1. I bought it from blizzard but I’m on Linux now so I was thinking about getting it on steam. Is there any way to get around buying it again in the steam store? I imagine I’d still have to connect my old account.

    How does Hogwarts Legacy run on the Steam Deck? With a GTX 2060 and FX-8350 I am unable to get good frame rates, even on the lowest settings

    Stardew Valley is creeping up on being my most played Steam game of all time. Entirely on Deck. I am starting to loathe it a bit now though. I’m very late game, and it’s super grindy. It’s just so chill though, I have trouble putting it down. I love me some brain rattling difficult Souls games, but Stardew Valley just lets me completely zone out. I also get something close to seven hours of battery with it unlike anything demanding that kills it in 2 or 3.

    Sorry guys that a Binding of Isaac placement is definitely me. I decided to finally beat all the bosses with every character and probably spent the whole month playing that game to do so.
