Quite a rather diverse month.

Night reign did great, as everybody expected. Doom also did well, tho I think it hasn't reached the same level of praise the last two games got.

The Precint has also done rather well, but on another level, of course, and I'm happy for them.

And Roadcraft... well, it looks like things have improved revently but boy, people were angry with how poorly it run at launch.



Please excuse my bad English.

Sadly running poorly at launch is the default state for most games these days it seems!

Yeah, but most of that can be split into two categories:

1) Games with UE5. Or, as some call it, Stutter Engine 5, because even Epic has to deal with this problem every now or then after a Fortnite update. It's ridiculous.

2) Studios not listening to its customers. Roadcraft and MH Wilds are examples of this, where a studio has kept releasing games without paying attention to the complains of the gamers, until things got so bad that it hurt the sales of the games.

There isn't much we can do about the first one, only hoping that Epic finally does something about it. And for the second one, well, those companies "lost" money because of it so, hopefully, they've learned their lesson and will do better next time.

Quick question: Is my Steam Wishlist viewable? I tried viewing it from my Macbook but got an error message. So, I just want to make sure. I can see it perfectly fine from my phone.

Yes, I can view it.

I'm going to have to increase the tempo if I want to finish with the top releases until the 20th. Speaking on which, let's take a look at June's.

June


Broken Arrow

PEAK

DELTARUNE

Rune Factory: Guardians of Azuma

Date Everything!

REMATCH

Lies of P: Overture (DLC)

Shadowverse: Worlds Beyond

Revenge on gold diggers

Stellar Blade

Persona5: The Phantom X

Dune: Awakening

A surprise hit in Peak. I think Shadowverse is the most popular game with the worst review score I have seen. I would be very happy if Stellar Blade would ditch Denuvo.

Hello, all! Sorry it took so long, Rhonin was kind enough to remind me of the annual tradition in here, us old PC dogs have to stick together! I think my settings are okay so people can see it, it hasn't been an issue in previous years, at least.

Edit: There are several wishlists I can't see or open - Axumblade, firebush03, Conina, and ST.Tachyon don't work for me. Is anyone else having issues? I imagine this would cause trouble when we get our delegated user to gift games.

Here's my Steam wishlist:
