Sniper Elite 5 is a day-one launch. That´s cool. Played maybe 1 or 2, don't remember. It was clunky and limited but fun, so excited to try what the premise have evolved into three games later!

On one hand, yes.
On the other hand, £2.09 / $2.99 on Steam.

Vampire Survivors on Steam

Mow down thousands of night creatures and survive until dawn! Vampire Survivors is a gothic horror casual game with rogue-lite elements, where your choices can allow you to quickly snowball against the hundreds of monsters that get thrown at you.

So it's not like a MASSIVE get, but it's good. :)

Another meh drop for me. This is the third one in a row. I'm expecting it to be like this until E3. Sigh.

If we don't get Nier Replicant at or before E3 I give up.

That might be a problem, what with E3 being cancelled and all.
The Bethesda / Microsoft Showcase is less than a month away, though.

JWE2 is at least something I was wanting to look at, liked the first one enough. Will check it out here and see if it's worth an actual purchase. Little Witch game looks like it might be interesting but other than that, not much I'm interested in.

Visage on mobile with touch controls has me curious. I'm sure that'll be a fun experience, not stressful at all.

Umurangi Generation is my GOTY from 2020. Truly an unforgettable experience and only gets more and more relevant. Absolutely check it out.
Also Vampire Survivors is so fun, nice to see that added.

Scratching my head at why Knockout City is leaving EA Play... the game is about 1 year old- this is the time it would be ADDED to EA play, not removed. Are they re-launching it as a F2P game or something?

Jurassic world and Sniper Elite coming to PC is pretty awesome.

Was a little bummed about Resi leaving but it has been on there for 2 years so it makes sense
