February 24, 2023. Quite a week for gaming. Quite the month for gaming.

2/21 Like a Dragon: ishin!

And, of course, previously from this month, Hogwarts Legacy with peak concurrent of 879,308 (lower than it could have been since there was a staggered release)

Also, less than a month ago but in January was the Dead Space remake.

Holy crap @ sons of the forest! Has anyone played it? Is it as good as the original?

Apparently there were so many people buying it that it crashed Steam's shopping cart.

I'm hoping to play it this weekend. My son was nuts about The Forest, and I don't want to play without him, or I'd already have played it.

Im thinking of doing the same, my son was talking about it and hes a huge Terraria fan (the only game it says is similar to my library when looking sons of the forest up) so i might be picking up two copies soon.

I'd also like to add that there is a Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty Demo which peaked at 57k (around 10k now) yesterday for those into Dark Souls / Nioh games. The demo is getting a lot of negative feedback though looking at the discussions page on steam. I tried it and its fun to a point. It ran ok for me too but its so Dark Souls-y at the boss i stopped before i got mad lol.
