In their words

The highest-weighted reviews that matched.

Truncated to the first few hundred characters as they were in the harvest reports. The weight beside each is one plus the natural log of one plus its helpful votes.

Vinny Vinesauce put it best. "This game is digital crack." The developer knows exactly how to get the dopamine flowing and keep it going. Tons of stuff to unlock. Multiple ways to build a run with a bunch of different characters. The game seems well balanced enough that every cha

God, I both love and hate this game. But, a €12.99 game that gave me 100+ hours of gameplay doesn’t deserve anything less but a thumbs up— but it isn’t all smooth sailing. It runs excellently on the Steam Deck. Anything up to Hazard 4 performs perfectly. At Hazard 5, however, you

The worst aspect of this game is the hundreds of hours you could spend playing all those AAA games you bought on sale to put your PC specs to the test will be spent on this instead, a Potato game that can run on actual Potatoes.

I just saw that I *shamefully* never wrote a review for this! DRG:S has been a go-to joy for me since picking up a Steam Deck. I’m a HUGE fan of survivors-likes, especially Brotato, Nordic Ashes, and of course, Vampire Survivors. I had no experience with the mainline DRG game, an
Deep Rock Galactic: Survivor · 33h playedw 4.6
This and Vampire Survivors are probably the best received bullet hell games on Steam. It makes sense why people like these two games so much, they have definitely helped define this genre and they both offer something different. Where Vampire Survivors is a longer game with much

Simple concept, can play one round at over 30 minutes or you can play continuously for over 4 hours that’s your choice. Playing one it own without the DLC is solid in its own right but the DLC enhances the experience and the crossover strangely make sense. I cannot deny I love this game. It’s one...
Vampire Survivors · 170h playedw 4
The game is fun on my steam deck when I’m travelling. Only big thing to consider before buying is that 70% of the unlockable items are inherently bad and once they are added to the loot pool the game becomes increasingly difficult and I liked that but most people won’t. Progressi

10/10 Pure digital crack. Ridiculously easy to pick up, but impossible to put down. You move a bit, chaos ensues, monsters/enemies everywhere, and suddenly it’s 1am you're 5 hours deep into the game and you’re saying just one more run for the 100th time. Plays great on desktop or the Steam Deck, ...

🧛‍♂️💥🎮 90/100 If you judge a game by its graphics, you might underestimate Vampire Survivors — but that would be a huge mistake. The visuals are simple, sure, but everything else absolutely shines. The gameplay loop is addictive, easy to understand, and keeps you coming back for “just one more ru...

🧛 Vampire Survivors | 👍 Yes, highly recommended | ⏱ 160h+ played 5 of 5 Sigma Queens ;-) === TL;DR === 🧠 A deceptively simple but absurdly addictive arcade survivathon where escalation, RNG, and audiovisual feedback fuse into one of the strongest “one more run” loops in modern gaming. === What th...
