Lots of F2P titles making a lot of money, and GTA still selling tons of Shark Cards as usual.

Sons of the Forest really surprised me as one of the Top Sellers. There were lots of players the week it was released in Early Access and people were talking about the game, but then I barely heard anything about the game. It seems the game also doesn't have any DLC or in-game purchases right now, so it's all game sales, which is pretty impressive.

Surprised to see New World in there, I'd thought it had imploded

I love the REmakes but am waiting for RE4 to drop below $20. I did, however, get a steam gift card for Christmas and picked up The Outlast Trials, and it's good and terrifying.

I'm not really into Horror games. I played the RE2 Remake and RE7 years ago and liked them, which made me also get the RE3 Remake and Village, but I've yet to play them.

I feel the same. Something about having agency in the game has never really made them scary for me, but I guess horror movies don't do it for me either so I guess it's just not my thing. I loved RE4, though; horror aside it's such a good game.

It is really interesting to see so many paradox titles ranking so highly given how niche a lot of their games were even 10 years ago.

It's all those DLC. You don't just stop buying them, after you're already 20 DLC deep.
