Considering it's published by Activision, I highly doubt it lol. Make sure you download Special K and enable it for Sekiro for that sweet unlocked frame rate.

I gotta give a shout-out to this one. I think it has tremendous potential if the developer keeps adding stuff.

It's a management game with a card collection element that I found incredibly addictive. With over 2,000 cards to collect

Here’s the exciting part: you can use mods to effortlessly transform the entire card collection into themes like Pokémon cards or Dragon Ball Z cards, adding a whole new layer of personalization


This one has over 24000 cards:

 
Are you in Viet Nam? I remember Steam got completely blocked a while ago there, how is it now?
Yeah Im currently still living here. I think it's still officially blocked but all you had to do was change your DNS settings to the google ones and then it works again without needing a VPN. I'm not local, just a foreigner living here but all I can say their cyber/digital government is just plain stupid. As soon as they think something is bad, first reaction: block it. Happened with Behance, a creative portal for photographers etc, something I very much use and need, during world cup somehow some VN people figured out to use the chat system to set up gambling events. So all of a sudden I wake up and my whole portfolio is just gone, blocked and many others. We used VPN to access it but imagine how retarded it is to say to your client " here is my portfolio, btw just use VPN while yo are viewing it" lol. Anyway they reverted that decision so Im sure at some point they will too for Steam as soon as someones pockets get paid. But like I said, in like 12hrs ppl figured out all you had to do was change DNS and you are back on track.

Glad to hear it's easily accessible. Oh you don't need to tell me about censorship in VN, I lived in Sai Gon between 2007 and 2018 and remember having to change my DNS just to go on Facebook in the early days. I also tried to open my own photography company back then but got a refusal straight from the ministry of culture in Ha Noi. Ended up doing what most foreigners do, open the company through a Vietnamese citizen and get a work permit which was huge pain but helped me stay there for many years without having to renew my visa.

I Absolutely love the country though, my wife is Vietnamese and my daughter was born there, we plan to go back there permanently one day. Would do it tomorrow if I could. :)

Bought Uncharted Collection. Hadn't played it since launch on a regular PS4. Man, you really forget how much attention to detail they put into these games. Fun ride at the right price. Never played the expansion.

Also grabs so far:

Ready or Not Home Invasion DLC - man this game is dialed in right now for my tastes. The hard core are kinda mad because the criminals are no longer spec-ops tier 1 operators, but it's a much more my speed in the current state.
Diablo 4 Vessel of Hatred - more Diablo. Works for me. I don't care for the jungle aesthetic as much as the main game. Just more of a good thing so far
RoboCop - a perfect way to experience RoboCop nostalgia. I wish there was less BS between shooting galleries. It's a huge improvement of Terminator which I think is overrated even as a AA sleeper. But this is as good as people said Terminator was. Buy it if you've ever watched a VHS copy of it.

Awesome man :) Yeah actually after 8 years here, I'm leaving VN for good next April. As you said, love the country, people are great, great food but the whole visa/licenses old-school paperwork bureaucracy really had enough. They keep changing the law every 6 months. I wouldn't mind coming back at some point as long as I'm doing remote work, and have nothing to do with their own legal system. Too much hassle :messenger_grinning_sweat:

Bro, i made the mistake of installing Vampire on my mobile phone,...
Dude, it's BY FAR the most I've ever played a mobile game. I own all the DLC and even bought a RAZER controller that turns my phone into an iDeck. In football season I keep games on the TV but put all my focus into Vampire Survivors and SotN on my iDeck.
