Worst list of all time. If you don’t have the best Steam Deck game on it, its not a real list. Vampire Survivors. Also the most played game on steam deck since its inception, i wonder why...

Vampire Survivors is a dumb, ridiculous game and I love it dearly. It is the best Steam Deck game. Also a contender for game of the year.

The idea that vampire survivers, the super cheap, super low power using, super addictive and replayable steamdeck hit is not on this list seems a crime.

As they say, great minds think alike... although I guess I just, er... forgot to mention that “I’m old” -part! :D

Hmm, personally I see Limbo - and especially that upcoming Planet of Lana - more as an evolution of games like Another World from the 16-bit era. Which was about the time when character animation could be made smoother and more varied with the help of 3D polygons than hand animated 2D-pixels.

So just say African-American then, instead of being a white person on the Internet trying to tell people who does and doesn’t count as black.  I promise that’s never going to end well. 

As a Caucasian, I’ve always found Blanka and Oro to be cool.....I don’t need to identify with a character in a video game to like a character in a video game.....

That’s some wild pearl-clutching going on in that statement.

This is the wrongest take I’ve ever seen on this site, goodness.

Hell, it even undersells black cultures in America lol.

You’re not helping yourself. Just update the article to say “African American” instead of “black”. Unless you want the controversy. Controversy of this nature though.... is probably not the type you want as it’ll probably be stigmatizing.

Hey, Ian. I know you mean well, but this is a really bad take that you are not qualified to make.

So Deejay, Sean, Birdie and Dudley aren’t black because they are Jamaican, Brazilian and British then?

Elena and Laura can CERTAINLY be referred to as Black. The term African American has been passé for some time, outside of corporate circles. One can be from Kenya and be Black. One can be from Brazil and be Black. Blackness transcends one’s nationality, and just as Black Americans have a connection to slavery, so too…

I have to interject my opinion here. Black does not mean African American. It encompasses all of the diaspora. Black American would be more fitting, but limiting Black to one segment is a bad look. Signed, a Black person from Belgium. 

Black =/= African American. If she’s the first African-American or the Black American say that. By your own admission she is in fact not the first black female character and what you apparently are excited for is her the American-ness, represented by her braids and walkman. So to leave that out and then to try to…

Perhaps in the future you should say African American when that’s what youre referring too. Even the link you posted seems to suggest that Black is not only limited to African Americans...

GTF outta here with that! “It’s different” my ass.  If you meant black, say “black”. If you meant African-American, say “African-American”. Words are important, right?

Good thing you wrote that specifically and not just “first playable black woman” to confuse everyone.

There are lots of sets of duplicate “first evers” for gaming, but I have to admit, ignoring Elena takes a special kind of dedication given how much this series leaned into regional and racial stereotypes, specially early on. It’d be like going “this is the first character from India”. It’s not like you have to dig…
