Valheim and Hellish Quart Among Steam's February Bestsellers
We got to know the 20 biggest launches of February on Steam. The list includes Valheim, dominating in recent weeks, Hellish Quart, Persona 5 Strikers and Little Nightmares II.
March is slowly coming to an end, but we return to the previous month. Valve revealed a list of February bestsellers on Steam. Five (or rather, four) free productions with the biggest increase in the number of players were also provided, as well as the common features of each title in the list.
In the second month of 2021 as much as 9 Early Access releases appeared in the Top 20 launches on Steam. No one will be surprised by the presence of Valheim, undoubtedly the biggest phenomenon of recent weeks. This can be seen from the sheer number of reviews, 170 thousand of which have been posted - more than the result of the other nineteen games combined. Among them we can find a variety of productions, both the logic game The Room 4: Old Sins and the strategic game War on the Sea, as well as the roguelike Curse of the Dead Gods and the complete edition of NiOh 2.
The list also includes Hellish Quart, an original fighting game with a focus on realism (which earned it praise from professionals). It is far from the popularity of Persona 5 Strikers, Little Nightmares II or Breathedge, not to mention Valheim. However, we must take into account the niche nature of the game, both in terms of genre and gameplay objectives (forget about analyzing frame data), as well as setting.
