Those anime merchandise sales are crazy, never even heard of Anpanman
It is like the Japanese version of Bluey or Paw Patrol. It has been very popular for small children in Japan since the 70s.

I hate to sound shallow, but graphics really do matter to me. Sure sometimes I'm in the mood for Pixel art, but I don't know if I'm just old and grumpy, but I won't waste my limited game time on games with flat, ugly textures and soulless level design. The latest Pokemon game is just laughably bad. I stopped playing Atlus' Metaphor because everything was flat, square and uninspired looking.
I'm probably not a great judge of gaming character though, because I'm hitting Blue Protocol pretty hard this week. Love the anime style and I'm actually in a full, active guild for once so it's not a single player game

My wife grew up with it and has a figure of him on her desk. Its "the thing" for young kids from Japan.
Its revenue, but the margin on Star Wars merch is very high. The terminally online love saying its dead, but its still immensely popular with regular people.

Don't want to make a thread but absolum is one of the most addicting game I've played in awhile. Indie games are killing it.

Damn it, why did you post this on Sunday night? Bought and downloaded just now. Played about 15 minutes and really enjoyed it.

I grabbed it at the airport waiting for my flight and got sucked in immediately haha. There's not a lot of depth so I'm sure once I beat it, it won't have the lasting appeal of something like Hades, but it's very good.

Absolum is pretty fun but I got tired of it rather quickly after clearing the game a few times on all the chars. Got like 15hours in it before being done though so pretty reasonable considering the price point and it was enjoyable.
Now checking another small indie game, Necesse.
Basically top down Terraria, with a slight twist of Rimworld sim aspect for your city, it does all the usual Terraria stuff with biomes, gear tiers, 4 "classes" split based on gear and all that but in your city you can recruit more generic NPCs and then have them work for you instead of just standing there doing nothing. Can automate stuff like cutting trees, hunting for food, fishing, cultivating plants for alchemy, shearing sheep and even crafting(like converting base mats into other stuff) or sorting your gear in specific chests. It's nice cause it removes a fair bit of the tedium while still being fun to setup.
I'm still pretty early but liking it a lot, it has a lot of modern Terraria/mods QoL rolled incan drop gear in nearby chests/craft from chests, can look up any recipe ingame directly so you don't need the wiki, can see if and where you're missing drops from with a checklist, has item sets and expanded inventory early etc. Overall pretty high quality, released in 1.0 last week so I got interested. Not sure if it's still on sale but it was like 7euros when I bought it.
