20 Minutes Till Dawn is Vampire Survivors with guns you manually aim, fire, and reload. That repetitive tedium breeds tense moments when you’re trying to blow a hole through some demonic trees but haven’t lined up the shot quickly enough or are a couple slugs shy of the finishing blow. It was great when we wrote about it in Early Access and it’s even better now that it’s out with a 1.0 release as of June 8. There are even more weapon variants now, a host of balance changes, and a Watering Gun you can use to power-up a flower that will loyally eviscerate every nearby enemy. It’s still my favorite of the Vampire Survivors-likes. — Ethan Gach
