⚔️After 317 votes our mammoth poll is NOW CLOSED⚔️

Here are your Top 5! Talisman of Death stole the show by some margin (a big surprise to us tbh!) with Scorpion Swamp and Vault of the Vampire both in the top spot during the first few days, but then falling away.

Some players experienced a bug with the NEON Squad Tactics multiplayer not working on PC in certain regions - we were able to track the cause and have amended the build. Thank you!

Remember too that NST is cross-platform with the Meta Quest version!
