Vanquish

Vanquish slid into StreamerHouse in 2017 with 227 peak viewers, as PlatinumGames' cult classic finally got proper PC love via the May 25 Steam port. Originally a 2010 PS3/Xbox 360 title, Vanquish was director Shinji Mikami's take on sci-fi third-person shooters: fast, stylish, and absolutely insane. The streams showcased the game's signature mechanic—sliding across battlefields in a rocket-powered suit while slowing time and unloading on Russian robots in space colonies. That 227-viewer peak represented a niche audience appreciating Platinum's commitment to pure, refined action gameplay. While Vanquish never achieved mainstream success, it earned devoted fans who praised its tight combat loop and spectacle. The 2017 PC port finally gave the game the performance it deserved, running at 60fps-plus and looking gorgeous—exactly what Platinum's frantic action demanded.
