Steam Deck HQLatest Reviews
Death or Treat is a gorgeous game that has some great ideas, but has some trouble with execution both in-game and on the Steam Deck.
Dead by Daylight is an awesome 4v1 game that really invigorated the genre with a great gameplay loop, unique maps, and a great cast of characters to use. Luckily, with a few changes, the game runs beautifully on the Steam Deck.
The Mageseeker: A League of Legends Story is a passable origin story for champion Sylas that might feel weird at a couple turns, but the gameplay definitely makes up for it! And luckily, the game runs wonderfully on the Steam Deck without any chances!
Mr. Sun's Hatbox is a fantastic 2D roguelite game with an amazing mix of gameplay elements that work perfectly together. And with no changes needed for the Steam Deck, this is an easy Best on Deck game that I can happily recommend!
Trinity Fusion is an addicting and great looking 2.5D rogue-lite action-platformer that has some fantastic ideas that work extremely well together. And it runs fantastic on the Steam Deck.
Teslagrad 2 is a gorgeous and enjoyable puzzle game that, even with slight shortcomings, still works extremely well. And it runs fantastic on the Steam Deck without any changes necessary!
Cassette Beasts is a great take on the monster catching/battling genre with some interesting new ideas and refinement of some others. It has a couple very small hiccups on Steam Deck, but these are easy to overlook and I would highly recommend the game on-the-go!
Strayed Lights is a gorgeous game that does something a little different, focusing on dodges and parries instead of attacking, and it is great. It does have some performance issues on Steam Deck, but with the right tweaks, it can be an enjoyable experience.
Afterimage is a beautifully drawn metroidvania with great ways to customize and run through the world. And it needs no tweaks to run well on the Steam Deck, making this a Best on Deck game!
OTXO
OTXO is a gorgeous and visually appealing top-down shooter with a focus on constantly changing guns and roguelite randomization. It runs fantastically on the Steam Deck without changes, making it a Best on Deck game!
Coffee Talk Episode 2: Hibiscus & Butterfly is a fantastic continuation of this relaxing series where you make coffee and get to know the interesting lives of your patrons. And thankfully, the game has no issue running on the Steam Deck!
The game's gorgeous stylized anime look and frenetic-but-gratifying combat come to life on the Steam Deck; there are some minor stability concerns but they do not derail the experience. The game is beautiful and captivating on the Deck!
