i just wanted to say the game runs pretty amazing IF u force proton compatibility (i always default to proton experimental and it seems to work out) if u don't force compatibility the games performance is meh at best. runs fine most times and theres weird bugs with the lighting and crashed semi often in my experience. if im not mistaken if u force proton it will download the windows version? which is said to be a lot more refined version of the game vs the linux version. i also run a bunch of steam workshop mods and the game still runs great! settings i use personally are High for Shaders,Models, and Textures. Water Detail High , Shadow Detail medium V sync enabled and the rest set to low. just wanted to put this out there cuz i myself didn't know to force compatibility until recently and enjoyment skyrocketed post proton compatibility.

I'm a sucker for 2D roguelites on the Steam Deck, and this game feels right at home.

The game is like a mix between Into The Breach and Slay the Spire, and is perfect for pick up and play in small bites (or longer ones).

Like Into The Breach, you need to think about the sequence you are about to play, how to best defuse enemy attacks or use them to your advantage.

Like Slay the Spire, you pick up new "cards" and can upgrade your existing ones through a run.

You can unlock new characters and new skills/weapons spending a currency earned during each run. A successful run unlocks a more challenging run for each character.

I am about 15 hours in and I can't put it down. Each successful run is about 1 hour so I have a few under my belt.

The game right now sits at 15€, got it during the summer sale at 7,50€. Don't know yet if it's worth it at full price (I expect it is), but for half-price I don't regret it one bit !

If you like this kind of game, I can't recommend it enough.

When I look for suggestions and visit "what are you playing" discussions, its usually older games and its hard to find newer gems for SD.

What have you played (2025 release) this year that’s been worth it?

Feel free to mention:

– Why it’s great on the Deck

– Any tweaks/settings you used

– Whether it’s Verified or Playable

I feel like 2024 was a better year for SD games but I might be missing some.

The only game I played (partially) on SD that came out this year is:

Expedition 33 (Playable)

Looks great on the deck, turn based combat makes it even better for SD. 30-40 fps in the map and during combat, 50+ during exploration.

Not that it isn't also supreme for retroactively devouring all those big games I passed up because I had a... lackluster rig, and that's putting it lightly.

I spend most of my work days glued to the big screen anyway, so finally getting all cushioned up in my home with a handheld has become the definition of a relaxing time for me. I still game heavily on my PC, but using it as my workstation too has, of late, blurred the line between work time and fun time. Something I'm really trying to avoid, lest my love of gaming crumble just due to sheer unrelenting screen exposure. And it's also why I play on PC usually while I'm working, if I have the downtime for it. Or if it's something I'm going in with intent (rarer and rarer these days, I'm sorry to say)... Last one that really gripped me for more than 50h was Clair Obscure, and I even switched my Rogue Trader playthrough onto the deck.

However, the main I joy I'm finding in the deck these days is in trying out and actually finishing shorter "experience" games. The kind you can do in an evening or a night... or morning, if it so happens that I need to burn that midnight oil at work. Don't know what it is exactly, but it's like the compactness of the Deck lends itself really well to the "compact" and short nature of these games. Here's some that I more or less devoured the last month in these one-off sessions, usually pretty high on my pillows

• Milk inside a bag of milk - the one that got me into this habit of playing shorter games like this. It's basically a simulator of everyday existential horror with the twist of you being the meta-voice influencing (or not) the heroine. Sad, sad story, and it's why I remember it so well
• Ctrl Alt Deal - A real amalgamation of different genres that come together quite nicely. At core, it's an escape room simulator with branching paths depending on how you play your cards and some light social management mechanics (mainly so you can better know the people you want to trick). Finished it just the one time, but might replay again for the different endings
• Iron Lung - A horror treat, all suspense, with almost no filler content. If it dragged on further, it wouldn't be quite the same or as memorable. The claustrophobic element of the whole experience carries over well to the deck too, if you're stuffed in by pillows like I am
• Gris - Easily one of the most gutwrenchingly beautiful games I played and glad it was on the Deck. Took me no more than 2 and something hours to beat it, yet in my mind it still feels like I spent the whole night on it

There's others besides but these are just some bits of examples from unrelated genres that stayed in my memory.

It's more the compactness of the experiences that matters and these just work so goddamn well on the deck - like one extremely drawn-out moment from booting up the Deck to setting it down and falling asleep. But a moment that stays with you, that's what these "one-off" games have begun to feel on the deck (when I'm not just slapping away at Rogue Trader throughout the night, lol)
