Please let me know if any of these aren’t working on the Steam Deck and I will cross them out.

If you like survival games, please give Grounded a shot. It’s a handcrafted map (the backyard) with full voice acting. I could honesty go on about it for hours because it’s still my main game, but don’t write it off because kids and bugs. It is Obsidian quality and plays excellently on the deck.

How is it just playing single player?

I wish the Steam Deck was available in Australia, especially at the current discount.

I had no idea the rollout was still going. That sucks for y’all.

Honestly, we’re probably not going to officially get it, especially after our government sued Valve multiple times over consumer rights, the reason behind the 2hr refund window.

Hey, they should sue Sony for a 2 hour refund window as well…

The refund is a good thing! Still, if I had to choose, I’d rather have the Steam Deck and flash sales.

You can buy them from Kogan. I personally got my 64gb deck pre-owned.

Man, it’s not technically on sale, but it hurts a little to see Hitman Absolution recommended when Hitman 3 exists. Not that absolution is bad, but Hitman 3 is just so much better, both in terms of gameplay, content, and freedom. And you basically get 3 games all remastered, plus a Roguelike mode.

So I guess that’s my recommendation, even if it’s not on sale still worth it lol

I’ll add it, I’m a fan and had just forgot about it.

Edit: Just saw that it isn’t on sale which is very unusual.

Edit2: they’ve also increased the base price.

Yeah, they upped it when they made it “World of Assassination” and rolled in the first 2 games + freelancer. It was a free upgrade for those that already owned it, and still worth it imo at that price, but it is very strange that they don’t even have a small discount for the summer sale

I know I didn’t lose anything, but after waiting an extra year after buying the first two, so I could play in H3 because of the Epic deal, I felt burnt having bought all 3 separately.

If I had finished it a year earlier as planned, it wouldn’t have mattered but the unnecessary extra year wait meant I bought them needlessly.

Throw out a recommendation for Bad North. It’s a small one screen tactics game with super cute visuals and really nice pacing.

I ended up buying Disco Elysium and Into the Breach based on this post. Have been playing Into the Breach now, I really like it so far.
