Our general #SteamDeck recommendations for the Steam Summer Sale continues with Metroidvanias, Platformers, Roguelikes, Simulators, and more. Here are part 2 of our Summer Sale general recommendations: steamdeckhq.com/steam-summer...

I watched an episode of @gamesdonequick.com yesterday and I think it was a year old. Elden ring was beaten in 1hour and 10+ minutes. It was so eye opening and shocking to watch. The fights! Wow! Gamers are incredible

Lovely day ticking off visiting two places I’ve never been to despite living so close. Parliament hill and Battersea power station.

Bionic bay has been a lot of fun on the steam deck but the writing is tiny. I have a rough idea about the story but hopefully a patch will make it easier to read on the steam deck #steamdeck #indiegames #bionicbay

My Steam curator page has been updated with the last month of reviews. Give it a follow, and recommendations will pop up if you're browsing one of my picks! store.steampowered.com/curator/4345... Thanks to @dovetail.bsky.social for maintaining it.

Humble's newest bundle contains all the Mafia and BioShock games, incredible games that are all playable on the #SteamDeck: steamdeckhq.com/humble-mafia...

The sort of series that I can’t wait to get in to! Live a comparison

Time for the latest pick of Newly Verified and Playable Steam Deck Games youtu.be/wzHpQCg1NjM

Fear not though, I’m also playing Bionic bay on the steamdeck. The steamdeck is still part of my weekly gaming fix 🎉

I started my play through journal of Zelda: Breath of the wild. I’m struggling but let’s see how it goes. margotplays.substack.com/p/play-throu...

#NextFest is indie game christmas in June (and Feb, and October). I played 17 demos myself, and the listener community played over 50 — here are our Best of the Fest. www.youtube.com/watch?v=zdqX...

I am so showcased out. But let’s try and be excited for one more showcase haha

You know, I find it sad that there are still console wars or such going on. I have seen smaller creators get hate comments for playing Switch 2 on their feeds. I don't understand why. Just live and let live when it comes to gaming. Do discuss what you like or don't like but don't give people hate

I just played twenty minutes of the playformer Bzzzt on the steamdeck. Nice little crazy game. I like that it’s in stages and you can do a handful of challenges and then keep coming back.

Playing with the Nintendo app stamps. A bit gimmicky but I might do it again 😅

Ok I’ve completed BotW tutorial again. That’s basically how far I got before give or take a shrine 😅🤣 let’s see if it sticks this time. #gaming #zelda #switch2

I had all these gaming plans this weekend but I’m still so tired. I’m going to take it easy and just watch a bit of TV. Go for a walk and relax. 💚

Cyberpunk 2077 on Nintendo Switch 2: the Digital Foundry tech review. The base game looks and runs well overall, while The Phantom Liberty presents a more daunting challenge for the new console hybrid: youtu.be/C7fExZx1QyU

Whoop just got mine 🎉💚

Looking forward to this one after work 🎉

I saw this game in Patch magazine and wishlisted it instantly.

Team Cherry clarify Hollow Knight: Silksong will be out before the 2025 holiday season #HollowKnight #Silksong

I don’t have the time at the moment but is anyone in my network interested?

While I’m a Steamdeck fan and now have a switch 2 as a handheld this looks like a nice iteration of the rog ally x. I like the PlayStation portal esque design. Keeping an eye on this.

Did you dress up to collect the switch 2? I dressed as the switch 2. 😆😅🤣 #switch2 #switch2launch #switchmas

Reconnect Recommends: A very important June reminder #gaming #videogames

NEW: Switch 2 launch game Survival Kids uses the system's new GameShare feature to enable 3-player co-op using 1 copy of the game. Receiving systems can be S1s or S2s. My story about a fascinating, little-publicized game...and why Unity is making it (for Konami) www.gamefile.news/p/survival-k...

Humble's Power Up Pride Bundle is a great group of games that should be wonderful to play on the #SteamDeck, like Haven, Echoes of the Plum Grove, and more: steamdeckhq.com/humbles-powe...

My May journal. June might be a bit different as the switch 2 comes out! I shall see.

Death's door on the steam deck is awesome. I love it. Ravens, cute art, lovely atmospheric music. It could be a more accessible Tunic I reckon for people who don't like to guess the story as much as.

I know that consistency and showing up is 75% or more of the battle and for my personal projects I have found a balance. Sometimes at work this gets hard when there is no engagement. It could be so good and vibrant. 😩🙃I know I have to just act as if everything is how I want it to be but it’s hard

New video! Here is my three-year retrospective on the Steam Deck, which I consider to be one of the best gaming purchases I've made over the past decade: youtu.be/NnZzvvqTEwk

There are some great #SteamDeck Verified/Playable games this week, including Fantasy Life i, RoadCraft, and more: steamdeckhq.com/steam-deck-v...

I had a week of high fever. I have definitely lost a week. Now to catch up

This game was fun during the indie game event I went to and it is currently free on epic! Check out deliver at all costs! <3 store.epicgames.com/en-US/p/deli...

I had such nice plans for my trip which I had to cancel and then tried to make the most of my days off at home but now I am sick. :( I think my body is saying to stop and rest. There has been a lot of stress and anxiety over the last month.

Loved this game. I only played it a few weeks ago. Great for the steam deck as well.
