Well, if you compare it to the state of the Play Store, likely 95% of games wouldn’t be allowed to be published on Steam anyway because they don’t allow advertisement in games (unless it’s for games on Steam itself) and other dark patterns these apps deploy.

What actually exists but what I have yet to see implemented in any game I play are those server-side “AI anti-cheat” solutions like from anybrain that basically just analyse the players behavior to fit certain criteria. According to areweanticheatyet.com though there are four games using it already (the most well-known one probably being Lost Ark). In theory ai models can be very efficient and accurate at this (we are not talking about transformer models here like with the current llm craze) but that all depends on how they train a model and what the training data looks like.

• 1899
• Raised by Wolves
• The Lazarus Project
  and maybe The Expanse but as others pointed out due to the timeskip I expect them to continue it at some point.

What I’ve played on my Deck over the last months and would consider more of the type of games you listed:

• Tiny Terry’s Turbo Trip
• Paper Trail
• Smushi Come Home
• Little Kitty, Big City
• Slash Quest
• Haven Park
• Loddlenaut

You can install the Zen kernel as it has the ntsync patch merged already and which I personally prefer for a gaming (desktop) system.
But as I understand it we have to still wait for the corresponding wine patch to be merged as well for it to be usable for Windows applications and more so in case of Proton.

According to her pinned Xitter post, Emily left LMG at the end of August already.

To clear my backlog a bit I recently played Little Kitty, Big City, Smushi Come Home and now Paper Trails. Currently more on the ‘cosy train’ of games. I think Little Kitty, Big City was the first game I played on the Deck that implements the Steam Input API.

Rock and stone!

These are some very good game ideas. :)
The few hours I’ve spent in Wobbledogs, Shenzhen I/O and Another Crab’s Treasure apparently were more significant to Steam than the few hundred hours in Satisfactory and Factorio.

I agree, we need more Dwarf Souls-Likes.

I have that genre listed there too only because I played ~7 hours of Wobbledogs this year.

I created an account there an eternity ago when I first heard about them to reserve my username just in case but I will never consider a platform that cannot package their launcher/tool/software correctly and instead shoves a complex curl-to-bash script embedding binary data and a whole lot of other anti-pattern up my throat that is the least trustworthy and safest method of distributing your software.

I am speaking of the content shared over torrent. Only someone has to get through that DRM so the rest can enjoy.

The irony is that most of the high quality content comes from these “old” clunky formats.

One could think they forgot about a product page and needed someone to quickly cobble together something. The truly funny thing is that they include fonts and a heavy css framework for three images that don’t use any of that.

Apparently it is a real device and not fake or a scam like some were suggesting. It is currently being featured at Fosdem at the KDE booth even and it seems to be featuring the SteamOS interface but seemingly on a Manjaro based os.
I assume this means they have taken the HoloISO bits like the gamescope session and interface but rebased it on Manjaro but it could also just mean they forked and rebranded it as Manjaro (and possibly delay updates for two whole weeks in the name of stability).

It’s the first linux first handheld device next to the Steam Deck and even comes with two touchpads that look strikingly similar to the Deck ones but never would I have imagined it being featured by Manjaro. The specs look impressive though the design reminds me of the early Steam Deck prototypes Valve showed once that equally featured a glossy finish.
Let’s see whether it earns another entry on the list of Manjaro fuckups.

Talos Principle 1 + Gehenna (Had it for years in my library collecting dust), finished it to 100% and am currently playing Talos Principle 2. These games are absolute gems and not even expensive for what you get, too. The people at Croteam are genuine masters of their craft.

Outer Wilds and its DLC is my absolute favorite game of all time and the best I might have ever played. Full stop. There is just so much to it that one doesn’t expect from the surface. It was an experience I still think back to every now and then.

Currently playing Cruelty Squad and enjoying it quite, too.

The game runs and is supported with its anti cheat for a while now but I assume the performance isn’t great.

I recently discovered Tinykin, neat little game.
