This past week, we had a ton of new, awesome games that got the Steam Deck Verified/Playable badge, with most of the highlights I found being indie titles. We do have phenomenal AAA releases like Kingdom Hearts, but the majority were awesome smaller titles like Mullet Mad Jack, Dark and Darker, Into the Emberlands, and more.

Here are the 11 highlights we found:

Verified or Playable games don't automatically mean they work amazing out of the box. Some of these games may require work to optimize and play well. Here are our thoughts on the system and how it can be fixed.
