Steam Deck Verified/Playable Highlights 12/4/23 - 12/10/23

This last week, we had a solid amount of new games get the esteemed Steam Deck Verified and Playable badge. Of the two, there were definitely more Playable than Verified titles, but those that are confirmed to be working on the Deck to some degree are always a welcome sight! Here are the 9 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 Verified system and how it can be fixed.

Steam Deck Verified/Playable Highlights 12/4/23 - 12/10/23

Mosa Lina (Playable)

This game is a response to the current trend of Immersive Sim design, where every ability is perfectly suited to solve a specific problem in the game. In order to counter this "Lock and Key" philosophy, Mosa Lina is aggressively random. The game continually spits out randomised problems. It's up to YOU to solve them.

It is $4.99 and rated Playable due to possibly needing to switch windows manually via the Steam overlay.

Skybreakers (Playable) (SDHQ Review)

The game is $8.99 and rated Playable due to sometimes showing non-Steam-Deck controller icons and small in-game text.
