Valve seems to be going back to the normal rate of new Steam Deck verified or playable games, but that doesn't mean we have any short of some good ones to check out! Here are the 6 we found that definitely deserve a look!
Verified or Playable games don't automatically mean they work amazing right out-of-the-box. Some of these games require work to optimize and play well.
RONIN (Verified)
Ronin is stylish a turn-based action-platformer that follows the exploits of a vengeful heroine determined to strike down five prominent figures of a powerful corporation. Move with precision by meticulously planning out each silent step, soaring leap, and devastating swing of your blade from the shadows as you seek your revenge and battle through over fifteen complex missions as you stalk and cut down five closely guarded figures within a secretive conglomerate.
The game is $13 and rated verified.
HYPER GUNSPORT (Verified)
Hyper Gunsport is all about arcade action, precision shooting, and tight jumps! But the ONLY thing you can shoot is the ball! A team is composed of two positions, a keeper and a striker, with their own special weapons which unlock over time. Ultimately, Hyper Gunsport rewards precision shooting for the hardcore minded, but is also friendly to new players who just want to have a good time.

I just want to say that ask though it's premise is simple Ronin is a fantastic little game that can give you many hours of frustration and fun, just don't forget that it's also secretly part puzzle and you might need to find another way around an issue
Isn't finding a way around the issue part of the fun though? 😀
