This week, we have a great list of new Steam Deck Verified and Playable games, including one that has actually been downgraded. Tactical Breach Wizards and DAVIGO both got their green checkmarks, while Fast Food Simulator and Path of Exile 2 got the Playable badges. Shadows of Doubt also got downgraded to the Playable badge due to small in-game text.

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.

Steam Deck Verified/Playable Highlights 12/16/24 - 12/22/24

Fast Food Simulator (Playable)

Welcome to the world's most chaotic place! Play solo or co-op with up to 6 players. Run a fast-food restaurant, and work with your friends to expand your business. Take orders, make burgers, and increase your earnings by dealing with customers.

The game is on a 10% off sale at $13.49 until December 24th and is rated Playable due to needing a community controller configuration, showing incorrect controller icons, small in-game text, and needing to manually bring up the Virtual Keyboard.

Tactical Breach Wizards (Verified)

In Tactical Breach Wizards, you lead a team of renegade wizards in kevlar through turn-based battles to unravel a modern conspiracy plot. Combine their unique spells in clever ways, or rewind time to try every crazy plan you can think of to punch a Traffic Warlock through a 4th story window.

The game is on a 20% off sale at $15.99 until January 2nd and is rated Verified.

Shadows of Doubt (Playable) (Downgrade)

An immersive sandbox detective stealth game set in a fully simulated sci-fi noir city of crime and corruption. Think like a private investigator and take on jobs to earn cash on your path to catching a serial killer. If you don’t catch them - they will kill again…

The game is 40% off until January 2nd and is rated Playable due to small in-game text. It used to be rated Verified but was downgraded.

Deepest Chamber: Resurrection (Verified)

Delve into the depths of Deepest Chamber: Resurrection, where card boosting is your key to survival. Employ this unique mechanic to augment your abilities, strategize your next moves and endure a series of increasingly perilous descents in this gripping rogue-lite, card-battling adventure!

Dungeons of Dreadrock 2 - The Dead King's Secret (Verified)

Dungeons of Dreadrock - The Dead King's Secret is Part 2 of the (yet unfinished) Dreadrock Trilogy. In this episode you'll puzzle and fight your way through the ancient cavern parts of Dreadrock Mountain. The game features 100 levels, 5 bosses, two different endings and tons of adorable pixel art.

The game is $14.99 and is rated Verified.

Path of Exile 2 (Playable)

Path of Exile 2 is a next generation Action RPG from Grinding Gear Games, featuring co-op for up to six players. Set years after the original Path of Exile, you will return to the dark world of Wraeclast and seek to end the corruption that is spreading.

The game is in early access for $29.99 and is rated Playable due to small in-game text. However, after testing, it doesn't perform necessarily well on the Steam Deck in later areas, trials, and acts.

DAVIGO (Verified)

DAVIGO is a VR vs. PC physics-based battle game. Become the GIANT in VR or a small KNIGHT on PC and fight your friends in local or online matches. KNIGHTS play for free with DAVIGO KNIGHT'S PASS.

The game is on a 20% off sale at $19.99 until January 2nd and is rated Verified.

The game is $19.99 and is rated Verified.

A dice-driven RPG, in a human and heartfelt sci-fi world. You are an escaped android, with a malfunctioning body, a price on your head and no memory of your past. Get a ship, find a crew, and take on contracts while you navigate across the Starward Belt.

The game will be released on January 31st and is rated Playable due to small in-game text.

Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: Rita's Rewind (Verified)
