Do you feel the need for some new games? Perhaps to continue building up a collection for the upcoming Steam Deck? Now is yet another chance for you with the Steam Lunar New Year Sale 2022. Not only is there a big sale but if you head over to the Points Shop, you'll also get a new sticker each day too.

Time to check out your Steam Wishlist to see if any goodies you want are discounted! Lots to choose from as always and it's never easy to pick between them all - what will you be buying? I might finally pull the trigger on Wasteland 3 at 67% off which hasn't seen a bigger discount yet. I can also happily suggest you grab Despot's Game: Dystopian Army Builder, which only has 20% off but it's a great game.
See the full sale on Steam. You can also try the SteamDB page for more filters and SteamDB also just updated their own Sales page to allow you to filter to Steam Deck, which shows a combined list of sales for both Playable and Verified titles.

If you spot any really good deals do comment and let other readers know!

We're currently at about 0.3M monthly active gamers there and are hopefully bound to be in the millions within the next two years.
I'd like to know the Steam Deck rating for each of these. We're likely to see an immense increase in Linux gamers in a few weeks. :)The rating as the article mentions is Verified for the list. There's only Verified, Playable and Unsupported.

Their revenue numbers in 2021 have been abysmal. Just $300 million.
For myself, I reckon I'll pick up Manifold Garden, which has a nice Antichamber vibe to it.

1.3M monthly active. The 0.3M is how many have been on at the same time.Ahh. Thanks for clarifying :)
- Nina Aquila: Legal Eagle - Native. Loved the demo, cute, funny, great artwork and you get to shout OBJECTION! a lot.
- Dogs Organized Neatly - Not native, but made with Godot. It's a very simple game, but I loved Cats Organized Neatly for the artwork and the descriptions of the animals and these seems like heckin' good doggos!
- Unavowed - I do love me a good adventure game and Wadjet usually delivers. Native and so fresh it still got that new Linux port smell....
Considering that I'm currently playing a game (for the first time) I bought on release date in 1998 I guess I'll get around to these somewhere around 2044....
Never got around to playing the first one, hope I'll find the time to play this new and improved one.
Rogue-lite fans may want to grab Starward Rogue by the same dev (Arcen Games). It's silly cheap at the moment.
