Need a free game? You're in luck as Hue from Fiddlesticks Games and Curve Games is currently free to keep on Steam until June 8th. Released originally back in 2016, it has a Native Linux version available and is rated Steam Deck Playable.
What is it? "Hue is a vibrant, award-winning puzzle-adventure, where you alter the world by changing its background colour. You explore a dangerous grey land, unearthing coloured fragments on a journey to find your missing mother. As obstacles match the background, they disappear, creating new and exciting puzzles - full of peril, mystery… and colours unseen."

Hue has one of my favorite soundtracks of all time, and the puzzles are ingenious. I highly recommend it!

As mostly a puzzler and point and click player, I was surprised by the jumping (you should use a controller!) and underwhelmed by the puzzle difficulty in parts of the game. Jokingly called it a "twin-stick puzzler" in my review. The difficulty does rise in the later levels though, so, worth to get and play!

I'm still only a relatively recent console expatriate, so seeing quality full games being given away for free in this manner is still very novel to me. The most I ever saw back on consoles was free-to-play stuff with strings attached.

And all of the Gladius DLCs. They are only 64,41 € on to of the free base game.
