Here it is once again. It's that time of the year. Valve have opened the floodgates for you to throw money at your screen during the Steam Summer Sale 2024.
While every month Valve has been posting a fresh set of the most played Steam Deck games for the previous month, they've now added a dedicated Steam Chart for it.
Distance is a name I've not heard for a while. A really good fun sci-fi racing platformer from developer Refract that released in 2018, and they're bringing it back for v1.5: The Kinetic Update.
Star Trek: Resurgence released on Steam back in May and Dramatic Labs have continued to put up improvements, with the latest being a good update for Steam Deck players.
Valve have released SteamOS 3.6.8 Beta showing that they're readying up SteamOS 3.6 for release with it moving from just being in Preview. Plus, a few more updates to the brand new Steam Game Recording for all Steam users.
Another big upgrade for Steam desktop and Steam Deck fans, with Game Recording now in Beta allowing you to easily clip your favourite moments with no external apps needed.
HORI, a manufacturer of popular gaming accessories have today revealed the Wireless Horipad for Steam. So if you're in need of a gamepad, this might be for you.
Dawnfolk (previously called Lueur and the Dim Settlers) is a very promising minimalist survival city-builder, one that suckered me in with the various mini-games in every tile you build and it's looking great.
While Valve didn't really do anything to mark the 25th anniversary of Counter-Strike 2, they have at least put out another small update that brings in the first community maps for CS2.
Neon Rider Classic is the new and improved definitive collection of classic Flash games, Neon Rider and Neon Rider World, which were played more than 15 million times and now it's on Steam.
A nice little win for preserving the classics. GOG teamed up with Capcom to bring Resident Evil, Resident Evil 2 and Resident Evil 3 to their store with a few improvements.
Inspired by the original Rebelstar from 1986 and in parts UFO: Enemy Unknown / X-COM: UFO Defense, you may want to take a look at Archrebel Tactics if you like your strategy games with a retro look and feel.
