This article is designed to help you to speed up your research. I’ve curated an overview of each game’s ProtonDB tiers and Deck Verified statuses, as well as their HowLongToBeat (HLTB) times. For every title, you’ll find links to its Steam page for more info, ProtonDB for compatibility insights, and ShareDeck for performance configurations tailored to the Steam Deck. Additionally, I’ve included a convenient button for each game to directly search it on YouTube for the Steam Deck. This means you can easily find gameplay footage, reviews, and performance tests without having to type out the search yourself.
August 2024’s Humble Choice bundle has arrived, offering an exciting mix of genres that will cater to a wide range of gaming preferences. Whether you’re into the intense martial arts action of Sifu, the dark fantasy world of Blacktail, or the sprawling open-world adventure of Gotham Knights, this month’s selection has something special for everyone.
The bundle also boasts solid compatibility with Linux systems and the Steam Deck, featuring games that range from “Gold” to “Platinum” ratings on ProtonDB. This ensures that you can enjoy these titles with minimal adjustments, especially on the go with your Steam Deck.
August’s Humble Choice bundle offers a fantastic lineup that caters to various tastes, from fast-paced action to deep narrative experiences. Whether you’re looking for a game to test your skills, explore a rich world, or simply enjoy a good story, this month’s selection won’t disappoint.
Personally, I’m most excited about diving into Blacktail, exploring its dark world, and mastering its archery combat. With other standout titles like Sifu and Gotham Knights also in the mix, there’s plenty to keep me entertained on my Steam Deck for weeks to come.
For those interested in other games, I’ll be hosting giveaways on the @DeckFilter Twitter account, so stay tuned for your chance to win!
