Humble Choice October 2024: What to play on Steam Deck

The Humble Choice October 2024 bundle has just been announced, and it’s packed with fantastic games across a variety of genres. Whether you’re into action-packed shooters, stylish RPGs, quirky humor, or atmospheric puzzle-platformers, this lineup has something for everyone. I couldn’t resist diving in and choosing several games to add to my Steam Deck library.

Although Remnant II and Persona 5 Strikers are unsupported on the Steam Deck, their Gold ProtonDB ratings and playtimes of around 15-20 hours and 20-25 hours respectively make them worth tweaking for a full experience. Meanwhile, Jusant, which takes 4.5-6 hours to complete, is Deck Verified and ready to go. Other highlights like Dome Keeper (5.5 hours) and McPixel 3 (5.5 hours) are also Verified, while Jack Move offers smooth RPG action with a manageable 6-8 hour runtime.

For my keeps this month, I’ve chosen Remnant II because I already own the first one (though I haven’t played it yet), and Persona 5 Strikers for its fun, anime-inspired combat. I’m excited for Jusant due to my love for Don’t Nod’s games and looking forward to the investigation elements in Remnant Records. McPixel 3 made the cut for its wacky, pixelated humor, and I couldn’t resist Jack Move for its turn-based RPG mechanics and intriguing cyberpunk story. This bundle is a win for Steam Deck users!

For those interested in other games, I’ll be hosting giveaways on the @DeckFilter Twitter account, so stay tuned for your chance to win!
