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.
May 2024’s Humble Choice lineup is here, and it’s as diverse as it is captivating. From the immersive RPG world of Yakuza: Like a Dragon to the rhythm-based action of Hi-Fi RUSH, and the engaging narrative of Amanda the Adventurer, there’s a universe for every type of gamer.
The selection this month spans from “Gold” to “Platinum” on ProtonDB, indicating a range from games that run smoothly with minimal adjustments on Linux systems and the Steam Deck, to others that might require a bit more tinkering. Standouts include Yakuza: Like a Dragon and Hi-Fi RUSH, both achieving “Platinum” and “Verified” status, ensuring a seamless gaming experience.
In terms of commitment, whether you’re after a quick adventure or a deep dive, May’s choices have got you covered. Fancy a brief yet intense journey? Amanda the Adventurer offers around 1 hour of main storyline gameplay. On the other hand, if you’re ready to lose yourself in a vast, engaging experience, Yakuza: Like a Dragon presents up to 103 hours for completionists. From quick fixes to lengthy campaigns, there’s something for every schedule.
I’ve already had the thrill of playing Hi-Fi RUSH on my Steam Deck, and as a fan of innovative music-driven games, it hit all the right notes for me. Alongside this, I’m eager to delve into the deep story of Yakuza: Like a Dragon for its dramatic RPG elements. Amanda the Adventurer also stands out with its unique interactive storytelling, promising a refreshing change of pace. For those interested in other games, I’ll be hosting giveaways on the @DeckFilter Twitter account, so stay tuned for your chance to win!
