On Game Pass if you have that
One of my all-time favourites
Played this, and I am in, definitely needs some polish but damn this is going to be crazy fun on release. Very much recommend everyone try the demo.
Epic Games Stores’ annual Halloween Sale is now on!

Anyone have a recommendation of one of these games on sale for steam deck? Something reasonably chill?
Reasonably chill on a halloween sale, you say?
Don’t have a deck (or similar), so I’m out on a limb here, but I’d guess that Outer Wilds would suit the deck well. It’s a humorous space exploration puzzle game with a Grounhog Day element to make the gameplay even more interesting.
Haven’t played on a Deck but a Switch, which is similar in usability. I found the handheld was great for indie titles, and especially games like platformers and rouge-likes.
My recommendations from the Steam Scream sale:
- Lost Ruins
- Darkest Dungeon
- Hollow Knight
- Nine Sols
- Little Nightmares
- Dredge
- Signalis
*I have not checked if these are all Deck-compatible, and those in bold I would highly recommend. Of course this is also based on my own preferences and yours may differ. I AM NOT A HORROR GAME FAN!
Yeah, you’re going to have to define “chill” in terms of a Halloween game sale…. From the screen grab though, I’d second @Avatar’s suggestion of Outer Wilds, and maybe throw Subnautica into the bag as well. Haven’t looked at other games on sale, but reckon @Beo has a decent selection in his list.
Curious to know if you do end up getting anything, how many of these titles are/arent Steamdeck ready.
For some reason it slipped my mind that Subnautica has some legitimately pants filling parts, not to mention has a bunch of claustrophobia triggers. Might be the right level of chill!
For those that aren’t aware, you can check https://protondb.com for compatibility. Each game will have an All category, or you can filter down to SteamDeck or Linux Desktop.
