Easter Gaming: XCOM: Enemy Unknown, Total War, Clone Drone & Vornyca on Steam Deck

This week's testing highlights: 6 games from horror co-op to strategy — Tomak, Vornyca, Total War: Pharaoh Dynasties and more, all tested for Steam Deck.

Happy Easter Everyone!

Hope you’re having a great time if you’re visiting family this weekend. Hopefully the long weekend’s been good for a bit of rest, relaxation, and gaming.

Down under we’re officially heading out of summer and into winter. Daylight savings kicked in over the weekend so we lost an hour, and there’s some wet and rough weather on the way later this week.

We’re a bit bummed about daylight savings, we had so many jobs we needed to do on the boat over summer but never got the right weather or enough free time. Fingers crossed things can hang in there over winter or until we get some free time to work on them.

🚀 Junk Store Pro 3.0 is here! In case you missed the announcement, we've added heaps of new goodies: built-in SteamGridDB, a File Manager, Disk Analyser, and Process Manager. Check out the YouTube video for a full rundown. If you've got a license, update now. If you haven't tried it yet, give it a go with our 7 day free trial. Features like these aren't available anywhere else, and yes they all run right in Game Mode.
