After a week off from doing it, here's a fresh video overview of some recent Steam Deck and Proton gaming news for you.

If you're in the need for a new game to pick up and play I can happily recommend Roto Force to you. A high-energy 2D twin-stick bullet-hell where you rotate around little arenas and it's just chaos.

Finally. One less extra launcher to become a nuisance? Blizzard games are finally coming to Steam with Overwatch 2 set to be the first on August 10th.

Another bunch of games can be yours for cheaps in the Humble Cozy Games Collection. So here's a run over the compatibility to expect on Steam Deck and desktop Linux for you.

After all the ruckus recently about the Dolphin Emulator for Wii and GameCube coming to Steam, and then being blocked - the team has now given up with the Steam release.

Love fast-paced challenges? Enter Grip are working on Parkour Legends, a fast-paced side-scrolling parkour platformer and it looks like a lot of fun.

Love a bit of colour in your gaming life? JSAUX have two new releases ready to order today with the RGB Docking Station and the RGB transparent backplate for Steam Deck.
