Best Game on Steam Deck Award

Hogwarts Legacy


Hogwarts Legacy

The first finalist in the category: “The best game on Steam Deck” is Hogwarts Legacy. The world of Hogwarts, the famous wizarding school from the Harry Potter films and books, should be familiar to many. In Hogwarts Legacy, you play a wizard who goes to this very school, but well before the events of the Harry Potter films.

You will learn a wide variety of spells in different subjects. But life in Hogwarts Legacy is not just about school. A huge open world awaits you, with all sorts of things to explore. In the world you will find many different animals and opponents against whom you must win exciting magical battles.


The Outlast Trials


The Outlast Trials

The Outlast Trials is not the kind of game you would normally think to yourself: “I’ll play this quietly in bed tonight”. Because The Outlast Trials is a horror game. However, thanks to optimisations, it can be played on the Steam Deck without any problems and is therefore totally justified in this category. You can either play the game alone or in co-op with up to 4 people.

You have been locked up in a Murkoff asylum, which is sheer horror. Your goal is to survive the therapy either alone or with your friends and finally be allowed to return to freedom. In addition to the main therapies, there are also small MK challenges that only take a short time to complete.


Brotato


Brotato

Brotato is a top-down arena shooter roguelite in which you play a potato and can hold up to 6 different weapons. By killing enemies in different waves, you earn money, which you can use to buy new weapons or items after each wave that improve the different stats of your potato.

There are different characters, all of which have very different playstyles and restrictions. If the tactic for one is to move as little as possible, you have to keep moving for the other. New items are unlocked after each death, keeping further runs on the same character interesting. Brotato is the perfect game to play from the comfort of your bed, as your Brotato can be controlled perfectly with the joycons, as the game takes care of attacking all by itself.


Dredge


Dredge


In Dredge you play a fisherman on his small cutter. But you soon realise that the waters you are fishing in and the people are not all completely normal. You often feel like you are being followed or watched. As you fish, you will encounter more and more mutations or dangerous fish over time.

A world full of secrets and dangers awaits you to explore. Over time, you will upgrade your ship more and more so that you can fish in new depths, be less afraid in the dark or travel faster to new areas. Dredge can also be played on the Steam Deck without any problems, as fishing, for example, runs through small mini-games and no other precision is required that you could only achieve with the mouse.


Diablo IV


Diablo IV

Diablo IV is probably the game that has received the most hype this year. It is the new Diablo part from Blizzard. Diablo 4 is an action RPG with a huge map. Many different dungeons, bosses and different biomes await you there.

The demon Lilith, which you defeated in Diablo 2, has awoken again and is now causing unrest in the land once more. You can choose between 5 different classes, all of which have their own skills and abilities. By defeating enemies, you will constantly receive new loot and weapons, which will make you stronger and stronger over time. Thanks to good optimisation, playing Diablo 4 on the Steam Deck is also no problem.

VR game of the year


The VR Game of the Year is the best game developed for a VR headset. There are no specific criteria, such as the VR game with the best story, but rather the game that performs best overall. As not everyone has VR glasses to test the games, we recommend watching the games on YouTube.

VR game of the year

F1 23


F1 23

F1 23 is the official Formula 1 game from Electronic Arts. You can play it either with or without VR goggles. In F1 23, you drive exciting races in the current season with all the well-known Formula 1 drivers. It’s a very realistic racing game, so you really have to pay attention to everything, such as the temperature of your tyres, etc.

If you play F1 23 with VR goggles and a steering wheel, everything becomes even more immersive, as you really feel like you’re behind the wheel of an F1 car with more than 900 hp.


Gorilla Tag


Gorilla Tag

In Gorilla Tag, as the name suggests, you play as a gorilla. To do this, you have to use your arms to climb up ropes, walls and much more in order to escape your opponents or catch other players.

This is a multiplayer PvP game, so you can’t play it alone. If you play Gorilla Tag with a group of friends, it’s even more fun. You will need VR glasses to play Gorilla Tag.


Labyrinthine


Labyrinthine

Labyrinthine is a co-op horror game in which you find yourself either alone or together with up to 4 players in various labyrinths and have to try to get away from them and, above all, survive. Around every corner could be a deadly danger that wants to kill you.

Many different unique monsters and threats await you in Labyrinthine. In addition to the story, you can play the game in many different modes, in which new threats are constantly coming your way, making it even more exciting and worth playing several times. A VR headset is a prerequisite for playing Labyrinthine.


I expect you to Die 3


I expect you to Die 3

I expect you to Die 3 is a VR puzzle game in which you have to solve many different small tasks to pass a level. You play a spy who is infiltrated into various locations to gather information. The tasks you have to accomplish are always different and creative, so you’ll never get bored while playing.

At your side you have a bunch of gadgets that you can use in the missions to solve the puzzles. You can only play I Expect You To Die 3 alone as it has no co-op and VR goggles are mandatory.


Ghost of Tabor


Ghost of Tabor

Ghosts of Tabor is an Escape from Tarkov inspired extraction shooter. So you are on the map, loot there. Kill enemy NPCs and also real players and then finally have to flee from this place back to your safe camp, all in VR.

In Ghost of Tabor, you have many different weapons with various attachments at your disposal, which you can find or buy. You can also play the game in groups of up to 4 players, so it’s the perfect game to play with your friends in the evening so you can feel like real soldiers.
