• Shadows of the Afterland looks a bit Thimbleweed Park

This is Aruma Studios' second game, with their first Intruder In Antiquonia released last year.

• Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 1+2 Gets A Steam Deck Badge and Proton Hotfix

  Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 1+2 recently dropped on Steam this week and in our opinion it's an incredible game held back by two massive issues; an always online DRM and a bugged multiplayer on Deck and Linux. While the DRM is a feature, the broken multiplayer was an actual bug as Windows players could get online just fine while Steam Deck and Linux fans were left out in the cold.
