• You can get Shadow of Mordor, Shadow of War and more in this bundle

  Ready for the weekend? Humble Bundle just put up the Fantastic Journeys: Middle-earth and Beyond bundle and it's actually pretty darn good. As usual now I'll be going over each game to list the Steam Deck Verified rating plus either Native Linux status or ProtonDB ranking so you've got the full picture.

• Lutris adds Amazon Games integration, plus Flatpak finally out (good for Steam Deck)

  Lutris, the all encompassing game manager for installing games from various stores and services (both Native and with Wine / Proton) has a new version out. Plus, the Flatpak is finally ready, making it real easy to run on Steam Deck.

• Steam Deck has a new Client Beta with more Steam Input improvements (updated)

  A small but interesting Steam Deck update available in Beta and Preview, which you can try out right now.  To try it out hit the Steam button, got to Settings >System and change the Steam Update Channel to either Beta or Preview. You can revert it to Stable any time.

• Escape the rising waters and take on refugees in Diluvian Winds - new trailer up

  Diluvian Winds continues looking interesting. Alambik Studio and Goblinz Publishing are working to bring out a 2D management and building game where you're trying to fight against the rising water that's left you exiled.

• No more dungeons, overtake the overworld tile by tile in Overboss

  Overboss looks like a fun idea. Coming from the same team that gave us Legend of Keepers, it has you emerge from the underworld to take over the overworld. This is actually a digital version of the board game of the same name, which was from the same people that made Boss Monster (a favourite of mine).

• Get a free copy of cyberpunk RPG 'Dex' in The GOG Sale

  The GOG Sale continues on and their next free giveaway has been revealed as the cyberpunk action RPG named Dex.

• Steam Deck 2 is absolutely coming, new booklet from Valve confirms

  Valve has just released a rather fancy Steam Deck Booklet to introduce Valve, Steam and the Steam Deck to the new markets across Asia they're about to expand into and it gives some fun details.
