Not technically a game, but I got this for my Clone Hero playing on Steamdeck. Grabbed the GT Live controller a month ago, and I'm enjoying it enough to convince me to drop £120 on this thing, and actually play the songs I love with a 5-fret for the first time.

I'm not a huge fan of beat-em-ups but even I loved Shredder's Revenge. It's especially great for couch coop.

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Shredder's Revenge Streets of Rage 2 and 4 (Probably my top recommendation) Scott Pilgrim vs. The World Absolum TMNT: The Arcade Game The Simpsons Dungeons & Dragons: Shadow over Mystara River City Ransom Castle Crashers Comix Zone Splatterhouse 3

I got my eye on that controller. I use my steam deck docked to my tv most of the time, and while the DS5 works well enough for the most part there are always those few games in the backlog that don't gel super well with it. I really like how the deck feels in portable mode so if this controller is basically just the steam deck with the screen chopped off then it would be perfect.

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Turtles in Time After getting through Hades II I wanted to play a something a little lighter, so I grabbed the retro-console and gave this little slice of 90's gaming a look. Now, I'm not really a fan of the beat-em-up; it just wasn't something I played a lot of growing up, and as such it isn't something I gravitate towards. That said I had a good time with this. It's fairly brief, but that's to be expected from this sort of game. Had a good time with it though and I'm probably going to try and play more games in this genre going forward. Any recs? Hades II Technically I beat Hades II. Took me some 50 hours, but I finally hit credits and unlike Hades 1 I didn't have to enable God-mode. Go me I guess? I am however, not yet done with this one though. I want to get through the prologue before I consider putting it down. Dispatch Man, I fucking adore this game. It's been a breath of fresh air and a game I've been delighted to return to twice a week for the last month. I had some minor issues with the games 'tactical' mini-game (which may well be down to me not fully understanding the mechanics), but everything else from its story to it's characters and it's overall presentation was superb and I can't wait to see what Adhoc has in store going forward.

New VR Headset New Controller New Steam Machine No prices as of yet, but I imagine we'll find out more pretty soonish as these are coming in 'early 2026'. I'm mainly interested in the Steam Machine. I've got a library of some 700+ games on Steam, as well as many many more games on various other libraries. And as much as I adore my Steamdeck, sometimes it just doesn't have the power to play what I want to play on my TV. I don't have the space to go full gaming PC anymore, and I have been interested in a behind-the-TV option for a while, unfortunately price is always the issue on that front... If Valve can find a way to make this thing affordable, it might be my new go-to gaming platform. Big if though. New Steam Hardware

Chrono Trigger DS My first time ever beating Chrono Trigger. I don't know what to say. It was really good. Maybe the best Square game I've played? Loved FF6 and FF9 but Chrono Trigger...! Works great on the AYN Thor, lovely to play it with two screens. Score: 11/10

Same, the Kinda Funny review pushed me over the edge. Booting it up now.
