It's been a strange few days for Palworld on Steam Deck. Originally it was rated Steam Deck Playable, then after the major Feybreak update Valve set it as Steam Deck Unsupported and now it's back to Steam Deck Playable again.

Witch-tech? That's a new one. Crescent County has a really fun idea and some lovely visuals too. It's a delivery life-sim where you move to a witch-tech island and explore its painterly open world on the back of your scrappy, souped-up motorbroom.

Terraria 2? Well, they can't call it that of course, but it sure looks like it. Coming from developer Pugstorm and published by Chucklefish, KYORA looks quite delightful.
Just in time for my new playthrough, Horizon Zero Dawn Remastered was updated to version 1.4 today bringing with it plenty of improvements and it should work better for Steam Deck / gamepad controller players.
