Helldivers 2 rated Playable for Steam Deck by Valve

Quoting: CybolicWell, I'm glad the choice is here, but I'm already soured on the game from its DRM introduction.

Has anyone here played it; is it any good? Watching that trailer got my hopes slightly up from the Paul Verhooven-ish "Are We The Baddies" intro, but the rest of the gameplay seems to completely drop that tone, so it looks like just another bro-shooter. Is there more to it?
Feels like one of those things you need to dive deeper into to get. I just wanna get something to play with the boys.

Horizon Forbidden West Complete Edition arrives on Steam in 'early 2024'

Alright, so given the original release of Forbidden West can run on PS4 I'm gonna say it'll be on par with Zero Dawn on Deck. Given this is Nixxes as opposed to Virtuous, who did Zero Dawn, it might be a bit better because... oh boy was Zero Dawn rough on launch.
The Burning Shores expansion might be an issue though as that was made for PS5 and has no PS4 version.

Quoting: scaineFrom the screenshots, it looks like the enemy models have been updated too? Or am I just remembering my original play-through at 800x600?? :grin:

I'd like to see a handheld PC guy like ETA Prime or Taki Udon take a crack at these. It'd possibly be a good deal.

Well, it is being done by Nixxes, which has a great pedigree with their previous Insomniac ports. But yeah, I need to see it running to believe it.
