Snagging this award-winning sci-fi puzzler for under five bucks is a no brainer.

Terror of Hemasaurus - $6.49
🎮 Steam Deck compatibility: Verified
If you like Rampage you'll want to check this one out. If you've never played Rampage, this arcade smash 'em up is still just a bunch of dumb fun that's well worth checking out.

If you like classic style 3D platformers then this is a solid, fairly recent option. This game was first released late last year, and sees you take up the role of a data robot exploring the insides of a computer. This one doesn't run too great on Steam Deck so currently has the Unsupported tag.
