10 PC Games That Are Perfect For Steam Deck

We'll start with namesake of the entire expansion, The Chosen. The three unique champions of the ADVENT forces spend the entire game trying to track down the player and blow the Avenger out of the sky (which is a thing that can absolutely happen), and have a tendency to show up during difficult missions and make things twice as difficult. If players are in a pickle trying to survive a particularly tedious mission, imagine how things go if a Chosen arrives and starts spawning down more enemies and taking powerful sniper shots from across the


As well as providing a beautiful view of the game's landscape, Shadow of the Colossus ' cover art is brilliant for two main reasons. Firstly, it shows the game's "David vs. Goliath" theme in a very striking way with the enormous size difference between the two figures. While the second, very spoiler-heavy reason is that it foreshadows the game's ending . Wander has his sword out, ready to fight the colossus, while the enormous creature has its back to the playable character, seemingly not interested in fight


It's the kind of tense, story-driven stakes that have kept couch-based players on the edge of their seats, and thankfully, the controls have been adapted to a gamepad with as streamlined and intutitive a control scheme as could be hoped for. The controls will be second nature by the second mission or so, maintaining the tactical-over-twitch sensations. The only real cost of conversion to consoles is nagging framerate drops and flickering during cutscenes, specifically. They're noticable, and a shame; but if the game adapts the feel of playing the game, it's a worthy trade-off (especially with the troubled history of trying to make complex strategy games "work" away from a mouse and keyboa


The PSP re-release of Final Fantasy Tactics was mostly just the PS1 game’s graphics. The one big addition the port got was animated cutscenes drawn in a style that fit the game’s theme. That is what this game and its predecessor, Octopath Traveler, lacked. The in-game animations are fine but they still look goofy. Square Enix definitely has the budget for cutscenes since this style is trying to harken back to the PS1 days alre


Sectopods are huge bi-pedal mechs used by ADVENT troops. These tanks on legs can kill an entire squad with its Wrath Cannon if the player is foolish enough to keep them grouped. The Wrath Cannon fires a particle beam, which is three tiles wide, across the battlefield damaging every soldier in its path. The Sectopod can also extend itself upwards; this increases the range of its weapons and allows it better accuracy against elevated soldiers, and soldiers behind cover. The Sectopod also has a very high armor and health ratings- so don’t expect it to fall eas


Although the XCOM 2 expansion carries a hefty price tag, Firaxis Games justifies it with an add-on that switches around the strategy and balance of the game from to to bottom. At its core, War of the Chosen adds new player-friendly factions that have their own unique soldier classes, three of 'The Chosen' alien commanders that repeatedly attack the player throughout the game's missions, a new unfriendly-to-everyone zombie force called The Lost, and strategic and interface touch-ups gal


These robotic horrors can mean death to entire squad if the player is not careful. Cyberdiscs have very strong armor and a lot of hit points; this is made worse for the player by the presence of drones that can repair Cyberdiscs. Their main cannon will usually kill a soldier without heavy armor. Cyberdiscs can also lob grenades across the battlefield; which means seeking cover isn’t as effective against them. Lastly, don’t get too close or a Cyberdisc will use their "Death Blossom" attack that does severe damage in a 360°


As the rescued and restored Commander, the player takes on a challenge and campaign that is, in many ways, an inverted form of the original. Now operating as the resilient infection the aliens posed previously, the gameplay, mood, desperation, and constant threat of failure and death have been completely twisted. The main difference is the element of surprise: allowing players to operate unseen prior to attacks, scouting enemy forces, planning and executing ambushes, fundamentally changing the complexion of the standard miss


Most games with a lot of text based dialogue usually have the option to let scenes play out automatically. Persona 5 Strikers is a good example that does this well. This game does not have that feature meaning one has to manually skip through text boxes as conversations wrap up. It’s not a huge grievance but it would be nice to see upgra


The Chosen can be defeated by performing a series of covert operations and a tough final assassination mission, a process which takes some time. Don't take too long, though: these aren't static enemies. The longer they exist, the more strength they have. That isn't to say they don't have weakness either, as they follow a nemesis system that takes heavy inspiration from the likes of Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor . They're easily the most difficult addition to the SLG game news, but they add plenty of flavor to the experience and much satisfaction when they're finally taken d
