Between 2025-08-09 and 2025-08-16 we selected 9 newly released games that are rated as Verified or Playable on the Steam Deck, and meeting specific criteria in terms of user ratings. There’s two games that stand out in this week, the remaster of Off (a retro RPG, remastered) and Deadzone: Rogue (a roguelite FPS in space).

The official Steam release of “OFF” is a remaster of the original 2008 RPG Maker game. It features a new soundtrack, cleaned-up visuals, rebalanced gameplay, and new bosses.

It is a cult classic indie RPG praised for its surreal and haunting atmosphere, unique art style, and unconventional narrative. The turn-based combat can become repetitive quickly, but you could certainly appreciate the story and its pixel art.
