A new and highly-rated game is FREE via Steam!
✖ A new Steam game that's supported by the Steam Deck is now available for free, courtesy of Valve, the makers of Steam and the Steam Deck. And the new free game is a Portal spin-off game. Over the years, Steam has developed and published some legendary games and series, including Half-Life, Left 4 Dead, Counter-Strike, and Dota. Not much of this tops Portal and Portal 2 though. Unfortunately, there's no word of Portal 3 or any reason to expect Portal 3 to be made anytime soon.
According to Steam, the game has been designed with the Steam Deck specifically in mind, providing players with a tutorial to the piece of new hardware. Thus, as you would expect, it's on the shorter side. Whether it's any good or not, we don't know. Reviews on Steam are currently"Overwhelmingly Positive" though, with 97 percent of users reviewing the game positively.
"Lower your expectations: This is not a sequel to Portal. Now get ready to raise them slightly, because it is in the expanded universe of those games," says Valve of the game."Desk Job puts you squarely in the driver's seat at Aperture Science. Then quickly removes the driving part and adds a desk in front of the seat.
0commentsOf course, there's no barrier to entry to using Steam. The Steam Deck is a different story though. Depending on the model, the price varies from $399 to $529 to $649.
