For a brief moment, Avowed knocked the Steam Deck off its top spot Like a lot of you, I picked up a copy of Avowed yesterday, and looked forward to diving into the world of Eora. Despite having not played Pillars of Eternity , I have been excited to explore Obsidian's new RPG even deeper. It's been getting some pretty solid feedback already, with Steam showing that it's currently sitting pretty on "Very Positive," though it's early days yet. Our reviewer Kristina gave it a mighty 9 out of 10, calling it one of the best RPGs they've played so far in 2025. https://www.reddit.com/r/avowed/comments/1isluhn/avowed_is_the_number_1_seller_in_us_on_steam/ As such, we can't be surprised to see that Avowed is – at the time of writing – at the number two spot on Steam's Top Sellers list . Why is it not number one? Well, according to the above screenshot from Reddit user HomeMadeShock, it was. At least very briefly. This means that, for a short period of time, Obsidian's new game was ahead of the Steam Deck. (Admittedly, you can make the argument that Avowed is number one in terms of video game titles, considering the Deck is a piece of hardware.) Why is this noteworthy? If you ever follow the Steam charts, you'll quickly note that Valve's portable gaming device is pretty much always at the top, looking down at everything else below it. It remains steadfast in that position, so a game knocking it off, even just briefly, is pretty interesting. This has happened a few times in the past, particularly when it comes to something that's been hyped in the gaming world. Last year, for example, Helldivers 2 did the same thing , before the Steam Deck very quickly reclaimed its place at the top. As I say, these things don't usually last, but it is at least noteworthy to see some games can just shoot straight to the top of the Steam charts, powered by initial hype, early access, and a boost in sales from day one. It is very much a "blink and you'll miss it" moment, so it'll be interesting to see future game will give the Steam Deck a momentary run for its money.

Momodora: Moonlit Farewell Shines Even Brighter on the Switch Momodora: Moonlit Farewell is the final game in the Momodora series that released on PC last year to great acclaim. Now it’s come to consoles, and it’s clear that the Switch is the perfect home for an already fantastic game. For those that haven't dipped into the Momodora series, or didn't check out any trailers, I'll hit you with a quick refresher. You play as Momo Reinol, a priestess in the village of Koho. Demons have begun to appear after someone has rung an ominous Black Bell, so it’s up to Momo to fight off the invasion while tracking down the culprit. This requires a lot of Metroidvania platforming, steadily gathering new abilities and opening up new locations. Despite being the fifth game in the series, Momodora: Moonlit Farewell is meant to be a suitable point for newcomers to jump in. As a newcomer myself, I’d say it was successful. The premise is simple enough to understand, and while characters don’t get many grand introductions spelling out who they are, they don’t need them either. This isn’t a particularly complicated plot to begin with, and the character writing is strong enough that I warmed to everyone easily. I especially loved the little interactions with regular shop character Cereza, as simple as they were. Screenshot by Siliconera Gameplay remains as solid as it was on PC a year ago. Or so I assume, as my experience with the Switch version was similar to what was described in our review last year. Good movement mechanics are always the key thing that sell me on a Metroidvania, and Momodora: Moonlit Farewell does a great job here. It’s not quite up there with some of the best in the genre but it’s snappy and responsive. In particular, the combination of the double jump and wall jump is delightfully satisfying to play around with. Combat is also strong, providing a decent challenge throughout. However, I did sometimes feel the difficulty was balanced backwards, with a lot of standard enemies causing me trouble while I often breezed through bosses with little issue. It was odd but nothing that hurt the experience for me. I also found myself enjoying the Sigil customization a lot more than I expected, since their effects usually had versatile use cases. Some of them made a huge difference to some of the trickier parts of the game. Screenshot by Siliconera All this works incredibly well on the Switch. Nintendo’s console has been showing its age for a while, but Momodora: Moonlit Farewell is exactly the type of game that still works well for it. Being a side scroller built around more old school visuals, there’s nothing here that causes the system to panic, so it was a smooth experience all round. In fact, the gorgeous pixel art looks even better in handheld mode, with the smaller screen reducing some of the jagged edges. I imagine the OLED version might bring it out better but sadly, I have a first-year Switch so I cannot personally confirm this. Moonlit Farewell is also a great game for playing in handheld mode. The distance between checkpoint bells is rarely long, so it’s easy to jump in and out in between other tasks. Gameplay is challenging and satisfying enough that even in short bursts it can be rewarding and entertaining. The only problem I found is how difficult it often was to tear myself away, so those “short burst” sessions became a few hours. The world of Momodora is captivating and the gameplay feels so good that I found myself wanting to stay in it for as long as possible. Of course, this is a short enough game that you can blast through it in a chill weekend on the couch, or maybe a long journey. Screenshot by Siliconera If you played this on PC already, it’s unlikely you’ll need this version, however. As far as I can tell, the console version is a straight port with no new features or modes. I’ve been singing its praises as a handheld title, but if you already own the Steam version and a Steam Deck, you’ll already be able to experience that. If you skipped out on Momodora: Moonlit Farewell on its initial release, though, then the Switch version is worth your time. It’s an excellent Metroidvania that does a lot to please fans of the genre even if it doesn’t do much to push the genre forward. But it also feels tailor-made for the handheld experience with its shorter length, simple mechanics and visuals that seem to work best on a smaller screen. Momodora: Moonlit Farewell is out now for PC, Nintendo Switch, PS5 and Xbox Series X/S. The post Momodora: Moonlit Farewell Shines Even Brighter on the Switch appeared first on Siliconera .

Interview: Developing Hello Kitty Island Adventure Hello Kitty Island Adventure constantly appears among the top Apple Arcade games, and the Switch and PC versions invited new players to the island resort alongside iconic mascots in 2025. Not to mention PlayStation versions are on the horizon. To find out more about what went into making the game and what’s next, Siliconera spoke with Sunblink Chief Product Officer Chelsea Howe about the title. Jenni Lada, Siliconera: When did work on the other versions of Hello Kitty Island Adventure begin? Chelsea Howe, Sunblink: We knew we wanted to cover a broad range of form factors from the start, so multiplatform was always present in the back of our minds. Plus, many aspects of our Apple Arcade development, like optimizing for lower-spec devices, translated across all platforms. We worked with other teams with more specific platform knowledge to do the final development, which started in early 2024. What sorts of challenges did the team face when preparing the Hello Kitty Island Adventure Switch, PlayStation, and PC ports while also adding new content to the Apple Arcade version of the game? Howe : The biggest challenge had definitely been keeping timelines organized. Each platform has its own process for approvals, certifications, verifications, patches, and so on. The whole team has gone a bit cross-eyed back-tracking all of the dates based on each platform’s estimated times. Besides that, it was a matter of nailing the platform’s unique qualities: like getting controller input feeling rock solid for Nintendo Switch or getting Steam Deck Verified for PC. Images via Sunblink and Sanrio How will future development and updates for Hello Kitty Island Adventure work, considering there are seasonal events and you added additional characters and regions in the past? Howe : All platforms should get the same event content at the same time. We’ll be releasing free content updates prior to upcoming events to ensure that everyone is experiencing the story and rewards together. Characters and regions require more QA, and while we release storylines bit by bit on Apple Arcade, we’re cognizant of the difference in Nintendo Switch and PC audiences and would like to release things more holistically there. That, in addition to the aforementioned timeline differences, means the update cadence outside of events is likely to be staggered between platforms. When adding additional Hello Kitty Island Adventure characters, how did you pick which ones would be represented and how they will appear? Howe : There are two main sources of priority: Sanrio and Sanrio fans! Sanrio has characters they love to spotlight, but we also want to enable fans to befriend their favorite characters in the game. The latter means paying a lot of attention to the annual Sanrio rankings. It’s also a great excuse to peruse official merchandise and see what folks are most excited about. My Cinnamoroll plushie collection speaks for itself. What led to Usahana being picked as the City Town representative in Hello Kitty Island Adventure ? Howe : As more of City Town’s story comes out, the big reason will be revealed. For now, let’s just say that she was designed to bring joy, color, and happiness to office workers, so we took that to an even bigger extreme and made a whole city based around her vibrant look and feel. The whole design of City Town was based on flipping the usual grungy, dirty, busy city trope on its head and having something colorful, clean, optimistic and reflective of Usahana’s heart and spirit. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_6rFhAXSNHc&ab_channel=Sunblink Big Challenges is the most obscure Hello Kitty Island Adventure character so far. Who else would you also like to add to the game? Do characters like Spottie Dottie or Kirimichan have a chance of appearing? Howe : They suuuuuuuuuuure do! We have such a special place in our hearts for the expectation-defying characters like Kirimichan, Fresh Punch, or Nisetama-san. Nisetama-san is a friend of gudetama – a man literally dressed up as an egg yolk who dances around the world. We were able to spotlight him during Month of Meh last year and look forward to bringing other more niche characters to the game in similar ways that show off their uniqueness. Could we also see more unorthodox or crossover characters break in as Hello Kitty Island Adventure visitors? For example, perhaps someone like Yoshikitty or members from Show by Rock? Howe : At the moment, the red tape and licensing complexity mean we’re unable to add “collab” characters, as we call them. We have a ton of folks at our office who love Yoshikitty, or Adorozatorumary. My favorite is Gaopoweroo! But alas, it’s simply not to be. Perhaps if we’re successful enough, the collab partners will come to us asking for inclusion. We can dream, right? Images via Sanrio and Sunblink What did you learn as a developer by working on Hello Kitty Island Adventure over the past few years? Howe : We all learned way, way more about the world of Hello Kitty than we ever knew existed. Most of us were familiar with Hello Kitty, it’s hard not to be, but the quantity of Sanrio characters and decades of lore was unbelievable. Whether it was those niche characters like Big Challenges or the fact that Hello Kitty is not a cat, there was always something to surprise us. From a game perspective, we’ve learned a lot about mixing the cozy genre with the open world adventure genre. They have a huge overlap in audience, but some things rub the wrong way. Some cozy players want nothing to do with multiplayer, while some open-world players recoil whenever we have customization-based questing. Overall, we think we brought something new to both groups. In an ideal situation with no restrictions, what sort of biome or additional feature would you like to add to Hello Kitty Island Adventure ? Howe : HOW CAN I PICK JUST ONE?! I’d love a rainforest or jungle area that leaned more heavily into the puzzle caves – or a far future world that did similar. I’ve also always wanted an aspen forest, just because Sunblink is headquartered in Boulder, CO, and those forests—especially with their yellow leaves—are iconic. We also created a character named TOPHAT for the game, and I’ve always wondered what a world in his image would be like. How long do you think you’ll keep updating and adding new content to Hello Kitty Island Adventure ? Howe : While we have a roadmap that extends years ahead, it really depends on if folks are continuing to play the game! As long as we have an audience, it just makes sense for us to continue building out the world and enriching the mechanics. Hello Kitty Island Adventure is available on the Nintendo Switch, PC, and Apple Arcade. It will also come to the PS4 and PS5.

10 best apps for your Steam Deck The Steam Deck is a great way to enjoy gaming on the go, or even grab a quick game bite while lounging on the sofa. But what if we tell you your experience on the Deck could be made better through a couple of simple steps? Let's see what are the best apps for your Steam Deck. The best apps to improve your Steam Deck experience Keep in mind that most of the apps in our list can be installed by using the Discover menu, which can be accessed by heading to the "Power" section of your Steam Deck menu. Now select "Desktop mode," and you will be booted into a desktop-like environment. Click on the menu button in the bottom left and you can use the on-screen keyboard to search for any apps in the Discover section. Mozilla Firefox Image via Firefox Do we really need to explain this one? We think you have probably already used it on your computer or your mobile device. Firefox is one of the best browsers around, and while you might only use your Deck to browse the Steam marketplace, browsing websites would be quite difficult without a specific web browser. There are a lot of different ones you can try, such as Microsoft Edge and Opera, but we do believe Mozilla Firefox is still the best option. By using a web browser on the Deck, you can check a walkthrough and find useful information on a game you might need, such as how long to beat it. While, clearly, all web browsers do the same thing and work just as well on the Deck, other apps also require having one installed. For example, if you use Epic Games Store on the Heroic Launcher (see below), often you will need to confirm details in a browser window. Not having one installed means that the game will often freeze or exit without providing any details. Heroic Launcher Image via Heroic Launcher The Steam Deck, out of the box, is ready and willing to play all of your Steam games, of course. But what if you want to play games from the Epic Games Store, GoG, or any of the other storefronts? Doesn't seem doable, right? Wrong, it is and doesn't even require a lot of tinkering. Say hello to the Heroic Launcher, an app that you can install on your Deck and run just like one of the games in your Steam library. Once run, the Launcher can be configured to interface with several stores, such as the mentioned Epic Games Store, GoG, Ubisoft, and so on. But what if you have compatibility issues? No worries since, thanks to its built-in Wine Manager, you have a ton of different options and plugins to make games run even better. Heroic will also suggest which Proton versions to use if you are unsure. Heroic can easily double or triple your library of available games without even having to install an SD card. Lutris is also a good alternative. EmuDeck Image via EmuDeck Perhaps all the games available on Steam are not enough for you, or perhaps you want something older that you can't get anywhere else. Like that classic PlayStation platformer or that obscure PC Engine shoot 'em up. Enter EmuDeck, one of the best tools to allow you to play retro games on devices that weren't originally designed to play retro games, with additional features available to improve the experience. Clearly, the d-pad on the Deck would not be the best to play classic retro 8-bit games, but you can still give it a decent attempt. The Deck can run a lot of different consoles, including ones such as the NES, Super Nintendo, Nintendo 64, PlayStation, GameCube, and even more recent ones. But that's not all; if you have already used EmuDeck, then you can easily transfer your cloud saves over to the Deck so you won't lose that progress in Chrono Trigger . Also, if you have any good Bluetooth controllers, EmuDeck will allow you to quickly set them up for much more comfortable gameplay. This is a must-have for any retro fans. Discord Image via Discord Again, we probably don't think we need to thoroughly explain this one. Chances are that you are already using it to communicate with your friends or other users, along with having joined one (or more) of its millions of servers. Naturally, the app becomes even more necessary if you are going to play any cross-platform titles and want to stay in touch with your friends. Or, perhaps you want everyone on your friends list to know what game you are currently playing. While the app is not as easy to recommend as it once was because of more and more bloatware, not to mention many interesting features now locked behind a paywall, it is still easy to install and use. Also, while there are alternatives to Discord, such as Skype, chances are all your friends will already use it anyway. Perhaps it would make more sense to use Discord on your phone or other mobile device, but switching apps on the Deck is easy, just via a long press of the "Steam" button. Chiaki4deck Image via Reddit Have you been greedily eyeing the PlayStation Portal, thinking you don't really want to spend that kind of money on a simple streaming device? Well, you are in luck because with a Deck, you can get an experience that is quite similar and, many users swear, even better than Sony's expensive portable device. Enter Chiaki4deck, an app that you can use to stream PS5 games directly from your console to your portable Steam device. The app ran into some problems at first, with users complaining about the app's performance degrading in a few minutes. But luckily, this issue seems to have been fixed, so you can go ahead and try Chiaki4deck for yourself. While Chiaki does require a bit of customization before running it, as it might not work perfectly out of the box, once it's set up, it is very easy to use and should guarantee efficient performance with any game. If you are looking to stream Xbox games, try XBPlay instead. Moonlight Image via Moonlight app Since we are on the topic of streaming games, Steam already provides its own specific app to stream games from your PC: Steam Link. This usually works quite well, but many users have problems with its performance. So, if you are unsure if Link is the ideal streaming app for you, then you'll be happy to know there is a free alternative you can try out. Plus, Moonlight, as opposed to Link, supports HDR natively and can improve latency if you have been having issues. Installing Moonlight requires a couple of more steps than usual, as you need to install Sunshine first. Sunshine provides the server from which the games will be streamed. You can do this, as always, by using the Discovery section of the menu in Desktop mode. Once they are both installed, the setup for Moonlight is easy and mostly painless, and you will be streaming games from your PC in no time, having a great experience while saving battery life. Decky Loader Image via Decky Loader Wondering how to customize your Deck beyond buying a silly-looking silicone cover? By using Decky Loader, you can choose from a vast selection of plugins and scripts that will not only change the looks of your Deck but also improve how you use it. For example, do you want to add NES sounds to your Deck or perhaps show off some tasty Windows 95 wallpapers? You can do it really easily through a huge free library of items. But wait, there's more! You can also use the app to look up and apply the recommended settings for any game in your library automatically. Plus, by using Decky Recorder, you can easily record gameplay footage that you can upload to Steam or use for your Let's Play YouTube channel. Also, look up FAQs easily and see many useful details on each game you have. Decky Loader will improve your life as a Deck user, no doubt about that. Foliate Image via Foliate Why not take a break between playing your favorite games with a good book? While that might not sound like the most engaging proposal, reading a book on the Steam Deck is feasible thanks to its great screen. Also, by bringing your Deck with you, you can consider leaving your Kindle or ebook reader at home, which will definitely save you a bit of hassle. So, if you would like to think of your Deck as an all-in-one platform to read, play, and even watch movies (see below), then head over to the Discovery section of the Desktop mode. Foliate, along with other apps that you can find, such as Sigil and Bookworm, will do the heavy lifting and leave you to your reading. Foliate includes handy features such as different reading modes (paginated and scrolled), font customization, light/sepia/dark modes, and a useful progress slider so you can keep track of where you left off. Whoever said that reading is the enemy of gaming? VLC (Videolan) Image via Videolan Sure, streaming is still the easiest way to access content on any device you currently own or are thinking of buying. But if you possess a digital collection of media, perhaps a leftover from your iPod days, or maybe you would like to watch on the Deck those old Vines you made as a kid, then VLC is the app you need. It will allow you to play any kind of media content transferred to the system or loaded from an SD card. Naturally, VLC (or VideoLan) is not the only app that you can install on the Deck. You can easily find other media players, such as Kodi or MX Player; it is just a matter of preference since all of them do the same thing. Also, these apps support streaming from another source, so you can watch content directly from your computer or cast a video from the Deck to another device (such as your Google Cast). If you have been dreaming of a DRM-free world, then this is your first step into a wider universe. ProtonUp-Qt Image via ProtonUp-QT This might be a bit more for the "option nerds" among you, but hear us out. If you have been playing games in non-native Steam mode, perhaps because you are a retro fan or indie games downloaded from Itch, then ProtonUp-Qt will be a powerful help. This app will let you not only install several GE-Proton versions but also customize them through compatibility options within SteamOS. This will greatly improve game compatibility in case you have been running into problems trying to run anything outside of the store. Find the tool in the Discover store, then run it in Desktop mode to get an interface with which you can install more compatibility options. If you are not planning to run anything outside of the Steam store, then ProtonUp-Qt is probably not needed, but thanks to its ease of use and accessibility, it is still a great app to keep handy.

Final Fantasy VII Rebirth Runs Well on a Handheld Gaming PC The PC release isn’t just the first opportunity for various graphical enhancements for Final Fantasy VII Rebirth , as it also marks our chance to run the latest FFVII remake trilogy game on a handheld gaming PC like a Steam Deck. Square Enix even announced it was part of the company’s mission to get it running on that by launch, which it achieved . I spent all of my time with the latest version on a Lenovo Legion Go and, while does need a little finagling to get it in a place a player might like, I found that this fantastic JRPG worked much better than I expected it to. So the first part of any handheld gaming PC experience like a Steam Deck is going to involve the time spent waiting for all the shaders to load, and FFVII Rebirth is no exception. The first time you play, it’s going to take a bit of time! The thing is, I found it took less time than Dragon Age: The Veilguard to get itself set up. Rather, it was a little more similar to what I expect when I start an Infinity Nikki session. Subsequent sessions were shorter, of course. But it was off to an encouraging start to see it make that sort of progress quickly and not find myself worrying if the game was freezing on me during the process. When I first started playing FFVII Rebirth on my Lenovo Legion Go, it defaulted to the Medium quality, which is about at the Recommended benchmark display and stats for the game. So this meant it was running at 60fps and with a 1920x1080 resolution. Now, initially we’re only faced with a bevy of cutscenes. These ran well on my handheld, as you’d expect! Once I had full control of my character both in Midgar and Nibelheim, I did notice a little bit of disruption, especially when a lot of people are around. But it did feel playable. It wasn’t running at its best , but it worked . https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TO-Fnjkt2iA&ab_channel=FINALFANTASY That experiment done, I immediately dropped down to the Low settings to see the sort of difference that would make. For reference, the resolution remains the same at that point, but the framerate drops to 30. I noticed this made a big difference in terms of heading into areas with a lot of moving parts to them or situations when Cloud and his crew would be facing greater numbers of enemies who might have had flashier attacks. At this default setting, I felt like I was getting the general FFVII Rebirth Steam Deck experience on my Lenovo Legion Go. However, as is true of nearly any PC game, I found the best way to experience FFVII Rebirth was to play around with the settings to tailor it to what my computer was capable of handling. Here are some of the settings I used that worked best for me. My goal was performance and enjoying myself, rather than prioritizing the appearance of the game. Display Mode: Borderless Full Screen Framerate: 30 FPS Display Sync Technology : V-Sync Brightness: 0 Graphics Quality: Custom Dynamic Resolution Scaling (Maximum) : 66% Dynamic Resolution Scaling (Minimum): 33% Background Model Detail : Medium Ocean Detail: Medium Character Model Detail: High Effect Details: Low Texture Resolution: Medium Shadow Quality: Low Fog Quality: Low Anti-Aliasing Method: TAAU Characters Displayed: 3 Character Shadow Display Distance: 5 Low-Resolution Font : Disabled Keep in mind, you could play around with the settings even more and have it work to suit your needs. I was going with an option that I wouldn’t need to constantly fiddle with, so I could quickly go through a game I’d already played before in a new way. So if you prioritize appearances, you could probably make additional adjustments and have it still work and run well on a handheld gaming PC. I do recommend dropping down to 30 FPS, as that helped my playthrough quite a lot. As for actual gameplay, I feel like FFVII Rebirth is the perfect Final Fantasy VII remake installment or entry to play on a handheld gaming PC like a Steam Deck or Lenovo Legion Go. There are so many “distractions” in it that are suited to pick-up-and-play experiences. I adored Queen’s Blood the first time around, and I’m spending even more time making sure I don’t miss any cards because I can hop into it at any time. My play sessions during my time with it were shorter, often letting me play through a side quest or mainline mission for an hour or two before I moved on to something else. Which also worked out well, as the intensive nature of the game meant it ate up more of my device’s battery than a game like Fields of Mistria . I found I was taking my time and enjoying the moments more because I could play it on a portable device. So yes, Final Fantasy VII Rebirth might not be able to be at its absolute best and taking advantage of all the graphical and performance upgrades when on a handheld gaming PC like a Steam Deck or Lenovo Legion Go, but it also ran much better than I expected considering the specs and possibilities . While I didn’t stick with it running at Medium on my Legion Go, I absolutely had a lot of fun going through the world and satiating my Queen’s Blood obsession on Low or with custom settings. FFVII Rebirth is an admirable entry in the Final Fantasy series, and it’s definitely helping set the bar high for the third entry in the remake trilogy. Final Fantasy VII Rebirth PC version will debut on January 23, 2025 , and it runs well on a Lenovo Legion Go handheld gaming PC. It is also available on the PS5.
