Neva
Experience the moving tale of a young woman and her lifelong bond with a magnificent wolf as they embark on a thrilling adventure through a rapidly dying world.
Why on Deck
From the people who made GRIS (which is also on this list), Neva is one of the most visually stunning games you’ll ever play on a handheld. Every frame looks like a painting, and the OLED screen makes the colours absolutely sing. The story of Alba and her wolf companion unfolds through the seasons without a single word of dialogue, and honestly it hits harder in the intimate handheld format. It’s a short game (4 to 5 hours) which makes it perfect for a weekend playthrough on the Deck. Steam Deck HQ gave it their “Best on Deck” badge for a reason.
