Here’s a look a few games that have recently graced the Steam Deck in either demo form or launch mode. So while they don’t deserve a full break down of what they offer, I think it would be worthwhile giving a summary of what we thought about them.
Dadum The Dice – Pablo Picazo
For our third quick round up of games, we’re looking at a game that you could vouch for as made to be covered on the website. A puzzle game involving dice? In Dadum you control a dice on a grid that contains other dice that have to be removed by having a higher number than them when you are in the next space. Cue a huge number of spatial puzzles when you are moving your dice around a grid trying to get them to roll around so they hit the right number to take out the opposition. It’s a polished delightful puzzler of a game that has one of those ‘just one more go’ feel to it and though sometimes you’ll think things are being unfair, deep down you’ll know that its actually because you’ve just been really bad at the game. It reminds me very much of the spatial games you used to get in arcades like ‘Plotting’, and you can’t just go into the game without stopping and thinking for a minute before you make that first move. Pretty impressed with this one and it will probably stay on the deck for future plays.
The views in this article are based on a version of the game provided to us by the designer and publisher. This version may be a demo, prelaunch or similar. We were not paid monetary compensation for this article. We give a general overview of the gameplay and so not all of the mechanical aspects of the game may be mentioned. Videogames are strange because the act of playing them will often cement if you want to keep playing them further. So we normally give a video game the benefit of the doubt and keep playing until we get an idea of what the game offers. Some games will not require a huge written piece to describe what they do and how they made us feel about them. We understand that behind every game is someone who has dedicated time, effort and money and so we'll often tell you about things that didn't gel with us instead of trashing someone's hard work. We hope this write up gives you an idea of whether or not this is something that you will consider playing or even add to your collection. Even if we don't like something, hopefully it helps you to decide if it is something that you should find out more about. We always suggest you check out a gameplay video to give you a better understanding of the game as it is played.
