Steam Deck is our weapon of choice for this $23 bundle with 16 Deck-friendly games

If you love playing games that offer an exciting adventure filled with puzzles and unique characters, then you might want to check out the new bundle from Fanatical. A bundle full of platformer and Metroidvania games if that sounds like your kind of thing.

The site launches new bundles from time to time, and they’ve introduced yet another one that features 16 games, all of which run well on the Steam Deck. Not only that, there is a ton of money to be saved.

What’s included in the Platformania bundle?

This new bundle is called Platformania, and its overall value is more than $290. But thanks to the offer, you can grab all 16 games for just $22.84. However, as it is a build-your-own bundle, you can also discard some games from it if you’ve already played them. This will further reduce the price.

Here’s every game included in the Platformania bundle and its Steam Deck compatibility status. Most of them are Verified, some are Playable, and a few run fine even though they’re listed as ‘Unsupported’ or ‘Unknown’ – remember, the Steam Deck verification system isn’t always perfect.

Are the games worth playing?

All the games included in the Platformania bundle are worth trying, and they’ll keep you engaged for weeks or months, depending on how much time you spend on them.

If you’re a big fan of Halloween, then you’ll instantly fall in love with Pumpkin Jack. In it, you take control of a Mythical Pumpkin Lord and fight through the cursed lands filled with powerful enemies. As you progress through the game, you’ll also meet new companions who will assist you on your journey. On top of that, you’ll also be tasked to solve different puzzles, which won’t be easy. Overall, it provides around 7 hours of content if you’re aiming for 100% completion.

Another game that you should give a try is ICEY. It is a 2D side-scrolling action game where you play as a character named Icey. Throughout the game, there will be a narrator constantly giving you instructions on what to do next. However, you can choose to either follow them or become a rebel; it’s totally up to you. The game can also be completed in around 3 hours – though you’ll need to spend around 3 more hours if you want to achieve 100% completion.

In case you want more games, Fanatical has a few more bundles. They recently launched an RPG bundle which offers 18 games for less than $25. There’s also a Bethesda bundle, which features 16 Steam Deck games for only $48.
