Steam Deck

Path of Exile. It's been great on the Steam Deck and I'm going through the last few days of this league. Once that finishes I'll start putting a lot more time into Street Fighter 6 (with the compact portable hitbox controller I made) and some Eldest Souls on the side.

Just finished Doom 2016. Runs smooth as silk, and the controls are great. Just starting Hollow Knight now.

Diablo and Dave the Diver

I have a Diablo 4 addiction. It runs surprisingly well on my Deck. Only problem is it requires the internet, so I can't play it anywhere outside of the house.

Dave the diver. Game keeps so surprising me, its so good! 30 hours in and it feels like i just started, works flawless on the deck aswell.

I’ve been playing quite a bit of Morrowind.

I've been playing a lot of No Man's Sky, but just picked up Shadows of Doubt and have been having a blast with that.

Shadows of Doubt has a weird bug ~~where loading into the initial menu takes several minutes instead of a few seconds.~~ Edit: Update came out today that fixed this! Haven't figured out why yet, but the developer is working on a fix and the game runs pretty decently outside of that. Using a community control scheme is recommended because the default controller scheme leaves something to be desired.

Just started Witcher 3. Had no idea what I was missing.

BG3...soon. :)

I'm hoping to get a chance to start Elden Ring and Middle Earth Shadow of War this weekend

Grim Fandango! The Steam Deck is perfect for finally tackling my backlog of older games. Also finished 198X recently which was short but good.

Finished Dave the Diver, loved it!

Now playing Halls of Torment, have played and finished Vampire Hunters, HOT is a bit different, I miss the swinging music of VH. that said it's fun to figure out and explore HOT.

Stardew valley, mini motorways, Mario kart 8 and subnautica.

Link's Awakening on my spare time. I've also spent several hours modding Skyrim, eager to see how that turns out

Track mania. It’s a little addictive. Though I’m not good enough to participate in the online events, yet.

Blasphemous right now. Plays excel·lent bar some issues with resolution. Changing resolution can result in the game freezing when doing an attack, and it keeps happening even if you relaunch the game. I found somewhere that shutting off and on the deck solves it, and it's true.

As for gameplay having downed three bosses (+ the tutorial one at the start), it's fun! Maybe too cryptic for my taste, I've had to open a guide a couple of times. But the gameplay it's tight and challenging.

Played again The Outer Worlds and DLCs a couple weeks back and preferred the deck experience over my first play-through on the XBox. Currently playing High on Life and I'm not really convinced, way to linear and controls are... not really optimal.

All time favorite: No Man's Sky, Stardew Valley, Witcher3

Like a Dragon: Ishin!

Being able to pause and resume at any time and from wherever I'm taking my steam deck has been fantastic for the whole Yakuza series. It has kind of become my dedicated Yakuza machine, lol.

Lost judgment will be next!

I can't stop playing brotato. I say I'll do one more then another hour passes.

Sacred RPG black edition, finding the community keyboard layout surprisingly easy to use, I'm almost ready to say I wish the keyboard would go to the touchpads in game instead of bringing up the keyboard overlay to enter text.

Inscryption, but I'm not sure how much more I can inflict on myself, starting over continually is just so frustrating, especially when the early game options are so few and I can easily see a loss coming.

One of these days I'll get around up red dead redemption 2 or the Witcher 3, I've got about an hour into both of them.

Mini metro and mini motorways, as well as dwarf romantik, such great ways to lull into slumber.

I recently went full m+kb and have been playing 4x games, age of wonders 3, civ 5 and 6, and Warhammer Total war 2, they all run great on the deck!

I lately I’ve been playing elden ring since I got it on sale but before that I mostly used it to emulate a bunch of older titles. Love the consoles versatility

Been playing the guardians of the Galaxy game on it. It's a blast

I am somewhat of a patient gamer so I tend to focus on few years old games.

Currently playing Valkyria Chronicles which works pretty well on deck ( I hate how finicky accurate aiming is ). Non-interactive visual novel storytelling and turn based combat puzzles works really well for short periodic gaming moments.

Just finished Salt & Sanctuary and the remastered Grim Fandango. Both great on deck and good games overall

Dead cells
Got it in the summer sales and the deck is a great way to play it

Steamworld Heist and Olli Olli World. They fit what I want to play on the Deck: bite sized, good for lounging, a little more simple than what I want to play when I'm sitting at my desktop.

Just finished Lone Fungus and started Haiku the Robot. Both great little 2D metroidvanias.

A healthy mix of:

• Borderlands 1. Still getting used to playing fps on a controller. But flickstick+gyro sure helps.
• Brotato
• 20 Minutes Till Dawn

ETA: also, I should put some more time in Tunic.

Thanks to the Baldur’s Gate 3 hype, decided to finally jump into a CRPG and went with Divinity Original Sin 2 DE after trying Pillars of Eternity DE. I tried before, but didn’t have the right mindset.

Loving DOS2 now!

I've been on a Binding of Isaac binge. I thought that I had my fill with it over the years but the deck has really put a new life into it. It's a perfect fit. And I am finding myself playing it again even on the desktop. I thought that I wasn't gonna need Repentence but I guess I will have to get it now.

Barony! It just had a big update release yesterday, part of which was a UI overhaul that made it much more playable with a controller. Runs flawlessly on the Deck with compatability set to Proton mode; prior to the update I had issues running the default native Linux version (text and textures were garbled) but have not tried on the new patch.

It is a roguelike that feels more like actual Rogue or Nethack than anything I have played in a while and has great co-op support. I was having lots of fun learning the game before the update and am excited to spend more time with it, if the voxel-y graphics are not a turn off I definitely recommend it! Works well for shorter play sessions.

I've just this evening started playing Hogwarts Legacy. Spent most of my time tweaking it to get it to run as well as I think it can do.

Kentucky Route Zero, quite a mythical experience I would say.

Stardew Valley and Halls of Torment

Been playing a bit of Close Combat 3: The Russian Front. Picked it up from the summer sale and I've been wanting to try this series for as long as I've known about it (I think I read about CC2 in a gaming mag when it was new). Fun game but not the easiest to get running and nobody seems to be playing the games in this series with Deck of even a controller so I didn't really find any controller mapping for it. WNot a huge issue since the game is fairly easy to control even with just a mouse.

I tend to play lots of strategy games and such that usually rely on the mouse quite a bit, the deck is such a great device for this use case.

Just finished up Assassin's Creed 2 - my all-time favorite game but first time playing since I had my Xbox 360. I remembered the free-running/parkour being a bit finicky but this time around it was just infuriating. Also had a hard time with some of the controls being bound correctly (navigating the map being the worst offender). I still recommend the game because the campaign, the modern day story, and the historical conspiracies sub-plot are just too good IMO. I just also found a good chunk of my time spent yelling at Ezio to jump where I wanted him to go.

Started up Dinkum for some casual play - just have an hour or so played but seems to be good so far. Not sure how much I'll play of it - I get kind of bored with this style of game. Looking for some pointers with getting started. (Same thing happened with Stardew Valley for me)

Spyro Reignited has been really fun to pickup for quick play sessions. I do get more stutters than I'd expect on the Deck when loading levels. Think my graphics are all set to medium so prob need to tinker to get those smoothed out. Definitely recommend this game though.

I just finished Tohu, Kraken academy and Killer Paradise.

Killer Paradise was really cool. All success unlocked.

Kraken Academy was good but the loop is a little boring and the plot easy to guess. Some jokes were funny. All success unlocked too.

Tohu was good despite easy puzzle and very short.

I’m going for Remnant from the ashes, and trying to push a little more into ghostwire tokyo, and i’m tempted by Disco Elysium on the Humble Choice this month.

Also i will try grime, and waiting to be with friends to coop on fury unleashed.

I'm finishing spider-man and will start miles morales after that

So, I got some games from the sale and slowly started playing them a little...

Slay the Spire seems to be quite liked, but it's not really my thing. Beat the game with three of the four characters I have access to and it still hasn't really "clicked". If somebody could explain to me what makes this game so (supposedly) great, maybe I'd be able to appreciate it a little better?

I also got Redout 2, because I really enjoyed the first part and thought the second should be at least as good. So far I like it, seems like a graphics upgrade and some gameplay enhancements from the first part. However, with ai assist disabled, the difficulty curve seems to be brutally steep. Also, even though I have only played like 8 tutorials and 3 campaign tracks so far, I have already had some issues with clipping through the course after jumps, which might turn into a rather annoying trait if it remains an issue. Still, would recommend. It's a beautiful antigravity racer with terrific "car" mechanics.

Apart from that, I got the gog version of Sid Meier's Alpha Centauri running (although the videos don't work). It's kind of my comfort game which I keep returning to.

Thps3 and pikmin 3.

Although I'm likely to buy baldursg gate 3 in a couple days once I've heard how it holds up

Nova Drift is a great asteroids rogue like.

Castlevania IV from the advance collection (and it's frustrating AF) trying to do all of the classic castlevanias but I may hang this one up and move on. I feel like I spend more time fighting the controls than the platforming.

About two hours into Chained Echos after finishing Cosmic Star Heroine. I always have to have a jrpg going.

@Fubarberry I recently started Hyperlight Drifter. Great game so far, but its pretty difficult.

Shadow of Mordor
