[Game] Looking for Recommendations (infosec.pub)

Hey all,

Old time gamer here, haven’t played anything recent in years. Picked up a deck with the sale and looking to pick up a “premium” game. So far I am going back and forth between

Cyberpunk 2077
FFVII Remake
No Man’s Sky

I am not a huge fan of shooters and I know these three have more of an action gameplay style. I have Skyrim which I have played a tad on PC and could see myself playing that on the deck.

What I’d like is something I can pick up and play for an hour or less and put back down for a few days.

Things I’d love in a game

some level of replayability / open world content to mess around with
good story
good ambience / music

And obviously something that plays decent on the deck.

I am leaning on Cyberpunk even with reading and watching mixed-to-negative reviews.

Cyberpunk fits your three requirements, and you can play it as a non-shooter if you want. You can go melee if you like that, or play as a cyberdeck user who hacks the cyberware of your enemies instead of attacking them directly (can be really fun, or repetitive depending on what you like). I agree with @trankillity though, wait and see if there's a bundle with the new big DLC this fall. It is also going to be a massive overhaul of the game and bring tons of improvements.

Subnautica plays pretty good on the Steamdeck and is not a shooter.

If you like older RPGs and Skyrim but haven't played Oblivion, consider looking into how to install Oblivion on the steamdeck along with a major overhaul mod(s) for graphics and gameplay. Oblivion plays amazing on the steamdeck with the controller mod, and it barely uses battery. I can play hours more Oblivion than I can any modern game, and with a graphics overhaul it doesn't look that bad. Plenty of modern games look worse and still use up the battery in hours less time.
