We're getting towards the mid-point of the year, and (unless I've missed it) I can't seem to find a thread for discussing what our favourite games of the year have been.

So, what have been your favourite gaming experiences so far?

Toss-up between Street Fighter 6 and Diablo 4!

Both are excellent, really. No game is perfect but I've enjoyed my time with these two so far.

My ROG Ally arrived earlier this week as well, and I gotta say, being to play these games in handheld form ups the novelty a bit - leading to even more playtime.

I've been LOVING SF6. It's the first fighting game that has ever truly clicked with me.

I really need to pick up Diablo 4, but I'm spoiled by Diablo 3 on the Switch for portable play while my wife watches TV. I'd love to get D4 on the Steam Deck, but the setup seems a bit intimidating, and I'd worry that future updates would break it.

Yeah I've installed Bnet on the Steam Deck using Lutris and I agree it's not a very intuitive process. Lutris does its best but there are still some things you will have to look up.

There's another script that's rising in popularity, NonSteamLaunchers, which aims to automate this process for you. I haven't tried it but the people who have, have said that it's easy. I'd suggest giving it a try.

D4 on gamepad is VERY playable. I'm glad Blizzard learned from their experience of releasing D3 on consoles and implemented those on D4. Obviously MnK is still faster for some actions, particularly inventory management, but you can really play the game without feeling like you're hampering yourself.
