Steam Deck

Super Mario All Stars, just to spite Nintendo.

Untitled Goose Game. Silly fun.

I tried Satisfactory, but the controls just aren't (yet) made for a controller.

Dave the Diver!

Started playing Animal Well the other day. It's quite good.

Ghost of Tsushima and Kingdom Come: Deliverance. I finished the main story of both games yesterday but now I've got DLC to play.

RDR2, works so well on the Deck, kinda blows my mind.

• Balatro
• Peglin
• Some pokemon rom hacks
• Dragon quest monsters
• Necesse

It's been mostly Isaac as usual but I picked up Shotgun King: The Final Checkmate yesterday and I like it a lot. It's a fast-playing roguelite with a neat idea that's implemented well. The game mechanics remind me of Hoplite on mobile.

The game is currently on sale and has a free demo. It has good controller input and low resource use, a great fit for the Deck.

I told my friend when I got my Deck I wouldn't just use it as an emulation device...yeah I mostly use it for PCSX2

Been playing through Midnight Club 3 Remix the last week

ttyd switch, echoes of wisdom.

Nine Sols!

Who would've guessed a hand drawn 2D side scroller runs amazingly at 90Hz. That sound of parrying attacks coming out of deck's speaker is just so satisfying.

Rocket League, Stardew Valley, Dirt 4.

Nostalgia stuff: Crash Bandicoot PS1, Worms World Party PS1, NFL Street PS2, MX Superfly PS2, Midnight Club 3 DUB Edition PS2, probably some others

Sea of Stars went on sale and it's fantastic.

Arkham Knight, Max Payne 2, and this super complex game called Blender 3D in which I have made donuts.

A lot of Rocket League! Additionally I've been having a pretty good time with Star Trucker.

Then recently I've been streaming Helldivers 2 from my PC to my Deck while it's connected to the living room TV, which has been fun.

Alan Wake's American Nightmare. Just finished the story mode. It’s Steam Deck Verified, so it runs and plays well, and it’s easy to play with a controller because it has a bit of auto-aim/aim correction.

I did enjoy it. Not a must play by any means, but it does add to the lore of the Alan Wake series. If you are a fan of that game series, I recommend playing this. And if you aren’t, you probably should play the other games in the series. 😉

Currently I'm playing through Ready Or Not, the engine update and them adding FSR3.0 made the game playable at the best of times! However the Deck still freezes and crashes occasionally sadly.

Thronebreaker, Hogwards Legacy. I also started Bayonetta and recently finished (and real enjoyed) Hotline Miami 1 and 2. I tried Cyberpunk 2077 as well but my fps skills on a controller are so bad that it's just too stressful.

Thinking about buying one to play Project Zomboid on. Has anyone here done that? Happy with the experience?

Haven't been playing it much recently, but I've gotten to a point in Pokemon Unbreakable Ties where I'm stubbornly bashing my head against a wall to win a battle, so that's off the table for a while.

And the only other games I've actually played recently are Yooka-Laylee (only 2 levels in due to exploration and a lot of goofing around), Baba Is You, and Dungeons & Degenerate Gamblers. But I've only been playing a little bit since I've been busy enough.

Right now 9 sols

Forza Horizon 4 currently

went back in cyberpunk. restarted with the mod to make ability checks static to get rid of the. not enough tech, level to increase tech, check is now higher and not enough tech thing. Man I wish they would make an update where you could skip the whole shard memories playing as silverhands in arasaka bombing thing. It would help a lot in replayability since no matter what you do its the exact same experience.

Jusant is next on the list after Kingdom Come: Deliverance.

Still Elden Ring ( ...man if isn't big 🤩)

Persona 5 Reloaded!

The first Templar (received as a gift on GOG a few weeks back).

This week has been a bit of UFO 50 and Terra Memoria.

UFO 50 hasn't hooked me with a single specific game yet, but the entire package together is incredibly compelling and fun. It's just neat to hop in, play half an hour of a game that makes me think back to playing on my dad's NES, and then put it down for something else, much like how I played when I was 5 or 6.

I'm still very early on in Terra Memoria, but I think it's pretty neat! I like the combat system as they've introduced it so far, and it looks like there will be a lot of depth and choices to make in combat or team-building (maybe). Something about turn-based RPGs feel perfectly suited for the Deck.

Went back to playing Luck be a Landlord.

Horizon Zero Dawn

I really really like it, and I've been playing it in my learning language and I've learned so much from the rich dialogue and story elements.

Its in the same vain as hollow knight in terms of tight controls and skill based combat, with aspects of exploration.

I say this as a person who is not a fan of metroidvanias at large, nor dark souls games, but I'm a huge fan of souls-lights.

In between

God of war (lowest settings capped to 30 due to the memory leak)

Bad North

Mini metro

Forza horizon 4

Vampire survivors
