[Discussion] What games are you playing on your deck? - November 2023

Spider-Man:Miles Morales. Hopefully by the time I beat it Spider-Man 2 will be on Steam and Deck Verified

I've started a new playthrough of Fallout New Vegas. Never got round to finishing it last time, so hopefully will do now! So far I've added some stability mods and a new radio station. Anyone got any other mod recommendations?

My Steam Deck is a "Baba is me" machine right now, most of the time. It is a neat little puzzle game to play while sitting on the couch.

Deck is currently being borrowed by my dad to play Zero Dawn, but last I had it, I was using it for Final Fantasy VII Intergrade.

This is so dumb, but:

The new Forza Motorsport has a system where you have to drive a car for like 3 hours before you’re able to upgrade all of the parts on it. Regardless of how many credits you have.

So I’ve been using xCloud to “play” Forza with all of the driving assists on—accelerating, braking, shifting, all of it—just to level up cars to the point I unlock all of the upgrades to that car. (Offline, of course. Not gonna mess up someone else’s game because of Microsoft’s weird ideas on progression.)

So “AFK racing” has been running on my Deck more than any other game this week.

Dave the diver, casual enough to play just before going to sleep.

Dragon's Dogma: Dark Arisen I just wanted to see how well it ran (decently enough, a few more stutters / slowdowns than I hoped but certainly playable) and now it has been the main game I've played for several weeks 😅 Game is fun :b

Finally got around to playing Carrion. It's a great game for the deck and is a massive amount of fun.

Spiritfarer, which looks like it’s related to Stardew Valley, but turns pretty damn dark at times. Also Baldur’s Gate 3, Stray and Hollow Knight.

BG3 really needs to be played plugged in as it eats battery like crazy and also helps with a bigger screen. At which point I might as well go down to the big computer.

I hope to play some more Baldur's Gate III. I'll probably stream it from my main computer since the fan noise is so loud otherwise. It's been a while since tried to run it on the Steam Deck so there might have been some updates, gonna try it again! I'll probably make some progress in Stardew Valley and Hades too, both wonderful games for the Deck!

Tomb raider 2013. Doing solo at 100%

Just started playing Slime Rancher and it's a pretty fun relaxing game. I picked up Slime Rancher 2 as well but am waiting until I finish the first game to start playing it again.

Binding of isaac

Factorio and I just picked up a game called Outpath (similar to Forager, but in 3d! and other minor changes).

A friend got me into Honkai Star Rail, so that's been taking up most of my time.

Other than that, I've also been playing Black Mesa and Trolley Delayma which is a free little trolley problem game.

I'm still putting off Baldur's Gate 3 hoping for FSR 2 to be added, but with silence from the devs on when/if that's being added, I'll probably go ahead and start playing it soon.

Mine has mostly become a YouTube player for my kid. It also runs Roblox, and the occasional Counter-Strike 2.

Trails into Reverie. Then onto Kuro No Kiseki.

still vampire survivors 😵‍💫

Ni No Kuni II. It's a fun RPG that's easy to put down and come back to when you have time. The combat is fun too, though the voice overs are a bit distracting.

Currently going through every Metroidvania Castlevania posterior to Symphony, went through the Advance Collection and had to resort to emulation for the NDS ones, currently on Portrait of Ruin. After that we'll see.

Still Baldur's Gate 3. And a little bit of Untitled Goose Game on the side.

Been rocking out with Songs of Syx, a rather fun little city builder/colony management/4X mashup. Gotta admit I’m getting back into strategy games with the touchpad lol

Slowly getting through Lego Bricktales. Building on a flatscreen isn't as satisfying as the real thing, but it's a nice little game to play on Deck.

Baldur's Gate 3, mostly. But I've been playing Pathfinder Wrath of The Righteous when the others in the group I play with can't play.

Oh, and some Cities Skylines II here and there. Works reasonably well with the controller, but it's not perfect.

I recently discovered Tinykin, neat little game.

Played most of COCOON during a recent airplane round-trip. Also started Pocket Mirror, I got an RPG Maker fever after playing Corpse Party.

been playing West of loathing and shadows over loathing lately. Fun and stupid, nice to be able to play them on deck

Just finished shadow of Mordor yesterday and it was fun, and worked perfect on the deck. Today I started Darkwood, seems to be working reasonably well so far, although the run versus walk controls are a little clunky, but overall no big issues just an hour in to it

Replaying Spider-man and Miles Morales in preparation for SM2 on the PS5

Haven't used my Deck in a while, but yesterday I played Overwatch on it. New gf plays on console, so she was on Switch and I was on Deck. I'm not good at controller Overwatch but after a few games I felt like I wasn't a complete drag on our team at least.

High on life since I don't get to play much but have a marginal stack of games to get through. Good game so far and very witty

Still Lonely Mountains: Downhill And newly bought Warhammer 40,000: Boltgun

Metal Gear Solid

Hollow Knight.

I started playing it at the start of this week, and have been completely hooked into it.

What I find pleasantly surprising is that I gave the game a few chances over the years, but it just didn’t click. Perhaps as I was playing on a PS, and I find it very odd to play platformers and similar games on it.

No Man's Sky for few months now.

Also started Hellblade, its very easy to get stuck in that game it seems
