Dave the Diver. It's not only the perfect Steam Deck game, it's contender for indie game of the year. There's just so much content and it's all so good!
No Man's Sky, lots of No Man's Sky this last month. Monster Hunter World is installed and ready to go... but I just need to finish something in No Man's Sky first.
For a smaller Indie title, I was playing Aground before the latest NMS community expedition.
My daughter has been borrowing it to play The Lake, and my son and I have been playing Nickelodeon Brawl and Nickelodeon Carts on it.
Tomb Raider because 3,60 € was a no-brainer. Ended up buying the whole series in sale...
- Risk of Rain 2
- Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney Trilogy
- Brotato
- 20 Minutes Till Dawn
- Broforce
- Cats Organized Neatly
- Ever Seen a Cat 2
- Call of Juarez
- Postal 2
- ...and of course, Hades
I'm seriously addicted to Dave The Diver at the moment.
I am enjoying my first Horizon Zero Dawn run. I am amazed by the graphics that I am able to squeeze out of the steam deck
Witcher 3 almost exclusively for a few months now.
I‘ve been playing around alot but I enjoy horror and survival horror a lot more on deck than on pc/console
Evoland, Final Fantasy Crisis Core, Dragonball Kakarot, and Resident Evil Villiage. Working on my backlog, and these are all great.
Art of rally
Diablo 4. I was not planning on buying it, but since it works so well on StemDeck I caved in, and I'm having a blast. I love playing it while in bed.
Working on Octopath Traveler 2 and Persona 5 Royal right now.
Just finished Doom 2016. Really fun and also to train gyro aiming. Started Wolfenstein new order, but I'm kinda not hooked, probably because gameplay is slower then Doom. Got Dandy Ace in the sale, may just play that for a while.
Also finished Cult of the lamb and tomb raider earlier.
Itching to get diablo 4, but then I won't play anything else and I still have many games I want to try/finish.
Just finished South Park Stick of Truth, now moving on to Fracture but Whole. They play really well on the deck and had them in my backlog.
Also just picked up Dave the Diver, so looking forward to give that a spin.
Vampire Survivors just keeps drawing me back
That and Hades with a side of Nuclear Throne
I’ve been playing Zelda ToTK, and can’t get enough. I absolutely love how far emulation has come.
Spark the Electric Jester 2/3 are sick af!
Protodroid Delta is super fun!
Hotshot racing is a blast from the past despite requiring being online to even start for no reason.
Battlebit Remastered, but I do have a work pc incase they introduce the new anti-cheat to protect servers from DDOS.
I'm also thinking of getting into Ridge Racer for the first time, but MAN the car turning is WEIRD. Makes me want to start NFS Underground.
Diablo 4 and Project Zomboid. Playing these games with a controller is an amazing experience. Took me a while to get used to with Zomboid tho.
I cannot recommend portal reloaded enough. It's just gotten a co op mode.
Playing a ton of Diablo IV - runs great, but I’m still on a quest to find the most optimal (for me) settings. And I just picked up Horizon Chase, Dredge, and Dave the Diver. I’ve played a few races in Horizon Chase and am debating between starting one of the other two. But between ToTK on my Switch and D4, it’s hard to make the time for everything I want to enjoy!
Cult of the Lamb is an amazing roguelike / messed up animal crossing mashup
Mostly easy going and lighthearted games: Omno, Lil Gator Game, FAR: Lone Sails, Alba: a wildlife adventure, Lego Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga, Art of Rally. Next: Planet of Lana.
Mostly Diablo 4. Game plays great on it.
Also been busy with cult of the lamb and a bit of Cuphead.
Diablo 4
Star Realms
Dead Cells
Noita (700 hours on this bad boy thanks to COVID)
GTA V
Skull the Hero Slayer
Spider-man remastered
- Diablo IV
- No Man's Sky
- Gta V
- Time Loader (got it cheap from Fanatical.com)
- Door Kickers - Action Squad
- Diablo 4: plays great on Deck and is the perfect way to kill time during lunch break.
- DROP - System Breach: surprisingly tense hacking puzzle/pattern recognition game. Sleeper hit for me.
- Humanity: Lemmings meets Robo Rally, but designed by the Rez/Tetris Effect people.
Hades. Like 80 hours of Hades
Tape to Tape hockey has getting my most play time. Perfect deck game.
Cassette beasts, daemon x machina, remnant from the ashes, caves of QUD, and various yuzu roms to see how they run (shockingly well).
GTA 5, world of tanks, simrail, NFS underground 2 and have dabbled with assetto corsa running on proton (little bit wack and doesnt run content manager yet)
I picked up Ruined King and Midnight Suns at 50/60% off respectively. Haven't played MS yet, but ruined King is cool so far. I've never played league of legends so I know absolutely nothing about the characters, but the game play is solid. Similar to Battlechasers (same devs!) But a lot more refined and polished.
Just finished replaying FFIX (moguri mod) and FF7 New Threat 2.0. Now I'm playing Cosmoteer and Dave the Diver
Diablo and Dave the Diver!
D4. It runs so smooth on it.
Diablo 4. I have actually played from 1-62 as a druid so far on Steam Deck and it's been a fantastic way to experience the game.
Persona 5 Royal
Dying light. I bought it on sale years ago and couldn't really get into it. I think the combat just takes a while to get into. Plus, I don't think it's really meant for keyboard and mouse.
I love it on the deck. It runs great and looks amazing for an 8 yr old game.
Skyrim (two-handed Orc barbarian/bandit that despises magic, so goes out of his way to not use anything enchanted and kill magic users) and Fallout 3 for the first time to hold off my Starfield hype (on Series X)
Also bought a ton of rogue-likes this weekend from the sale - Hades, Risk of Rain 2, Slay the Spire, and Dead Cells. Never played Hades until now and it's amazing, of course. The rest I've played a bit, but not a ton for each of them, so it's fun getting into them all. I think these style games are some of the best for the Deck.
Too much farming simulator
I'm on an Ally, but similar stuff.
- Planet of Lana - It's Limbo but less depressing.
- Tinykin - A platformer with a dash of Pikmin. Like, a very small dash. Some reviews way overplay the Pikmin aspect. It's more of a collectathon platformer, and the Tinykin are more or less just abilities you need to collect in every level. There's no strategy and you're not at risk of losing them unnecessarily. There's enough to collect everything in every level. I loved the game, but it's not Pikmin.
- Pokemon Luminescent Platinum - It's a BDSP (specifically BD) mod that makes the games Platinum with some additional QoL stuff like a built in level cap so you don't get overpowered, additional moves and Pokemon, and just a ton of stuff. It's very good.
I snagged Marvel Midnight Suns two days ago and I am HOOKED. I love card builder roguelites and this game added another layer of interactivity with 3D positioning and environmental attacks.
I also adore the Persona style relationship sim going on. A big part of why I love the MCU is the personality and relationships between characters, so having the Persona r/ship sim going on is a perfect addition to the game!
Recently played Axiom Verge 1&2 and currently playing Hollow Knight.
Just picked up Sekiro in the summer sale. Hope my LB survives 😂
Troubleshooter: Abandoned Children.
The story is nonsense, the art style is meh, the translation is challenging.
But goddamn the combat and build variety/experimentation is through the roof.
All I've been wanting to play lately are trpgs. And after having finished most of the major players in the genre (Shadowrun Trilogy, X-Coms, Wasteland 3, Pillars, Mechanics, Midnight Suns, Daemonhunters, Rome, etc.) I've been really starved for passable games.
I feel like Troubleshooter can stand with the best of them. I'm like 50 hours in and don't feel like I've even scratched the surface.
Can't wait til Showgunners drops in price a bit and Broken Roads / Lamplighter's League comes out.
The last game I've played on the deck is The Lake. Tried some Apico too, but I don't understand the goal in that game.
Burnout paradise
Tears of the Kingdom and Brotato.
Tunic
Brotato
Anno Mutationem
I'm loving bringing party games with me, been introducing a lot of folks to Stick Fight, Jackbox, Death Road to Canada, Broforce, and Lovers in a Dangerous SpacetimeTons of Days Gone. So sick of open world games but this has consumed me
I picked up Library of Ruina for the summer sale. My God what have I gotten myself into?
PS2 God of War 1&2 lately. Also some Cult of the Lamb and Don't Starve Together.
Cassette beasts was a surprisingly fantastic pokemon clone. I'd take it over any pokemon game tbh.
Aside from that, my mainstays are:
- Dead Cells
- Hades
- Emulation
Circuit Superstars and Cook, Serve, Delicious!
Circuit Superstars and Cook, Serve, Delicious!
Sun Haven has been a lot of fun, controls can get a little weird though.
Played through most of the System Shock remake, currently playing through Deus Ex (the original).
FFVII & Voidigo
Just finished horizon zero dawn, now playing Metroid prime remastered
Summer Sale! Just picked up Castle Crashers, Sable, Grounded and Tunic... Oh, and the freebie demo of En Garde!
Deeply addicted to Monster Train after picking it up on the sale
Yakuza 6. It can't reach 60 FPS, but if you cap it to 30 it's pretty stable and only needs like 15W, despite looking pretty nice. I'd want to play System Shock on the Deck, but the devs are too dumb to figure out how cloud saving works, so alas.
Been playing Brotato and Traveler's Rest most recently, but really want to get back to Yakuza 0 and Spiritfarer.
I've been playing a lot of RedOut2 and Before We leave.
Just some Mk8 deluxe & Bloons TD6. Need to finish Jedi Fallen Order & Tears of the Kingdom, but mastering inside drift is too good to pass up lol
For me it's been XCOM 2, and now Skyrim. As well as Elden Ring a bit.
I've been playing resident evil revelations 2. It's actually really good on the deck
Half life 2 Stardew valley 64 roms
Docked: Final Fantasy XII: The Zodiac Age. Perfect for laying in bed, has a near auto-battle combat system between cutscenes that i can enjoy comfortably.
Undocked: Persona 2: Innocent Sin. I'm trying to get all the achievements via RetroAchievements and am at the point where it's just grinding so it works elegantly for those random chances I find to put some playtime in. I played through the story, which was great btw, mostly docked.
The Witcher 3, Cult of the Lamb, and MMBN Legacy Collection.
Recently I've been cruising though Sludge Life
Mars First Logistics
Spirit Hunter NG, mainly. It's a Visual Novel. It's not Deck verified but it runs flawlessly. 6 hours in. The story is so far interesting.
Every now and then I fire up Megaman Legacy Collection. Finished MM1 and now I'm in the robots re-fights.
On weekends I play Street Fighter 6
Roots of Pacha (caveman style Stardew), Disgaea 5 and Octopath 2
Sorry for double post, can’t figure out how to delete
Rocket League through heroic games launcher
