For me I'm currently trying to push my way through elden ring. But gosh it sure gets hard half way through, especially underleveled and offline. I need to find that mimic summon.
Other than that, cycling through local coop games like PlateUp. Any suggestions?
I finally got totk running on Yuzu at a playable setting. But I'm 2/3 of the way through it on my switch lite. So torn on starting fresh on the deck or just finish it on the lite. The screen is so small and crappy compared.
Deck itself just started Hi-fi Rush. Such a cool game.
Dicey Dungeons, Streets of Rogue, Enter The Gungeon (its default controls are kinda weird though); I played Cassette Beasts for about 10 hours but then I got bored.
+1 for Dicey Dungeons. Playing it on the Steam Deck might actually be the ideal format, too. I don't think I could have cleared the Witch campaign at all if I hadn't broken that up into dozens of micro-sessions.
One thing I will lament, however, is the Steam Deck's current poor support for Bluetooth headphones. Being forced to resync headphones constantly forces me to play on mute most of the time, but it's practically a crime against fun to play without the Dicey Dungeons soundtrack.
If you get a pair of bt headphones exclusively for the deck, they seem to stay paired in my experience.
As in, the headphones are only paired to the deck and nothing else.
But yeah, wired is still easier in 2023 :(
I've played that also and it honestly does super well.
I have been playing Alan Wake remastered
Trying to get through all the games in that universe before Alan Wake 2 releases.
I usually play DRG with a controller, the controls aren't bad! For the deck, I think it's okay, switching weapons can get a little crazy because of the d-pad placement. The ergonomics can get a little awkward when it gets fast paced because of that. I usually play with a buddy who is way better than I am at DRG, so my answers are probably pretty biased, hah.
I've been enjoying Diablo 4 on my Deck. Runs great and controls great.
Other than that I've been playing around with emulators to play some classic games I own that are not yet backwards compatible on my Xbox.
Pretty easy. You can install any launcher easily with this: https://github.com/...
For Diablo 4 you don't want the high res textures. Put the settings on medium and set the FPS to 45 and you're good to go.
For emulators you can easily install and set them up using https://www.emudeck.com/
I’ve been playing through Horizon Zero Dawn! Cryotools really helped stabilize the frame rate and I’ve been enjoying the crap out of it. I’m level 40 right now with about 25 hours in.
I was playing Fire Emblem Engage (Lunatic/Classic difficulty), but then I started replaying Disco Elysium and got hooked on that one all over again. I was pleasantly surprised by how well it controls on the Deck -- great way to kill time on the train!
Hmm... I'd say you really need at least 20 minutes of time to have a properly satisfying session with Disco Elysium. That's just fine for me because the train frequency in my city (Atlanta) is particularly shit, but results may vary otherwise.
One game I can recommend for play in short bursts is Slay the Spire. Even if you're just sitting down for five mintues, you can usually manage to get something accomplished and ascend a few nodes.
You can definitely play it in bits if you're able to follow the game log. It keeps track of all the conversations and bits that you need to remember.
There's no action in the game, so there's nothing you can't just put down and pick up later, as long as you can remember what you were in the process of doing or where you were going.
Been playing some minecraft java editiom, since the 1.20 update just dropped.
Monster Hunter Rise, Underhero, and I just bought Halo MCC for my first ever Halo playthrough.
I don't have time for longer SD sessions so I only play like once or twice a week now, but halfway through Persona 5 Strikers (with the audio bug on Proton, sadly) and I REALLY want to finish so I can get to NEO: The World Ends With You, ever since I beat the DS original. ...I end up procrastinating work with Youtube instead. Actually, for the past year or two, playing games feels like I'm being productive, comparative to scrolling online.
I mostly use mine when traveling so currently working on God of War II on the PS2 since i finished the first one recently on the Deck. I have Jak and Daxter and Sly Cooper queued up for later since I never got around to playing those before.
Edit: For Elden Ring bleed has really helped me on harder enemies. That and finding some good farming spots.
How is Car Mechanic on the Deck?
Works pretty smooth in my opinion. About the only noticeable change I see from desktop is it automatically moves to the next bolt when mounting or unmounting a part. Repairing parts and salvaging scrap is just slightly more difficult in my opinion, but that could just be a 'me' issue coming from keyboard/mouse and not use to controllers.
I've actually really gotten into the emulation scene, so I'm playing through Monster Hunter Freedom Unite and some Pokemon rom hacks rn. Also some Fallout New Vegas.
I'm playing Diablo 4, but not on Deck.
Right now I'm half way through Final Fantasy VII Remake. I never played the original but have always heard good things about it. I unfortunately already know the big plot point about a certain character but so far I'm invested in the story!
recently finished Demon’s Souls on ps3 emulator, it’s originally a 30fps game so it ran just fine on steam deck!
Into the breach. Such a simple yet perfectly thought out game, which you can easily sink a lot of hours into. It's also cheap.
I just bought it, and am absolutely loving the art style and gameplay. I'm excited to see how the mechanics get more complex as I progress. 1.5 hours in and I'm hooked!
Also, got the recommendation to buy it from the fediverse so that makes it even a bit more sweet!
Just got started on My Time at Sandrock after the cozy/family friendly games sales. It runs at a stable 30 FPS so far & I'm enjoying the game. Once SoS:aWL releases later this month, I'll be switching over though.
I'm currently playing Pokemon Renegade Platinum on Retrodeck.
I just started playing Far Cry 6. I also have Hogwarts Legacy and Tiny Tina's Wonderlands ready to go.
🎶 Let the water wash away your sins 🎶
Finished up the first Hotline Miami and just started Ape Out. Good with a controller and light power usage.
I've been working on Forza 5 Horizons and chilling with some Transport Fever 2. Both run really well.
Haven't tried any local coop games, but gaming via cellular hotspot in a bad signal area seems to be working out fine for games that don't need heavy bandwidth.
Been playing a lot of Cataclysm:DDA using Proton. It's a pain to get rhe controls set up but at least it's free.
new vegas, and a truly dope hockey roguelike (yes, you read that right) called tape to tape
Drakenguard 3 on rpcs3 I'm pretty impressed at how well it runs. I only had to change one audio setting to fix some crackling issues.
Also Pokemon infinite fusion when I'm looking for something more chill
Pokemon infinite is just a fanmade Pokemon game, it's got nothing to do with Nintendo and runs on PC natively. It looks and plays closer to Pokemon leaf green but with new mechanics and story
BotW currently (gotta finish that before TotK), with some breaks for SnowRunner. I need to get back into Elden Ring before I forget how to play!
I've been waiting for the time tracking plugin for non-Steam games to reappear as I care too much about statistics. It's taking some time though so I've instead taken a break from videogames instead, as it turns out.
Cassette Beasts is really fun but I've mostly caught everything now so I'm running out of motivation to finish, just like I always do with the actual Pokemon games.
A friend made me try Runescape (3, not Old School) a few months back for the first time in my life. Then they quit and left me hooked and alone, so I do a lot of late night grinding on the deck when I'm too tired for a proper game.
Chivalry 2 on the deck has become a comfort food for me too. No thoughts, just run in and get slaughtered vibes, then run in again.
