Steam Summer Sale starts tomorrow: What's on your wishlist for the Steam Deck?
3 years ago by cron to c/steamdeck
Got cult of the lamb in the last sale. Was really fun and ran well. A bit repetitive with managing the cult in my opinion. But there is an option to stop time while you are on crusade (and cooking without minigane. With that it was worth it :)
I heard there was a big update a couple of months ago - did that change much?
I wish - If that was the case I wouldn't be in this situation :'( My will power is not strong
I've never tried the Watch Dogs games - what do you think of Legion?
I'd say get WD2 over Legion. It's the best one out of the three.
While Legion has some interesting mechanics, it kinda feels half-baked. Didn't grip me as well as WD2 did. Unless you want a snarky British digital assistant talking to you (and I mean that endearingly), then absolutely get Legion.
Thanks! Have you tried WD2 on Steam Deck? I've just had a look at the ProtonDB page and there seem to be some issues (crashing due to a memory leak?)
Tunic is also on my wishlist. Crossing fingers!
https://store.steampowered.com/app/553420/TUNIC/ looks like our wish was granted :D
Yeah, Tunic on Switch is rough...
Interestingly I first played Dead Cells on switch and it seemed to run well, but that was a few years back at this point. Did an update tank performance or something?
Oh darn. Since I have a Steam Deck I've been wishlisting games like a mad man. It's going to hard to not buy new games. One of the reasons I got a Deck is that I want to clear out by backlog.
The endless cycle...
I am actually exactly the same đ Wishlist is exploding since getting the Deck, sadly time to game is not.
I'll be honest, I own so many games from the last sale that I'm probably going to sit this one out. I have something like 140 games, and of those the majority are on my backlog, so I won't be running out any time soon.
I am playing it right now! It was at 20% sale a few days ago. Don't know if it'll get even more discounted later.
It is nearly perfect for the deck. I only have a small grievance with moving things in the inventory. It takes a long while to step through the slots. But maybe I'm doing something wrong.
Depends what's on sale - but I'll buy Baldur's Gate 3 soon or at release, maybe Starfield too depending on performance.
I'd really love a game that's playable on the Steam Deck on the TV though, Rocket League and SpeedRunners has been great for this. Even moreso if it has local multiplayer.
BattleBit Remastered has been really fun with M+KB recently (and they backed down on the anti-Linux anticheat for now), I wish there were something similar for sports games just focussing on fun over realism, like the old SNES football and hockey games. Something like Mario Strikers but where you manage a team and their stats and abilities, etc.
There's also Old Time Hockey. Looks like a lot of fun, although I've never tried it
You might enjoy the Super Mega Baseball series. Worth a look, anyway.
Battlebit back down how? is there a link to a statement? last i read they only reverted to eac temporarily until they resolve some bugs with faceit
https://steamcommunity.com/...
However, since BattleBit is not competitive as CSGO or R6 etc, the restrictions become overkill for the majority of our player base, because of this, we are still investigating something in between EAC and FACEIT Anti Cheat in terms of requirements.
Thanks for that. Its not exactly a statement that they will choose a solution that maintains steam deck compatibility though
I'll buy the Dock if it's on sale. I might actually buy it anyways but might as well wait one day to see if I can save a few bucks.
I've put off buying it since honestly it feels a bit overpriced since you can get a hub that does pretty much the same job for 20âŹ.
Looks like it's on sale.. 20% off. I'm in doubt, not sure if I'm going to use it as much as I think.
Alright that's decent enough price. While you can get 3rd party Dock pretty cheap, counting in shipping and the power adapter, it rounds up to 70⏠for me. For 10⏠more I can get first party support, that's actually competitive value.
my wallet will implode
I've got 621 games in my Steam library. With Epic, PlayStation, GOG, Amazon, and Origin it's over 1000 games. So it's been fairly easy to ignore Steam sales for a while now. That said, for the past year I've found myself looking at my wishlist thinking, "What can I buy that would be a good fit for playing on the SteamDeck?" My resistance hasn't been as strong as it was.
I've bought far, far more PC games since I got my Steam Deck than I ever had before. This thing rocks
@JCreazy@midwest.social @chri1stian@lemmy.ml Prey is free on GOG via Prime, if you want to give it a shot on Windows or get GOG running on Deck.
I haven't heard much about that one. What excited you about it?
It's an awesome sci-fi horror FPS/RPG, with stealth and metroidvania elements. It's from Arkane, who made both Dishonored games.
The story and atmosphere are really good (don't look up spoilers if you intend to play it), there are multiple ways of reaching your objectives, and multiple endings according to your choices. The graphics and design are really nice.
Not a big fan of horror games in general but it's one of my favorite games of the last decade.
I haven't played it on the Steam Deck, so I can speak to its performance, but I really enjoyed this game. It's a whole lot of fun of you like mysterious, creepy games with some jump scares. I'd say its closest comparable is BioShock 1 & 2.
Infinite is a very different type of game than 1 & 2. I absolutely loved all 3 (1 and 3 more than 2 tbh). But if you really liked 1&2, you may not like infinite, and vice versa. 1&2 are dark and suspenseful. Infinite is well-lit and they stopped doing most of the jump scares. But the gameplay felt amazing and the story was a 10/10.
Probably can't expect much of a sale since it's still in early access, but Shadows of Doubt has captured my attention like few other games and I'm really looking for an excuse to pick it up.
All about indies at this point for me! I found these after slashing my wishlist in half!
. Rusted Moss . Roboquest . Protodroid DeLTA
Won't be on sale, but if you like city builders or similar stuff, try Factorio! It looks a bit weird and anachronistic at first but BOY is that ever an addictive game!
I already spent over 50 hours in it since I bought it several weeks ago. For comparison: I have about 200 hours in Cities: Skylines, one of my absolute favourite games ever!
I'm hoping some of the Zacktronics games go on sale. I wasn't able to play any of these before I got my deck last year and I've got some catching up to do.
Dark Souls 3. I've been waiting for a year for From Software games to get a discount again
50% Discount at Humble Store đ
Solid choice. Just finished it. DLC is not worth it though...
Dredge is great
I'm really hoping for decent sales on God of War or Kena: Bridge of Spirits.
Hi-Fi Rush, BallisticNG, Klonoa, TMNT: Shredder's Revenge, PowerWash Sim, Symphony, Invector: Rhythm Galaxy. Maybe Marble It Up too.
The rest are games that work better on PC (e.g. supports steering wheels, requires a beefy PC).
Going to buy Hunt: Showdown with my friend. We're burned out from PUBG and want to broaden our game choices.
Nothing probably. I have WAY too many games already. I had to force myself to cut down on just buying new ones instead of playing the ones I already have. I might treat myself to Baldur's Gate 3 in August tho.
I don't even know yet. I finally just got my Deck (showed up at my door yesterday) so it's all a whole new world for me at the moment lol.
Will happily take recommendations from people that have them to give, though!
I enjoyed Brotato on the deck, itâs a very good pick up and play title that works well with the deck. Vampire survivor is also good, but it has performance issues on the deck by the late game.
Final Fantasy X worked great on deck, so if itâs on sale and you like JRPGs Iâd recommend it
Cool, thank you! I've heard good things about Brotato and am definitely planning to check out both that and Vampire Survivors on Deck.
FFX is one I wouldn't have thought about - might be worth a try!
Stardew Valley is great on the deck, if you enjoy relaxing farm games.
No Man's Sky is pretty good on it too, specially when you get used with the gyro for aiming.
In my cart so far:
Downwell
DoDonPachi Resurrection
These two are mainly for my vertical arcade cabinet, which is occasionally powered by the steam deck. I should probably check if there are new pinball sales as well.
Dead Cells
Had this on Switch and I need to have it on SD.
Marvel's Midnight Suns
This is now -60% and I've been waiting for a sale. I didn't expect the price to drop this much for a such a new game, but I'm not complaining đ If the reviews are correct this a great game for turn based stategy buffs like me. And its by the same people that made the XCOM games. Can't wait to play this.
Hopefully nothing I want goes on sale. I have to cut back on my spending.
Although, I have $30 set aside for games every month, so you never know.
I don't have any particular games in mind, but I'm sure I'll pick up a few things. I've really been enjoying casual games lately - I just beat Defense Grid 1 and 2, and Monster Train, so I'm looking for something along those lines.
Cuphead, Control, Persona 5
Might have to see though, dont have much cash rn

To be honest I have plenty of games in my backlog to play. Buuuut if there are any really good deals on Tunic, Pizza Tower, Tetris Effect or Cult of the Lamb I maybe consider them.
I should probably reduce my backlog first though...
