How many steam deck folks are here and what are you playing? - Beehaw

Right now, I’m playing the early access version of Baldurs Gate 3. I’m getting ready to put it down (frustrated: BG3 has the potential to be good, but without controller support, I’m getting really frustrated with the UI. ) and switch to Yakuza Like a Dragon. What are you playing now and what are you looking forward to playing next?

Hey all! My big recent titles are Need For Speed Underground 2, Path of Exile, and Minecraft 1.20.

NFSU2 for PS2 runs great on deck, absolutely recommend. The deck is an incredible racing game platform imo.

Path of Exile I'm mostly playing because of Diablo 4 fomo, but I'm enjoying it pretty well. Huge Diablo 3 fan, but the console controls never made it to PC so I'm having to manage with other games.

Minecraft using the Prism launcher runs perfectly on deck. Every major update my buddies set up a server and we build a little town and run around questing and whatnot. Definitely recommend for deck, it works great.

Just took it with me for 2 weeks when we went out of town and it was excellent to keep the kids busy at hotels without having to use their shit UI on their “smart” tvs.

For Baldur’s Gate 3 I stopped playing after a couple of hours as the controls and Ui are not great on the deck, although have a look at the PS5 trailer as it shows the UI when used with a gamepad which will come at release.

Looks like it will be really nice with the steam deck.

xangelkiller,

I’ve been playing a mix of Trails of Cold Steel 3, Dead Island Definitive Edition, and CS:GO. I just started playing for the first time recently because I didn’t want to spend $70 on Call of Duty anymore. So far, so good!

im only using the steam deck as a pc, a monitor, mouse n keyboard, so i dont play in handheld much, if i wanna play a pc game i do it with keyboard+mouse. for going outside and stuff my nintnedo switch is way better and smaller than the steam deck.

Guild Wars 2 with custom controller config. Back buttons are a godsend for that game! It also allows me camp at the trading post and make money while watching TV hehe

UrbenLegend,

I've been playing Diablo IV and Halls of Torment, with some occasional No Man's Sky, all of which run great on the Steam Deck.

I am really excited for BG3 but also bummed out about the bad controller support. Weird considering how Larian did such a good job with controller support in the Divinity series.

SentientRock209,

Just got the Vampire Survivors DLC so I'm grinding out a couple runs to finish my achievement collection on that game

I'm catching up on Midnight Suns DLC. Marvel, turn-based combat was a dream combination for me. Shame the optimization for the Abbey is so bad and 2k shit the bed on the polish but I have wanted a game like this my whole life.

Mostly Mario Kart 8. Runs smooth as butter 98% of the time. Going to need some good offline games for an upcoming train trip!

After completing Slay the Spire on 2 different platforms to A20 I picked up Monster Train and it's been refreshing. Fantastic title for pickup and play, and there's plenty of content in there to keep you going.

funkmachinego,

My go-to right now is Monster Hunter Rise. Perfect pick up and play for 10 mins type of game. And since I pretty much play solo, I can suspend in the middle of a hunt with no worries.

Just picked up Chernobylite on sale & it runs great. Still playing Dredge occasionally.

Briaxe,

When I have time, I'm playing Valheim.
And when I only have a few minutes, I'm really loving Beach Buggy Racing 2; it's actually as good as Mario Karts.
