I've been meaning to play P5, and didn't realize it would be good on the deck. I'm not sure if I need to play 1-4 first so I might just give it a go and set it aside to do the rest if I get lost.
I only played a little bit of 4 before doing 5 and it's been fine, so I think you'll be alright. Only thing that doesn't make sense is the Velvet Room, but I get the feeling that it's supposed to be mysterious and isn't explained in previous games.
All the Persona numbered games are pretty much completely self contained, so you can jump in to any of them in any order (except the 2 persona 2s iirc)
FYI: the next major Steam sale starts June 29th- I got all those Arkham games for 8 bucks last year, so make a list and wait a few weeks. You can join the rest of us who have 100 games bought for 80% off and 10% played 🤣
So my return to 'PC gaming', not console gaming, is the Steam Deck! First Steam account, first Steam sale (coming up). I'm so happy to have got this, really enjoying what is possible.
Enjoy! Glad you're liking your Deck it's really an awesome device. I would highly recommend using the wishlist feature on Steam. Add any games in here that sound good to your wishlist, and you'll get notifications from Steam when those games go on sale. There are pretty frequent sales outside of the big ones too so if you can only get a few games on the upcoming sale, don't worry because another one will be here soon enough.
I finally got around to playing the XCOM reboot entirely on my Deck and it was a fantastic experience. Those missions are short enough that I could pick it up, play a mission, and then put it down and do something, and come back to it.
Yeah, they say it is unsupported but it is totally fine. I just used one of the community templates for the controls and it worked like a dream. Looking forward to playing the sequel later this year.
Have you done any tweaking to graphics settings? Feels like it's running a bit "hot" considering that it's not that graphically intensive.
I guess I could try just lowering the TDP too.
Well, a major focus of Valve for a while now has been getting PC-exclusive games working well with controllers. The original Steam Controller, Steam Input, and the Deck itself are all geared towards solving that problem.
Are they playing well on the Deck? I see a lot of protondb posts say that the games have a ton of crashes. Which is why I have avoided trying them out.
I've only played Asylum so far. Finished the game with zero issues. I may have used proton experimental (because somewhere on protondb it was suggested). I had zero issues!
I am currently playing through Doom 2016 and Doom Eternal, both are excellent and play great on the deck.
You asked for AAA but I will mention some of my deck favorites from the indie side too: Binding of Isaac, Enter the Gungeon, Hotline Miami 1 and 2 and Monster Train.
I'm having a great time playing The Saboteur on my Deck. It's not on Steam but if you buy it on GOG you can run it through Heroic Game Launcher's Steam integration. You can also run the EA App (yuck) version on Deck but it takes a little more doing, or emulate the PS3 version.
A criminally underrated open world game from 2009 where you play as an ornery Irish man fighting Nazis in occupied Paris. It's well written and acted and nails the aesthetic of the time and place. Plus it's just fun blowing shit up.
Not that it’s old but I have been playing God of War 2018 on my Steam Deck and it’s been an absolute pleasure. The visuals are still amazing and the game runs really well. Get it during a Steam sale to save some cash.
