I bought so many games. Sales are going insane right now. I’m playing Tetris Effect (but there’re issues with TV output currently) and Horizon Zero Dawn. I’ll hop on Monster Hunter World every now and then too.
Station 2 Station. I dont think its Deck Verified yet, but it runs great. Its so easy to turn off brain, chill to the music, and lay down some train tracks and bridges while the time just disappears. If you want, you can tryhard it, which is also fun, depending on the mood.
Farm Together - been playing with my gf split screen co-op on tv. The game is exactly what it says on the tin and it is awesome.
Modded Dayz (using DZGUI as mod manager) - I have been working on a steamdeck joystick+gyro control scheme and playing a bunch of V++ deathmatch and other deathmatch servers. Dayz runs almost comically well on the steamdeck I really don’t get it. The gunplay is unbelievably chunky and intense especially on servers with carefully curated gun mods. I love it.
Halo Infinite - finally not hardcrashing on me all the time on the steamdeck, I love the original three halos and despite what old halo fans half paying attention will tell you, halo infinite’s multiplayer is superb. It doesn’t hurt that it is free.
Deep Rock Galactic - Is there anything to even say about this gem?
Battlebit - I am having fun, I love having battlefield without EA but the problem is like a lot of battlefields the gun balance is totallllyyyyyyyyy skewed in favor of smg players who blindly rush so I am just not playing it as much right now. I can hold my ground and fight mid range more effectively in halo infinite without being call of duty smg spam which kind of breaks my brain (the guns I am using to do so half the time don’t even have iron sights lol?). I hope they fix this game.
(I play all of these with joysticks + gyro, no mouse and keyboard)
Having just finished Hollow Knight (in fact, I mentioned starting it in one of the previous discussion threads ), I find Hades to be a bit too repetitive. But I don’t want to make the same mistakes I did with Hollow Knight and give up early.
I will give this game a few more days before forming a conclusive opinion.
Speaking of Hollow Knight, I am glad I didn’t give up yet again. The game really opens up after the first few boss fights, and it was really fun exploring the lore, levelling up, and going through some of the bosses.
I’ve been playing Planet of Lana. It’s a puzzle platformer, very similar to Limbo or Inside. But there are some different mechanics that involve a companion animal that follows you around.
I was in the mood for some twin stick shooters. I found Revita and ScourgeBringer, and have been playing some Ubermosh. Revita is really fun, it says unsupported but the game works fine on Deck (no 12800x800 though). The standard game has a pretty good community template, but the beta version of the game seems to be the “definitive update” which didn’t have as strong a template so I added and uploaded one.
I keep coming back to MH Rise with my friend though, playing it docked on the TV :)
Definitely opt into the public beta (2.0) as it has a number of updates that the base game doesn’t. I do recommend my control scheme template, but only to help get you started playing sooner! ;) Took me a minute to fine tune it to make it really feel good.
Been playing RDR Online with a friend, but had to make a new account because the email to my 10 year old account tied to my PlayStation is old and deleted, and rockstar support seems to be breaking the record for hottest garbage I’ve encountered so far.
