Inside and Limbo are great on theck deck. I’ve very much enjoyed Little Nightmares, although checkpoints are sometimes a littler further apart than I’d like. Currently working through Mass Effect which is great but taking up lots of time. With Bastion on sale for $2.99 that’s another very good one.
I don't, just didn't know how it is spelled and thought they did it this way. I pronounce it in one word "factorio". I think the small "i" in their logo confused me 😅
I do a surprisingly large amount of my gaming on the steam deck these days. My poor PC lies abandoned. Anyway… here are some great games that I’ve played recently on the deck. Some of them are Yellow - usually to use the keyboard for something minor.
Roguebook: another roguelite deck builder - by Richard Garfield.
Talos Principle 2: Puzzles and Philosophy
Chants of Sennar: explore a mysterious tower and learn the languages - and lost history - of the inhabitants.
Doom & Doom Eternal: you know these
Tunic: Zelda Classic - but with deep puzzles
Inscryption: deck-building horror puzzler… that is soooo much deeper than what it seems.
A final, hesitant recommendation for
Dome Keeper: Roguelike Mr. Driller meets Paratrooper, with a tight one-more-run game play loop that is insanely satisfying.
But… the menus don’t work right for me in docked play - the A button is only randomly accepted. … but it works fine in handheld mode. (The controls work fine in-game as well, it’s only menus that have trouble.)
@swordsmanluke@steamdeck Having a gaming PC in the house is still useful for me. I use it to remote play games that don’t run great on the steam deck or eat too much battery. Like Starfield or Baldurs gate 3. Only issue is there is currently a gamma bug in remote play making everything dark. I hope valve fixes it soon.
I’ve streamed a few games but I’m on wifi and it’s… fine? Like it works better than it has any right to, but anything that requires fast inputs has been iffy.
Even BG3 I generally preferred playing on the actual hardware instead of streaming.
@swordsmanluke I guess it really depends on your wifi quality and lag tolerance. I have my PC wired in and really fast Ubiquiti Wifi AP’s so it’s not really noticeable here.
I’m on wifi end to end unfortunately. Because reasons my internet comes into the basement and my main diet is down there. My PC and the Deck are both on the main floor and have decent signal strength but the extra latency and occasional dropped frames make real time games… less fun for me.
Still, I can go play games on my PC when needed. It’s literally less than twenty feet distant…I just really like the Steam Deck. :)
This is what I needed to hear. I have a save from 2016 that I’ve been wanting to finish, but bounced off of it on deck because I had to map all KB+M controls to make it happen.
After I finish The Witcher 3 (which has an amazing experience in the deck), this is where I’m headed.
Rocket League, which before I had my Deck I didn’t even really get into all that much so it kinda took me by surprise. Seems to even have no problem playing at the high quality graphics levels at a steady 90 FPS too.
Additionally, since EA is having a massive sale right now I picked up Burnout Paradise and the mass effect legendary edition, along with all of the NFS games.
I discovered this game like two years ago and it got me super addicted. I can’t believe how sucked in I got. I’ve had trouble getting into a second play through, I am not sure why. Maybe it is because the mystery is gone.
Baldur’s Gate 3 is addicting. I think I am getting near the end of the main story, but I am not 100% sure. Pausing the game on the SteamDeck is the only reason I am able to sink so many hours into this game.
I’ll say it again, SteamDeck is the only platform that I will game on from here on out. It is exactly what I have always wanted. A PC that acts like a console. I love the handheld aspect as I can be on the sofa or in bed with my wife while gaming.
I’m in the same boat as you are. I have moved all my gaming and emulation fully to the steam deck. It’s just too damn easy to just pick it up whenever.
and yeah BG3 I have to put on hold every now and then cause it just will rip time away so fast. I just get lost in it.
95% of my entire yakuza play through has been on the steam deck, from 0, to kiwami 2, which I just finished a couple minutes ago. such a good series and runs great, all at 60fps high textures
@msage@steamdeck Judgement is good, I wish these games didn’t have endless cutscenes though. It makes it hard for me to complete them in a reasonable timeframe.
