Came here to say exactly this. I don’t like Kotaku, and think that the AI is probably doing a better job. But this does not bode well for other publications.

Hi, as it’s in my title. I’m looking for narrative driven games with good story, something I can play on my steam deck. Not something open open world but more of a on rails experience....
A lot of great games already mentioned here. If you want to try something a little different. Yakuza 0 has a bonkers story that is weird and wonderful, but very Japanese.
Tacoma and Gone Home are great stories and well worth a look.
I also rate the Max Payne series for some pulpy fun story with lots of shooty in between.
I see so many people talking about using their deck to play games while others are watching TV with their partners or whatever. But I just can’t do it. I hate not hearing the sound effects, music, voice acting when playing a game, and I tend to find myself not using the deck as often as I would like as a result....
My friends and I were actively trying to complete it. But once we got to the second area, the game just refused to allow us to continue. The games would drop one of us every 10-15 mins and it got to the point that it felt like the game was actively trying to make us stop. We decided to give up.
I don’t like the game. I think it’s unfinished. But I do think it could be fixed and it is definitely not worth the vitriol it received.
Yeah, I was pretty happy about this. Even though I have Outer Worlds on Gamepass, now I can easily play it on the go with my Steam Deck, so not mad about that at all!
So the recent bad news about Overwatch 2’s PvE cancellation was really disappointing, but honestly it kinda just reminded me that I hadn’t played OW2 in a long while, so I decided to jump in and just play some games....
I love Splatoon but like others here have said, I’m a casual player. Work and life is too busy for me to dive too heavy into it. Just love it’s vibe and gameplay ideas though.
Hi folks! Picked up Pillars of Eternity and am planning to play through it on my Steam Deck during a recovery period in hospital. This is my first CRPG style game, and I am pretty new when it comes to fantasy settings as I have typically been more into Sci-Fi and shooters....

This is what I was thinking. It just seems.... WEIRD. In the best way possible. It just all feels a little bizarro compared to what we normally see from the series.
Hey PCGaming folks! I don't know what happened this year, maybe reaching my mid-thirties finally unlocked the "dad game" part of my brain, and I started to all of a sudden get super into tactics games, after only having a passing interest in them my entire life....
BattleBit Remastered, a 254-player low-poly multiplayer shooter made by a small indie team, is now storming the charts. Last week, it generated more revenue on Steam than some AAA blockbusters like CoD: Modern Warfare II and Starfield.
A friend of mine got me into the game. Honestly, the graphics were a bit of learning curve for me. I play mostly indie games, but even for me, the fidelity was lacking. I think the shooting lacks a bit of punch, but once I got over that after the first few hours, a deeply satisfying, and FUN Battlefield-style game was waiting for me. Well worth supporting the developers anyway, even if it is just to get EA to notice and up their game for the franchise.
A big update just dropped for one of my favorite games of the year. The developers have been amazing supporting the game and communicating with the playerbase ever since it launched on steam in early access, the game feels extremely well polished and fun to play so check it out if you're interested in a challenging atmospheric...
One of the most underrated games in Early Access right now. I am not even a big city building fan, but their cadence of updates and novel take on the genre has sparked an understanding of the entire genre for me, and I cannot get enough!
I know we are in July, but trying to get some content on the board. Here are the latest games that launched on Playdate Catalog in June. Did you pick up any? What were your favorites?

Does anyone else hate playing games with no sound?

Splatoon fans?
The Kbin Splatoon community is kinda quiet, do we have more Splatoon fans out there on Kbin or elsewhere? I found a good Lemmy spot too.
