Super Mario All Stars, just to spite Nintendo.

[–] morbidcactus@lemmy.ca 8 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I'm replaying through the Metroid Prime Trilogy again, primehack is amazing.

[–] bjoern_tantau@swg-empire.de 5 points 2 years ago

I should pick that up again. I remember getting stuck somewhere in the first one.

Untitled Goose Game. Silly fun.

I tried Satisfactory, but the controls just aren't (yet) made for a controller.

[–] wasted_in_time@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Dang. I wanted to try Satisfactory on it.

[–] Telorand@reddthat.com 4 points 2 years ago (1 children)

You could, but there's no official control scheme. My experience wasn't great, but maybe yours will be better. I just think that since there's so many buttons (multiple toolbars, multiple menus and build modes, etc.), it's hard to make it all work.

Maybe I'll try my hand at a new control scheme, but it just seems built for a M+Kb. It plays well, though, so the limitation really is only the controls.

There's a profile I tried on my desktop during update 8 that wasn't terrible on an xbox controller, it's surprisingly playable imo, works well with action groups, probably be way nicer on the deck with something like rotary menus on the trackpads and using the back buttons for modifiers.

I'd give it a try anyhow, just probably going to need some fiddling to get where you want.

Started playing Animal Well the other day. It's quite good.

[–] Thekingoflorda@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago (1 children)

RDR2, works so well on the Deck, kinda blows my mind.

It's been mostly Isaac as usual but I picked up Shotgun King: The Final Checkmate yesterday and I like it a lot. It's a fast-playing roguelite with a neat idea that's implemented well. The game mechanics remind me of Hoplite on mobile.

The game is currently on sale and has a free demo. It has good controller input and low resource use, a great fit for the Deck.

[–] Fubarberry@sopuli.xyz 3 points 2 years ago

The game mechanics remind me of Hoplite on mobile.

That's pretty high praise, I'll check it out.

Arkham Knight, Max Payne 2, and this super complex game called Blender 3D in which I have made donuts.

Rocket League, Stardew Valley, Dirt 4.

Nostalgia stuff: Crash Bandicoot PS1, Worms World Party PS1, NFL Street PS2, MX Superfly PS2, Midnight Club 3 DUB Edition PS2, probably some others

[–] Water_Melon_boy@lemmy.zip 4 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Nine Sols!

Who would've guessed a hand drawn 2D side scroller runs amazingly at 90Hz. That sound of parrying attacks coming out of deck's speaker is just so satisfying.

[–] overload@sopuli.xyz 2 points 2 years ago

Hell yeah. Been hanging out for getting this one.

[–] russjr08@bitforged.space 4 points 2 years ago

A lot of Rocket League! Additionally I've been having a pretty good time with Star Trucker.

Then recently I've been streaming Helldivers 2 from my PC to my Deck while it's connected to the living room TV, which has been fun.

[–] DrDominate@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago

Sea of Stars went on sale and it's fantastic.

[–] CrayCray@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

Forza Horizon 4 currently

[–] LittleWizard@feddit.org 3 points 2 years ago (4 children)

Thronebreaker, Hogwards Legacy. I also started Bayonetta and recently finished (and real enjoyed) Hotline Miami 1 and 2. I tried Cyberpunk 2077 as well but my fps skills on a controller are so bad that it's just too stressful.

[–] Fubarberry@sopuli.xyz 2 points 2 years ago

Yeah, I did hacking + smart weapons for my CP2077 playthrough so that almost no aiming is required. I imagine melee builds play fine as well.

[–] JoeKrogan@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

How is Hogwarts Legacy nowadays ? I'm thinking to pick it up in the future but want to make sure it plays ok on deck.

[–] LittleWizard@feddit.org 3 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 children)

Game updates did break the startup process once before. That was fixed after one or two days. In game the graphics are set to the lower settings but I don't mind. I only notice slow loading textures from time to time.

When it comes to the content: I think the world building and the castle are well done. Missions and dialogs are quite dull though, aimed more at children. Still fun to play from time to time.

Currently I'm playing through Ready Or Not, the engine update and them adding FSR3.0 made the game playable at the best of times! However the Deck still freezes and crashes occasionally sadly.

[–] ClassyHatter@sopuli.xyz 3 points 2 years ago

Alan Wake's American Nightmare. Just finished the story mode. It’s Steam Deck Verified, so it runs and plays well, and it’s easy to play with a controller because it has a bit of auto-aim/aim correction.

I did enjoy it. Not a must play by any means, but it does add to the lore of the Alan Wake series. If you are a fan of that game series, I recommend playing this. And if you aren’t, you probably should play the other games in the series. 😉

Haven't been playing it much recently, but I've gotten to a point in Pokemon Unbreakable Ties where I'm stubbornly bashing my head against a wall to win a battle, so that's off the table for a while.

And the only other games I've actually played recently are Yooka-Laylee (only 2 levels in due to exploration and a lot of goofing around), Baba Is You, and Dungeons & Degenerate Gamblers. But I've only been playing a little bit since I've been busy enough.

[–] GooseFinger@sh.itjust.works 3 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Thinking about buying one to play Project Zomboid on. Has anyone here done that? Happy with the experience?

UFO 50. Going through each game, 1 by 1.

[–] Fubarberry@sopuli.xyz 2 points 2 years ago

I'm playing EDF: World Brothers 2 with a friend, and also bouncing between Cyberpunk 2077, Baldur's Gate 3, and Monster Hunter Rise.

I'm looking forward to getting back into Shadows of Doubt. It just came out of early access, and recent updates included a ton of steam deck optimizations and major improvements to controller support. There are some great user control profiles already available, but I look forward to being able to play it docked as well with a standard controller.

Currently 1, but we will soon be at the dlc content. 2 After that.

Warhammer Space Marine. Wanted to get into Warhammer and saw space Marines 2. The first one is good fun.

[–] QubaXR@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

Persona 5 Reloaded!

[–] SemioticStandard@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

GoW Ragnarok. Runs flawlessly without touching the settings.

[–] Alxe@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

Metaphor: ReFantazio.

Well, the demo honestly, which is relatively long. The game is releasing in a week! It runs relatively okay on the Deck while locked at 30fps.

[–] overload@sopuli.xyz 2 points 2 years ago

Jusant is next on the list after Kingdom Come: Deliverance.
