Gaming

Spyro is almost done, next would be Crash Bandicoot. I also started playing TOTK on it but the fps is atrocious at this time.

Playing Chained Echos and I love it! It's a great love letter to older turn based RPGs

Avid Steam Decker here, mostly playing Boltgun and the System Shock Remake (which also inspired me to go back to the original System Shock in parallel to see what's changed)

anybody with a deck tried modded minecraft? if i get one and it works i’ll probably end up having another one of those month-long minecraft phases haha

99% of my Deck gameplay has been Harvest Moon Animal Parade (Wii game) since I got it last fall. Lmao. But I recently got a little chill game called Lemon Cake on sale so I’ve been messing with that. I just want calm games these days, preferably ones I can pick up and put down easily.

My Steam Deck is mostly an indie/retro machine that I play while I'm vegging out in bed/on the couch at the end of the day. Lots of PS1 games and whatnot

Mostly emulation. As a day 1 Dreamcast owner, the Dreamcast emulation has been mindblowing.

Most of the A-list games I prefer on console, so I don't bother with them on Steam.

Fromsoft Games and I just started Metal Gear Rising for the first time. God I love Platinum Games.

Not too much right now as I have been in the TOTK hole for weeks, but recently I was playing the CIV 6, the new Hitman trilogy, and a few different metroidvanias. And I played HiFi Rush to completion on it. Fantastic device. Long term I will end up playing a lot of emulation on it too.

I love my Steam Deck, although at the moment it's mainly being used as a PS5 remote play device while I'm playing God of War:Ragnarok. I play all sorts of stuff on it though, and it probably gets more use than my desktop gaming PC these days.

Been playing TOTK too much to pick the Deck up… Was playing Lone Fungus before, which ran really well.

Lately I've been playing Descenders: It's been a lot of fun and runs great! It's a procedurally generated cycling/BMX game.

Got my steam deck about August last year, I've been using it almost exclusively for gaming this year. At the beginning of the year I used my gaming PC to play some Battlefield 2042 but other than that its been Steam Deck only.

Blasphemous im working on beating right now before the 2nd one comes out. Also playing a bit of Ride 4 before 5 comes out. Once i am ready to loop back to other games on my list to beat I'll also be playing Nier Automata. Another I've found of interest recently just due to its simple gameplay and coop capability is Death Road to Canada.

I'm working through Persona 4. It runs like a dream!

Halls of Torment (https://store.steampowered.com/app/2218750/Halls_of_Torment/)
If you like Vampire Survivors you will like this too.

My Steam Deck was collecting dust as I played through ToTK on switch, but then my Joycon got the stick drift and I'm back to the deck.

Playing through the Ori games right now. They are such a wonderful platformer and feel like they were built for a handheld.

I'm playing Doki Doki Literature Club mainly to see why there are all the disclaimers about disturbing content.

Just finished Dishonored and now I'm on to Dishonored 2

Divinity Original Sin 2.

Fantastic game, plays great. Only about 35 hours in and I'm blown away. Dialogue choices matter, puzzles and problems can be solved in numerous ways with all sorts of unique interactions. I've barely scratched the surface too

Q1 decker here. Got mine back in April last year. Right now I'm playing the Crash Bandicaoot N. Sane trilogy, but I often use it for emulation. I finished Zelda Twilight Princess and Ori WotW a few weeks ago. Not sure what I'll play next. Whatever I fancy when I finish Crash (for the 3rd time).

Currently playing Jedi: Fallen Order and Stardew Valley. Good to have som casual gaming for casual times and some narrative AAA for when i have a bit more time on my hands :)

I've been playing System Shock 2, the original version i got from GOG (it took a bit to make the controls work but it works fine, though i found a weird bug with non-Steam games in that if you rename the game it loses the control settings - e.g. i set up the controls when the icon was named "SS2.exe" but when i renamed it to "System Shock 2" later it lost the settings until i renamed it back to "SS2.exe" :-P).

I also played a bit of Stranger of Sword City, a turn-based and grid-based blobber. I find the deck works fine with such games.

Also both games play just fine at ~5Watt settings (i like to optimize the settings per-game to get more battery life out of the system).

I don't use my steam deck all that much, just when traveling. The last thing I played on it was Warhammer 40k Mechanicus, and that plays wonderfully on it. Definitely recommended.

Diablo 4 has been a blast and runs great on the Deck! Battery life isn’t all that great but it’s also a non-issue mostly as you need an active Internet connection to play anyway. So it’s not like I’d be playing on the go.
