I've finally started playing Deep Rock Galactic and I'm kicking myself for not getting it much much sooner.
Cocoon
Tiny Thor
Sea of Stars
El Paso elsewhere
Edit: Kena Bridge of Spirits
Just started sea of stars myself! The music and the visuals for now are absolutely beautiful!!
Agreed, it's really good. I thought I was done with JRPG's. Generally, they're too slow paced for me and I don't have as much time as I used to. I've really enjoyed this one so far though.
One of the features that I like is how even though the combat is turn based, it still feels active because of the timed button presses for attacking and defending. It definitely gives the traditional gameplay mechanic a breath of fresh air.
yeah i agree, the biggest problem for me in JRPGs is that i just don't have the time and sometime the attention span to keep playing. This one for now it’s working, although i’ve only played for a couple of hours.
Action RPG's are usually where it's at for me.
Just got Witcher 3 for the Steam Deck OLED

Did you have a regular Steam Deck before the OLED?
How are you liking it?
I did. I signed up and got one of the first. Gifted it to a friend after getting the OLED model.
The screen size difference is a big upgrade. I love that KDE is a button away. It seems to run cooler?
Issues: Holy hell was it a mess on release day. Wifi doesn't work out of the box. I can't believe it shipped like this. I spent hours debugging and finally figured out I had to disable the 160 mbs lanes on my router to get the wifi to work. What a disaster. Like I literally couldn't even get through the setup screens because of this issue. It should be resolved via updates, but jesus christ get your wifi drivers fixed before shipping valve.
This version feels more like a portable PC with the KDE desktop being built in. Its just right there. I loved my first steam deck. I love this one more. My wife is annoyed I got her a switch instead of a steam deck. Probably gonna sell her switch.
Dusted off the old Nintendo 64 to play some StarFox 64. It still holds up great.
fuuuuuck I remember that game. Topsy turvey but suuuuuuch a good control system.
The controls hold up better than something like Star Wars Rogue Squadron, which I surprised myself to discover. I have great memories of Rogue Squadron but the controls are stiff in all the wrong ways while StarFox is comparatively easier to fly even in the non-linear arena areas.
Visually StarFox is obviously dated, but because it opted for big low detail style to begin with it isn’t difficult on the eyes the way “realistic” N64 games look today.

It strikes me as something that could be updated with only modern textures and look very good in an indie style.
