Playing Dragon Age Veilguard. Just finished the first quest, and it's a lot of fun so far.

Cookie cutter. A really neat metroidvania with a lot of blood

Mainly Balatro and Factorio at the moment, after finishing Forza Horizon 5 (whatever finishing in that game means lol).

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 day ago

How does factorio work? Do you play with a magnifying glass?

[–] [email protected] 0 points 2 days ago

Dangerous Waters.

Very old style, bit clumsy on the controls, but incredibly tense with the gritty sonar stuff.

Been only playing the P-3C airplane so far, but there's also tons of submarines, a helicopter and a frigate.

It is so satisfying to find and torpedo a submarines after staring at sonar graphs and dropping buoys for a while. Love it! I'll be sharing an updated aircraft-oriented controls config when I'm happy with it, based on the one community config that was there, which was more sub-oriented.

Ocarina of Time. I didn't grow up with the older games but I'm having fun so far. I'll play the other titles afterward

[–] [email protected] 0 points 3 days ago

Tape to Tape. It's a roguelite hockey game that has a big sense of humor.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Persona5Strikers. Got it last month with humblebundle's choice, and it's pretty good. My first ever persona game..

[–] [email protected] 0 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Did you have to use GE-proton to get it to run? I think that used to be a requirement, but I'm curious if it runs without it now.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 3 days ago

I dont think so? Just downloaded and pressed play. Maybe it did use glorious eggroll's version but idk. will check.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 3 days ago

Yakuza Like a Dragon. Super fun and super silly, runs perfectly on Deck @40FPS but boy is it a battery hog.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 3 days ago

Witcher 3, Just finished the main story. And boy, CDPR really nailed the story/ character writing in this game. Looking to grab "Hearts of stone" & "Blood and Wind" DLC next GOG sale.

What an amazing 50hr time sink!

[–] [email protected] 0 points 3 days ago

I picked up Persona 5 Royale during the sale for 30 bucks.

I was a huge fan of P4G on the PSVita.

P5R is so stylish and it does such a great job of speeding up so much of tedium by allowing fast travel to most places.

Everything feels so snappy, the soundtrack is killer, the gameplay is fun. Runs like a dream on the OLEDeck. I've been enjoying taking it slow and getting to know the characters. Just finished the first palace.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 3 days ago

Haven't been playing much on it since I haven't felt like playing because college, but the last few times I have, I was busy dragging myself to play Fallout New Vegas to some day finally complete a run for the first time in any fallout game. Otherwise, I don't think I've played any other games.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 3 days ago

Visions of Mana. I'm almost at the end and I have been putting off beating it because then I will be sad.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Hardspace: Shipbreaker. After a rough day of work, there's something incredibly soothing about dismantling a spaceship over a couple of hours.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Me too! I'm playing it on the easiest mode so I can just not stress and enjoy the hygge of breaking down spaceships

[–] [email protected] 0 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Same here. No oxygen depletion, and go about tearing that thing apart slowly. One thing I haven't managed is to grab the bunny. I mean, I do grab it, but can't get it to appear in my quarters, it just sticks to my hand until I let go.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Oh, I think you have to grab it with x, like you do with parts and data

[–] [email protected] 0 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago)

That lets you know all you need about how relaxed I play. I had no idea X could "pull" as much as push. Thanks so much, I'll do that again today.

Frontier Pilot Simulator even though it doesn't work offline for some reason.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 3 days ago

@Fubarberry I've been playing Half-Life docked with a steam controller and its been fantastic. The steam controller is so good for fps games.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 3 days ago

Just finished the visual novel ISLAND, read on the Deck for the most part.

Next in line would be finally continuing with Pocket Mirror. Afterwards, looking forward to buying Dredge.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 3 days ago

Vampire Survivors, Wreckfest, Slay the Princess, Hue.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 3 days ago

Loop Hero . Picked it up for last week for just under $5 and it's been a lot of fun.

It's an Indie rogue-like with a surprising amount going on.

My favorite being is that it mixes a deck builder rogue-like with building a world each run.

The "permanent upgrades" (outside of the game-loop) are pretty interesting as well- building a village/city and managing supplies.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 3 days ago

I've been playing The Axis Unseen. Framerate can be a bit rough at times, but some patches fixed the worst of it and made it playable.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 3 days ago

I'm a weird Deck gamer, in that I often start games and come back once in a while, which I never do on PC, where I try to finish one game at a time

  • Death Crown
  • Narita Boy
  • Citizen Sleeper
  • Dave the Diver
  • Deep Rock Galactic Survivor
  • 60 Parsecs!
  • In Other Waters
  • Race the Sun -Merchant of the Skies
[–] [email protected] 0 points 3 days ago

Dave the Diver. I was playing a pirated copy through October, it was a lot of fun so when it went on sale last week I bought it.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 4 days ago (1 children)

still cyberpunk. just started the phantom liberty stuff. man is that ever not stealth decker friendly.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Is it the Phantom Liberty part specifically that isn't deck friendly? I replayed some of base cyberpunk on my OLED recently, and was really impressed by how well it runs now. I seem to remember performance being a lot worse when I tried it back on my original LCD deck.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 3 days ago

The new content just has a bunch of parts where you are mobbed so if your playstyle is ninja decker and not the best up close and personal it can be tough. Its definately a bit different with a ton of parkour initially and many hidden item caches. I actually just got through the initial mission and now everything has opened up.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 4 days ago (1 children)

I bought Vampire Survivors since it was slightly discounted and have only heard rave reviews about it.... I sank 7 hours in my first day lol!!

Picked up all the DLCs too. Imo worth the money to support the developer

[–] [email protected] 0 points 4 days ago

I have it on my tablet (Android), and I love it. It is so simple, but satisfying.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 4 days ago

Windblown plays really well on the SD. Developed by Motion Twin, same folks behind Dead Cells. Rogue-like that plays similar to Hades but has some persistent upgrades like Dead Cells.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Wilmot Works It Out - much simpler than Wilmot's Warehouse, an extremely enjoyable puzzle game.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 3 days ago

I was about to ask how well the Wiimote works with the Deck.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Ready or Not. Awesome on steam deck

[–] [email protected] 0 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Really? How's the performance?

[–] [email protected] 0 points 3 days ago

Very good, I'm getting 50+ fps on medium settings

[–] [email protected] 0 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago)

NFL 2k5

I’ll never get over playing my old ps2 games on the go.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Ys X Nordics. Tons of fun.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Had a great time with YS 8, been meaning to pick up 9 or 10 whenever they have a decent sale.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 3 days ago

Like most Ys games, they're a trudge at first, and some graphical letdown, but they're still great stories with great characters. I remind myself to power through the beginning each Ys game and eventually find myself loving it.
