Over the year I've finished Outer Wilds, Hades, PikuNiku, the second Ori game, and have been slowly getting through Elden Ring. Next is probably Tunic, but idk if it's worth my time after playing through the first 2 hours.
Nowadays I can't use any other controller than the deck, so I sometimes link it with the pc just for that - I just can't live without the gyro and the back buttons
I finally claimed all my humble bundle keys for the last few years. So I've been working through some of those.
The stand out, cozy game, that runs really well on the deck is Spiritfarer.
Loving my steam deck but sadly don’t get a lot of time to play even on something so portable. I’ve been fooling with Cozy Grove lately, though!
Recently I was playing Guild Wars 1 and Doom (1996) on it.
Feels great for Doom.
As for Guild Wars 1, it was very much playable. The only frustrations were the login and double clicking in the inventory. Someone had already done a community layout which worked pretty nicely. Note though that I was playing just by myself, so I can't comment on while in a party with other players.
Dark Souls 1 for the first time! Runs beautifully. Gonna do 2 next.
Been playing TOTK too much to pick the Deck up… Was playing Lone Fungus before, which ran really well.
Been playing TOTK lately too. But for me before that it was Borderlands 3. Hadn't heard of Lone Fungus. Just added it to my wishlist. Love me some Metroidvanias.
I play some big name titles, but I kinda turned mine into an emulation box. New games are good and all, but portable Paper Mario TTYD is a dream.
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
I installed BlizzNet on my steamdeck and am playing through Diablo IV. I'm usually a more patient gamer but my friends were playing and coop is fun.
Playing Chained Echos and I love it! It's a great love letter to older turn based RPGs
Elden Ring (I'm a bit late in the game), and the new expansions for Pathfinder Wrath of the Righteous and Solasta.
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.
A whole lot of Street Fighter 6. Steam deck works perfect for working through world tour while away from my fightsticks
Lately I've been playing Descenders: It's been a lot of fun and runs great! It's a procedurally generated cycling/BMX game.
Halls of Torment (https://store.steampowered.com/app/2218750/Halls_of_Torment/)
If you like Vampire Survivors you will like this too.
I've been playing a lot of Othercide lately. Even though it says unsupported it actually runs really well! You just need to use the proton hotfix not default. I also played through Symphony of War recently and it's terrific. Anyone looking for something that you can dump 40+ hours into a single playthrough while also being EXTREMELY battery friendly, check it out!
Just redownloaded slay the spire and got the downfall mod. Been having a blast. Works great on deck, and although the mod loader is a bit finicky, it works fine once booted
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).
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.
I would like to know who is running SteamOS and how Proton is working for you.
After neglecting my Switch for months to play my Steam backlog on the Deck, I've been fully sucked into Tears of the Kingdom for the time being.
I am absolutely ravishing skyrim with mods on my steam deck right now. I'm playing a destruction mage, and half the time when im attacking I say "and so I started blastin" to myself. I play Vampire Survivors often, dead cells, subnautica, No Mans Sky, etc. Might give elden ring another try since I've been enjoying more difficulty in games.
Been playing a bunch of Diablo 4 on my deck if I adjust the settings I can get 60 fps and bad battery. Some other games that I think work really well are The Binding of Isaac and Tetris: Effect
I was a really early pre-orderer and love my deck. Playing Cosmic Star Heroine this week!

River City Girls is up next.
I'm playing Halo Master Chief Collection. I've never played any Halo before due to never having an Xbox back in the day.
Started with Halo 1 and really loving it. Good fun indeed.
Been advancing the story in Trails of Cold Steel II, the sleep function is a bless for these types of games.
I'm in act 2 of Midnight Suns. It makes a bad first impression, but once you get into the progression loops, it's a good time.
Fromsoft Games and I just started Metal Gear Rising for the first time. God I love Platinum Games.
Raises hand
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.
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
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.
