Gaming

Love my Deck. Haven't been playing as much since I've been playing a lot of TOTK on Switch, but currently I'm finishing up P4G

Loving System Shock remake on the Deck right now. Just freaking fantastic.

Just got mine last week! After popping in a big SSD and downloading emudeck, litrus, and heroic I’ve been having a blast.

Hi-Fi Rush has been fun with its cell shading and rhythm mechanics.

Legend of Zelda - Tears of the Kingdom has been great, but it’s my first Zelda game.

Looking forward to the new Expanse game coming out next month, and maybe some docked couch gaming.

100% agree on the controller support.l for BG3. I tried playing it on the deck and it was just too cumbersome for me.

Recently, I was able to get Diablo IV to play using Lutris. That has been running incredibly good.

Other than that, lots of EmuDeck! I've started replaying Final Fantasy Tactics: War of the Lions with a patch that fixes up some issues with the base game.

Love the deck so much. You can just do so much with it.

Been on BOTW now for the last week. Been having a lot of fun, though I'm kind of rushing through so I can start with TOTK.

Yeah I think it’s not bad. If you start feeling too weak take a look at some builds for guidance. Some skills are pretty weak but it’s hard to tell just be looking at them. They’ve made it super easy to change your skills as you go so it’s not a big deal.

Vampire Survivors, Halls of Torment, Time Wasters, Diablo 4, Cult of the Lamb. I prefer 2D games, the controls are a lot easier - I'm not used to controllers :) I also have to finish Octopath Traveller so I can play the sequel.

It’s sitting behind my laptop. I bring it all the time and hardly play. Mostly think it’s the fact I depend on more sleep now that I have three little ones haha!

I was playing Hogwarts on it last! That and Dredge are good.

Making my way through Yakuza 0. For whatever reason I stopped playing it on the PC a couple years ago and I'm starting over from the beginning now on the Deck. Also working through Shadow of War now and then ever since I got it for like $5 a couple weeks back.

I keep buying games, but I'm only playing death stranding 😅😅😅

Been slowly working my way through Shadow of War, between probably a bit too much Against the Storm, Surviving Mars, Stellaris, and Timberborn.

Dead Cells, Hades, Going Under, Enter the Gungeon, and a few rhythm games. Only really use it while traveling for work, partner uses it a lot more then I do.

Vampire Survivors, and Pico-8 games via Emudeck. Once I'm bored of those I plan to spend a bit more time with Snowrunner. I've never really got into it, but it looks like my sort of game.

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.

Love the Steam Deck. I’m able to play so much more than I did before. Currently playing Persona 5 Royal and I’m really enjoying it. I’ll be at it for a while so I don’t know what’s next. Maybe Octopath Traveler 2 or Persona 4 Golden.

Batman Arkham City, then I moved on to Arkham Knight but I streamed that from my desktop because it's more demanding. Now I'm trying to figure out what to play next. Maybe Jedi Fallen Order.

If you haven’t played sleeping dogs, it’s one of the biggest underrated games and runs Amazing on the deck

I’ve been playing Freeways and Graveyard Keeper on my steam deck, and I’m glad the controls feels tight.

Mostly retro games. Retroachievements is amazing, and creates an entire new dimension to retro games. I've been score chasing a bunch of Atari 2600 games as evening entertainment.

As for Steam games, Neon White is pretty good. I've also been playing Hifi Rush, but have gotten stuck on a battle that I can't seem to beat.

I've recently started working my way through the Telltale Games and Don't Nod back catalogues. Strong Bad's Cool Game For Attractive People is great fun, and Life Is Strange Before The Storm plays really well too. :)

I got mine last July, and it’s quickly become my favorite “console” of all time. Rn I’m playing Fallout New Vegas and emulating some older Monster Hunter games.

Currently playing through Halo Reach. I've never played the series before, and so far I'm really liking it. Even though it is marked as playable, the only slight slowdown was signing into Microsoft, which wasn't too bad even.

Been playing Dinkum lately, great controller support works well on the deck.

I use my deck daily. Anything that is super intensive I actually just stream from my PC upstairs to my deck / or TV downstairs using the deck. For native games I am currently playing Diablo IV, Eastward, and about to start XCOM 2 after finishing the first game entirely on deck earlier this year.
