I just started Bioshock 2 Remastered. It runs surprisingly well.

Nova Drift is a great asteroids rogue like.

Castlevania IV from the advance collection (and it's frustrating AF) trying to do all of the classic castlevanias but I may hang this one up and move on. I feel like I spend more time fighting the controls than the platforming.

About two hours into Chained Echos after finishing Cosmic Star Heroine. I always have to have a jrpg going.

I'm finishing spider-man and will start miles morales after that

[–] Klawn@kbin.social 3 points 2 years ago

I just finished Tohu, Kraken academy and Killer Paradise.

Killer Paradise was really cool. All success unlocked.

Kraken Academy was good but the loop is a little boring and the plot easy to guess. Some jokes were funny. All success unlocked too.

Tohu was good despite easy puzzle and very short.

I’m going for Remnant from the ashes, and trying to push a little more into ghostwire tokyo, and i’m tempted by Disco Elysium on the Humble Choice this month.

Also i will try grime, and waiting to be with friends to coop on fury unleashed.

Finally working on The Long Dark.

Thps3 and pikmin 3.

Although I'm likely to buy baldursg gate 3 in a couple days once I've heard how it holds up

[–] Polo421@lemm.ee 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I got THPS 1+2 on epic and heroic. It's so beautiful.

Only just got my Deck. Still in the process of doing upgrades and mods. But while I have been testing my overclock and cooling mods and whatnot, I have put a few hours into Elden Ring and it's awesome on the Deck. The load times are insanely fast compared to my actual high-end gaming laptop. Looking forward to starting a new save on the Deck, after I have everything setup the way I want it. Waiting on a 2tb ssd to replace the 1tb that I just put in the a few days ago. Need to get that swap done before I can finish the cooling mod.

I've also put a couple of hours into the Demon Slayer game while testing. That game runs at a locked 60 fps, and plays amazingly.

It's been mostly Diablo 4 for me, but I'm also playing a ton of Picross via Yuzu. While I own these games on Switch, I really much more prefer the feel of Steam Deck in my hands.

High on Life!

[–] miikaroo@lemmy.ml 2 points 2 years ago

I play way too much FFXIV on mine, but been playing Baba is You, FFIX, Muse Dash, Downwell, Powerwash Sim, Slime Rancher 2 as well... I'm stoked that it plays the Lies of P demo pretty well!

[–] CharlestonChewbacca@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

Just finished up Diablo 4 and now I'm playing Dave the Diver.

[–] abeltramo@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

I'm currently playing Batman Arkam Knight after buying at a huge discount last week. It works flawlessly on Deck and it looks gorgeous even on the small screen, the game is also great fun; absolutely recommended!

[–] Imperial_Genesis@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

The Last Epoch, Pacer and Legend Bowl.

[–] CerineArkweaver@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

Just finished Monster Sanctuary. Moving onto Super Robot Wars 30

[–] SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

Rise of the Triad, and always have a Civ VI game in flight

Just started Elden Ring for the first time a few days back. First game I played where I was generally blown away how well it runs and looks for a handheld PC.

[–] Kevadroz@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

Rain World, gotta 100% the game.

[–] TheMcSqueeze@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

I'm currently playing 7 Days to Die. I'm late to the game but with the new Alpha 21 update it runs pretty well on the Deck. I had to rework some of the bindings and set the loader to Vulkan compatibility but I'm getting a consistent 45 to 60 fps in all but the most crowded cities. Haven't gone past my 3rd horde night so I'm not sure how the masses are going to cripple the game. Having a lot of fun though.

[–] BlueCapy@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

I just beat and got 100% achievements in Ender Lilies. Solid metroidvania.

[–] soulsource@discuss.tchncs.de 2 points 2 years ago

With the release of Book of Hours just around the corner, I dug out Cultist Simulator again. It runs well enough on the Steam Deck, but it needs mouse input (-> touchpads), and sometimes it flickers (this seems to be related to autosaves).

Overall it works well enough on the Deck so that it's fun to play. The flickering is annoying though.

[–] nicman24@kbin.social 2 points 2 years ago

darkest dungeon, mechanicus, the dishonnered series, witcher, ff7 crisis remaster, smash bros, random pokemon hacks, deus ex hr

[–] topinambour_rex@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

I did limbo, guacemelee, inside. I started a cyberpunk game too, but switched to platform then.

[–] GameOfHotPotato@programming.dev 2 points 2 years ago

Emulating Final Fantasy X. It plays really well, especially with save states and 2x speed.

[–] ElkanNixed@programming.dev 2 points 2 years ago

Working my way through the first few Resident Evil games. Currently playing the second remake one.

[–] kukkurovaca@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 2 years ago

I got mine recently and have been playing a little bit of a lot of different stuff, but the thing I've put the most hours into has been Midnight Suns. I did not expect a Marvel game to my new favorite turn-based tactics deckbuilder, lol.

The stupid open world collectible part blows chunks, but the actual core gameplay is shockingly fun, if not perfectly tuned the way some deckbuilders are. The extremely weird lightweight high school dating sim / bioware relationship management aspect is very odd but produces some extremely funny interactions at times.

[–] Lolors17@feddit.de 2 points 2 years ago

Horizon Zero Dawn, Super Hexagon and Hollow Knight. I tend to play Hollow Knight more often because Horizon Zero Dawn really drains the battery.

[–] narwhalperson@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I’ve been playing a handful of games:

  • Demon’s Tilt: an excellent pinball game that runs great on the Deck. Also, the pixel art is very nice.

  • Hades: a great roguelike, finishing the last few side quests now.

  • Void Scrappers: a fun little survivors-like. Cheap and addictive.

  • Cassette Beasts: similar to Pokémon, if Pokémon had actually innovated in the last few years. Awesome mechanics, and all the battles are doubles matches.
