For me I’m currently trying to push my way through elden ring. But gosh it sure gets hard half way through, especially underleveled and offline. I need to find that mimic summon.
Other than that, cycling through local coop games like PlateUp. Any suggestions?
Hades, Returnal, and Hi-Fi Rush at the moment.
I think Hades is exactly what the SD was made for.
Been playing some minecraft java editiom, since the 1.20 update just dropped.
Into the breach. Such a simple yet perfectly thought out game, which you can easily sink a lot of hours into. It’s also cheap.
I just bought it, and am absolutely loving the art style and gameplay. I’m excited to see how the mechanics get more complex as I progress. 1.5 hours in and I’m hooked!
Also, got the recommendation to buy it from the fediverse so that makes it even a bit more sweet!
Finished Witcher 3 main quest in Steam Deck (the font is so small on Deck)
Now got consumed by The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom
Blasphemous
Same, I was playing Death Stranding but I paused it because I’m hooked by Blasphemous.
Diablo 4! I just can’t put it down!
Drakenguard 3 on rpcs3 I’m pretty impressed at how well it runs. I only had to change one audio setting to fix some crackling issues.
Also Pokemon infinite fusion when I’m looking for something more chill
What’s drakenguard and what’s pokemon infinite? lol I’m out of the loop
edit: I see drakenguard is a Nier predecessor game
Pokemon infinite is just a fanmade Pokemon game, it’s got nothing to do with Nintendo and runs on PC natively. It looks and plays closer to Pokemon leaf green but with new mechanics and story
I was playing Fire Emblem Engage (Lunatic/Classic difficulty), but then I started replaying Disco Elysium and got hooked on that one all over again. I was pleasantly surprised by how well it controls on the Deck – great way to kill time on the train!
I’ve been interested in trying Disco Elysium, good to know that it runs well on the Deck! You mentioned playing on the train - is it a good game to play in short bursts?
You can definitely play it in bits if you’re able to follow the game log. It keeps track of all the conversations and bits that you need to remember.
There’s no action in the game, so there’s nothing you can’t just put down and pick up later, as long as you can remember what you were in the process of doing or where you were going.
Horizon Zero Dawn. Almost through the main story.
I was having that crash almost every time i put the system to sleep. Are you not experiencing that?
Sometimes, but definitely not every time
BotW currently (gotta finish that before TotK), with some breaks for SnowRunner. I need to get back into Elden Ring before I forget how to play!
Monster Hunter Rise, Underhero, and I just bought Halo MCC for my first ever Halo playthrough.
You’re in for a treat. MCC is good fun
Magic Arena and a lot of WH40K Space Marine. The latter works pretty good and I noticed the servers are still online! Played some good old exterminate yesterday.
Also Zacharia Pinball in-between.
new vegas, and a truly dope hockey roguelike (yes, you read that right) called tape to tape
Dicey Dungeons, Streets of Rogue, Enter The Gungeon (its default controls are kinda weird though); I played Cassette Beasts for about 10 hours but then I got bored.
+1 for Dicey Dungeons. Playing it on the Steam Deck might actually be the ideal format, too. I don’t think I could have cleared the Witch campaign at all if I hadn’t broken that up into dozens of micro-sessions.
One thing I will lament, however, is the Steam Deck’s current poor support for Bluetooth headphones. Being forced to resync headphones constantly forces me to play on mute most of the time, but it’s practically a crime against fun to play without the Dicey Dungeons soundtrack.
If you get a pair of bt headphones exclusively for the deck, they seem to stay paired in my experience.
As in, the headphones are only paired to the deck and nothing else.
But yeah, wired is still easier in 2023 :(
I keep dedicated wired headphones for my Nintendo Switch and Steamdeck. As usual bluetooth ones for phones and tablets.
No Man’s Sky is my first deck game. Haven’t had enough time to get too far, found it tough to slip away long enough to play for decent chunks of time.
