[Discussion] What games are you playing on your deck?

My Steam Deck is a "Baba is me" machine right now, most of the time. It is a neat little puzzle game to play while sitting on the couch.

So frustrating at times! Some of the harder puzzles are ridiculously convoluted

I've started a new playthrough of Fallout New Vegas. Never got round to finishing it last time, so hopefully will do now! So far I've added some stability mods and a new radio station. Anyone got any other mod recommendations?

For a long time I went down crazy modding rabbit holes for the fallout games, spending more time modding than actually playing. I finally decided to just pick a setup and stick with it so I could actually enjoy the game. I ended up following this guy's modlist which has a nice focus on the essentials.
- A bit late, but this list has a number of issues, notably things like ENB. For anyone wanting a minimal mod list,
  is the gold standard.
- Some of those look nice! I notice that a lot have pre-requisite mods, and those require their own pre-requisites 😱 I'll see if I can find some easy to install ones
is a fantastic one stop shop.

Currently going through every Metroidvania Castlevania posterior to Symphony, went through the Advance Collection and had to resort to emulation for the NDS ones, currently on Portrait of Ruin. After that we'll see.

Spider-Man:Miles Morales. Hopefully by the time I beat it Spider-Man 2 will be on Steam and Deck Verified

I played it twice in a weekend, so be ready to wait
Spider-Man is good too if you haven't played it yet. Runs well on the Steam Deck.
- Spider-Man Remastered was indeed great! I beat it then went right to Miles Morales. It’s been a Spider-Man kick here haha!
It will likely be at least a year or two before Spider-Man 2 comes to Steam. It will be about 2 years for Horizon: Forbidden West, and I think that was the fastest one so far.

Haven't used my Deck in a while, but yesterday I played Overwatch on it. New gf plays on console, so she was on Switch and I was on Deck. I'm not good at controller Overwatch but after a few games I felt like I wasn't a complete drag on our team at least.

been playing West of loathing and shadows over loathing lately. Fun and stupid, nice to be able to play them on deck

No Man's Sky for few months now.

Also started Hellblade, its very easy to get stuck in that game it seems

I had to break myself away from No Man's Sky after about 100 hours or so, felt like it would completely consume me.
- Not as "bad" as rimworld, unlike nms that game requires attention all the time, and is even more addicting to me :D
  literally got in the way of normal life and created temporary issues

Factorio and I just picked up a game called Outpath (similar to Forager, but in 3d! and other minor changes).

A friend got me into Honkai Star Rail, so that's been taking up most of my time.

Other than that, I've also been playing Black Mesa and Trolley Delayma which is a free little trolley problem game.

I'm still putting off Baldur's Gate 3 hoping for FSR 2 to be added, but with silence from the devs on when/if that's being added, I'll probably go ahead and start playing it soon.

How did you get HSR running on a Steam Deck?
- There's a 3rd party launcher for it. They've asked people not to link it publicly, so I'll send you a DM.

Hollow Knight.

I started playing it at the start of this week, and have been completely hooked into it.

What I find pleasantly surprising is that I gave the game a few chances over the years, but it just didn’t click. Perhaps as I was playing on a PS, and I find it very odd to play platformers and similar games on it.

Spiritfarer, which looks like it’s related to Stardew Valley, but turns pretty damn dark at times. Also Baldur’s Gate 3, Stray and Hollow Knight.

BG3 really needs to be played plugged in as it eats battery like crazy and also helps with a bigger screen. At which point I might as well go down to the big computer.

Just finished shadow of Mordor yesterday and it was fun, and worked perfect on the deck. Today I started Darkwood, seems to be working reasonably well so far, although the run versus walk controls are a little clunky, but overall no big issues just an hour in to it

still vampire survivors 😵‍💫

Baldur's Gate 3, mostly. But I've been playing Pathfinder Wrath of The Righteous when the others in the group I play with can't play.

Oh, and some Cities Skylines II here and there. Works reasonably well with the controller, but it's not perfect.

High on life since I don't get to play much but have a marginal stack of games to get through. Good game so far and very witty

Aaaaaaannd I'm done...

Deck is currently being borrowed by my dad to play Zero Dawn, but last I had it, I was using it for Final Fantasy VII Intergrade.

Metal Gear Solid

Still Lonely Mountains: Downhill And newly bought Warhammer 40,000: Boltgun

Dragon's Dogma: Dark Arisen I just wanted to see how well it ran (decently enough, a few more stutters / slowdowns than I hoped but certainly playable) and now it has been the main game I've played for several weeks 😅 Game is fun :b

Ni No Kuni II. It's a fun RPG that's easy to put down and come back to when you have time. The combat is fun too, though the voice overs are a bit distracting.

Dave the diver, casual enough to play just before going to sleep.

Just started playing Slime Rancher and it's a pretty fun relaxing game. I picked up Slime Rancher 2 as well but am waiting until I finish the first game to start playing it again.

Finally got around to playing Carrion. It's a great game for the deck and is a massive amount of fun.

Carrion is a pretty good SD game.

Still Baldur's Gate 3. And a little bit of Untitled Goose Game on the side.

I just installed this the other day but haven't really gotten into playing it yet. I'm at the part with the druids and have only played on PC so far, still kinda getting used to the game I guess.
- Just flap your wings, honk and steal some stuff.

Binding of isaac

Trails into Reverie. Then onto Kuro No Kiseki.

I recently discovered Tinykin, neat little game.
