Hello peeps. Life’s thrown me some curve-balls recently, and I’d like a bit of an escape. Can anyone recommend a decent game in the vein of Skyrim, Fallout or Deus Ex/System Shock for the steam deck, that isn’t 25 or 30 quid please? Something on offer for less than a tenner would be ideal. I’m sure there are some great older RPGs out there that I’ve missed, the Deck is the first time I’ve got back into gaming for quite a few years, and while I’m sure I could quite happily just play Brotato for the next few years, I reckon there’s something a bit more immersive out there for me to find!

I've really been enjoying Kingdom Come: Deliverance and swapping between my PC and SteamDeck. It runs pretty well on the Deck. Reminds me of how I felt playing Skyrim. Excited to get to the sequel.

My mate’s been playing this on his switch, and it was a bit janky. Good to know it runs well on the deck

It's still kinda janky IMO, and there are some parts where the performance can tank. But I'm not really treating as a fast-paced action game so it doesn't really affect my enjoyment.

I was very impressed with KCD on my friend's steam deck. Very smooth for a mobile system
