Gaming

I'm playing a bunch of games - Inscryption, Hogwarts Legacy and Horizon Zero Dawn. I keep switching between them based on my mood.

Project Warlock and Dead Cells at the moment. Chained Echoes as mentioned is great on deck also. Gonna give Dragon's Dogma a go in anticipation of 2.

Just started Monster Hunter Rise. Played it on switch, wanted to get through sunbreak on the deck.

I've been using my steam deck mostly for older stuff that I bought and never got around to playing, like Hades and Dragons Dogma Dark Arisen.

I have been playing Frostpunk for the last couple of weeks. I'm into city-builders/micromanaging games, so it works for me. I finished two scenarios so far; three more to go.

Render96 the PC port of SM64 works amazing on it and only takes up 6W TDP, even with all the mental stuff going on when you enable chaos mode in the cheats.

Steam Deck install base: less than 2 million

Nintendo Switch install base: 125+ million

But by all means let's talk about Steam Deck.

Here we go again...

As first game i play Brütal Legend, then is Bayonetta on the list and then... we will see

I had been playing hollow knight, but then I got yuzu and Zelda: tears of the kingdom. It's been awesome.

I've been using it to play a lot of nostalgic games I haven't gotten around to revisiting yet, recently Burnout 3, classic Minecraft, and PSP homebrew. I hope to continue that trend by filling in some RPGMaker games I really liked, but I've actually been using it more in desktop mode as a companion for my drawing tablet than for gaming lol

Here's one with freshly installed Emustation and the world of Retro Games at my disposal.

Aside from that: Witcher 3, 40k Boltgun, Hitman 3, Door Kickers: Action Squad.

Lots of emulated games, mostly. Retrodeck is kinda jank but when you figure it out it's such a convenient way of using most emulators you'll need.

I'm trying to finish Yakuza 0. But christ this game is long. If the rest of the series is this bad I might have to pass on it. Great game but just...too much of everything.

I'm alternating between doom 2016 and divinity original sin. Doom was running really well and I was finally getting decent with aim assist off, but now it's crashing on a rune challenge consistently.

I just finished Yakuza like a dragon on my deck. Some of the most fun I've had with a game in a long time.

I recommend checking out emudeck if you haven't. I've been using its emulators to replay a lot of old Pokemon games as well as some pokemon rom hacks. You can even run pokemon infinite fusions if you add it to steam from desktop and enable compatibility mode.

Other recommendations: Carrion - You are a mass of flesh and must consume.

Hollow Knight - One of my favorite games and my favorite metroidvania.

Lunacid - First person souls like game that hits a nostalgic spot.

A Hat in Time - Plays like a 3d Mario game.

Pizza Tower - Sonic meets a Wario game. Everything looks like it's drawn in MS Paint.

At the minute I'm playing Botw via cemu , warframe, Mario kart 8 via cemu, deus ex MD and just finished my second play through of portal 2. I still need to finish new super Mario bros 2 on citra

Next I want to get into metal gear solid 5 . I'm also looking forward to when Xenia improves as the 360 had some great games before it red ringed (press F to pay respects)

Diablo IV, Assassin's Creed Origins, Caves of Qud, No Man's Sky. Also a bit of roguelites like Isaac, Dead Cells, Vampire Survivors, and Brotato.

I'll probably try Zelda TOTK again soonish, because I wasn't able to get it to run correctly (or sometimes even at all. Reading the comments here, it looks like it improved.
