Gaming

There are dozens of us! I’ve just been happy to get through my Steam backlog since my gaming PC died. I recently played Horizon ZD and am about to start Shovel Knight Pocket Dungeon

I have one, but borrowed it to my neighbor to try it out and see if he wants to purchase one. :)

I don't play on it often honestly, but I mainly use it if I'm going to bed and don't want to sleep, flying, visiting in laws, or want to play controller games. It's console lite for me.

I played Brotato on it for way too many hours.

I'm currently playing Octopath Traveller 2 and it's running great ! It's also a very fun game. The next game on my list is Outer Wilds.

I have been playing a lot of BotW and DRG on it. Playing BotW on it is amazing, for DRG or mainly any shooter on it there is the problem of me not being used to aim with the gyro properly yet.

I am currently playing Red Dead Redemption 2 on my deck, performs well enough (the major concern is the affect to the battery if playing handheld). Keyboard required for first time set-up (virtual keeb didn't work).

Others:

No Man's Sky - endless playability imo and was my go to when I purchased

Planet Zoo - I haven't actually played on deck yet, but I got my desktop setup where I only need to use the mouse, and plan to try the strategy on my deck.

Dofromantik - this is a relaxed puzzle game that is very good on deck

Podman - containerization is a game, and the deck is a Linux computer after all :)

I got it in September last year. While I am alternating between Death Stranding and Wolfenstein: the new order, I have to say that this fantastic machine has allowed me to play and finish 18 games since September, which is unbelievable for a person with a job and a family with a kid...

Me! Currently playing Diablo 4, but I just picked up MCC on sale. Love this thing!

Just started playing Persona 5 Royal. I've got a ton of looong RPGs installed, and nowhere close to enough free time for them.

Currently playing Death Stranding in between two sessions of Tears of the Kingdom on my Switch !

I have a deck, got the 64gb and replaced the eMMC with a 1tb SSD

I'm playing Middle Earth Shadow of War, since despite how old it is, I've yet to properly finish it. On the plus side, they removed all the microtransactions now

I'm also playing Diablo 4 on it

I've been playing the games from the most recent humble bundle, eternal threads was a big surprise! It's really good!

I'm still not sure if I want to get the Steam Deck, I play portable games on my Switch and while I miss out on having all my Steam library and stuff, I just can't seem to reasonably justify buying one

I’ve been playing TOTK and some Persona 5 Royale

I'm more curious how many are running SteamOS vs Windows to get an idea of how good proton support for titles is.

TOTK! Runs great via some of the latest Yuzu updates.

Also Pizza Tower and a bit of PGA 2K21 here and there.

I’ve been playing Diablo IV since it came out! Runs surprisingly well.

I pre-ordered the Deck way back on day 1 with the expectation that it would be a good emulation handheld, non-demanding indies, and Civ VI device, and that any modern gaming it ends up doing besides that would be gravy.

Proton turned out to be far more compatible than I ever imagined.

Still, I mostly do emulation, indies, and low-graphic strategy games, because anything with serious visuals, I don't want to play on handheld. But it is great to be able to continue whatever strategy or RPG savegame I've got going when I travel.

I've been loving Hades, but I'm currently fighting to get done emulation working - although I didn't spend much time and I at least know, where I fucked up...

Been playing TOTK too much to pick the Deck up… Was playing Lone Fungus before, which ran really well.

We Love Katamari

Been slowly working my way through Shadow of War, between probably a bit too much Against the Storm, Surviving Mars, Stellaris, and Timberborn.

Warhammer Boltgun, Forza Horizon 4 & Fallout 76.

Boltgun is incredible, best new game I’ve bought this year.

Fallout 76 (don’t judge) is great just to burn some time doing events with randoms and joining public teams.

I’ve really gotten into Forza Horizon 4 again recently and am also playing through that on the Deck.

I’ve added a 1tb SSD to mine so it’s running Windows and Linux meaning I’m pretty much free to play my whole library. Love the thing.

Been playing Dinkum lately, great controller support works well on the deck.

I love my Steam Deck and use it for smaller indie titles I can play for a short time through the week.
At the moment I play Flood of Light, which works pretty well despite being a game relying heavily on mouse controls.
And as a second: Super Panda Adventure. A surprisingly fun metroidvania.
Casette Beasts is next, already played about an hour, but I want to finish the others first.

Been playing a bunch of Diablo 4 on my deck if I adjust the settings I can get 60 fps and bad battery. Some other games that I think work really well are The Binding of Isaac and Tetris: Effect

Currently playing some No Man's Sky. It runs better than I was expecting.

I was playing Showgunners and was really enjoying it but it crashes a lot on the deck. I'm hoping an update fixes it.

I've had my Steam Deck since April of last year. I love it. I love the community that has formed supporting it. The last game I beat on it was Midnight Suns. Since I got my reservation for it in July 2021. I went from about 4 games on Steam. To over 140 games.

It's probably my primary console whenever possible.

I went from a Hades binge which ended when I entered the mid-to-late game grind phase interspersed with bouts of BoI (finally picked up Repetence) and found myself wondering what to do now.

So I figured, hey, maybe it's about time I finally went back and finished Bastion.

Then all of a sudden Street Fighter 6 comes out (which plays incredibly well on the deck) and a new No Man's Sky expedition launches, and now I don't know what to do!

In order of play time on the deck:

• Dead Cells
• Hades
• Katana Zero
• Hi-Fi Rush
• Neon White

Been advancing the story in Trails of Cold Steel II, the sleep function is a bless for these types of games.

Right now I'm playing Horizon Zero dawn. runs beautifully. very occasionally crashes but otherwise great.

Been playing BOTW but also XCOM 2 and the roguelike deckbuilders bundle from Humble Bundle recently. Loving the steamdeck so much.

I'm working through Persona 4. It runs like a dream!

Just recently finished Eastward. Really nice little action RPG. Felt a bit lengthy with about 30h for me, especially the dialogues. However, great gameplay with good story and nice pixel art. Difficulty feels just right - generally not too hard, but sometimes challenging.

I'm at like 60 hours of Dead Cells now and I still haven't beaten the thing. Can't get past the Hand of the King, but dang is that game satisfying to play.

I was never a roguelike fan until I played Hades and now I guess I'm an addict.

I want a steam deck so badly. In the mean time I’m paying my switch.

But I really want to play disco elysium. I know it’s available for the switch, but it pays terribly compared to the pc.

I am! I'm actually playing the Elder Scrolls Online via moonlight streaming.

Vampire Survivors, and Pico-8 games via Emudeck. Once I'm bored of those I plan to spend a bit more time with Snowrunner. I've never really got into it, but it looks like my sort of game.

Dark Souls 1 for the first time! Runs beautifully. Gonna do 2 next.
