Gaming

I have mine but rarely know what to play on it, as my favorite games aren't comfortable to play on the deck - ie AoE, Endless Legend, Phasmophobia... This thread is going to be quite useful for me.

If you haven’t played sleeping dogs, it’s one of the biggest underrated games and runs Amazing on the deck

I've been playing octopath traveler 2 and hi fi rush. I wish it was a bit smaller though. After playing Zelda on my switch it reminded me how unwieldy it can be.

✋ :D

I love it. I mostly have MacOS for work and there are a decent number that work on that. It's nice to get back into a Linux machine and nicer that it mostly just works(tm) for a lot of games (and can be tweaked for those that don't!)

I've played just about every roguelite on the platform, they work great on it. Especially the cheap early access ones.

Right now, I'm doing a run through of the first Borderlands again. Runs great on maximum as well. I'm curious how the sequels will run but no hurry.

I just got hooked on cities skylines so I haven’t been on my Deck as much, but I was playing a ton of vampire survivors and midnight suns for a while.

I just recently got my Steam Deck and I’ve been playing through GTA IV, as when I bought it my PC ran it like garbage and by the time I got a decent PC, GTA V was the new hot thing. It’s been an amazing experience so far, and after I’m finished with this I’ll probably jump into Red Dead Redemption 2.

I keep buying games, but I'm only playing death stranding 😅😅😅

Elder Scrolls Online, Medieval Dynasty, Sims 4 and The Long Dark right now for me. Been trying to get Cities: Skylines working well, but I find it gets bogged down quickly as the city grows.

Been playing a lot of the Resident Evil 4 remake, and Stalker Anomaly. The gyro controls for aiming are amazing.

Got mine a couple months ago, my most played games so far are Doom 2016, Doom Eternal, Monster Train, Isaac and Enter the Gungeon.
Some others I like that play well on the deck with good controller support: Crypt of the Necrodancer, Spelunky, Cluster Truck, Baba is You, Hades, Hotline Miami 1 & 2, Mark of the Ninja, Steamworld Heist and of course Vampire Survivors.
Previous thread for some more ideas.

I like to dock the Steam Deck for couch coop. Go to games include Overcooked, Boomerang Fu and Lovers in a Dangerous Space Time.

Love the Steam Deck. I’m able to play so much more than I did before. Currently playing Persona 5 Royal and I’m really enjoying it. I’ll be at it for a while so I don’t know what’s next. Maybe Octopath Traveler 2 or Persona 4 Golden.

I love my SteamDeck! I've been playing ToTK on it lately, and before that was Hi-Fi Rush.

I absolutely love the steam deck. I bounce around games, the most recent new release I played was Hogwarts Legacy. More recently I've been using it as like background occupation to listen to podcasts and have been playing euro truck sim 2 and American truck sim. It's also gotten me back into Elite: Dangerous so I should probably finish that exploration route I had set up. I also very almost finished Celeste (like I'm on the final level), so I should probably go back and finish that. Like I said, I bounce around lol.

Playing next I'm not really sure, I bought KSP2 on launch day but wasn't really able to run it, but the new updates seem to have majorly improved performance so I'll try that when I next feel like it.

Hey! I’m playing Yooka-Laylee, Skyrim and Moonlighter.

I’d really like to get good with FPSs on sticks, but seems to much for me, so I play Deathloop docked.

I want to get one, but don't have one yet, unfortunately. A bit out of my price range at the moment.

I’m currently hooked on Diablo IV. It runs perfectly on the Deck, and has ended up being the place I play it the most now.

Lies of P demo. Been waiting on BG3 release, but might keep that to PC. Thinking of picking up Cassette Beasts.

My Steam Deck is mostly an indie/retro machine that I play while I'm vegging out in bed/on the couch at the end of the day. Lots of PS1 games and whatnot

I love bloodstained, personally. Runs super well and the game is just a perfect fit for the deck.

It’s also amazing for emulation! Just about any traditional-controller game works like a charm. I’m going back and revisiting so many of the old GameCube and gameboy games

Dark Souls 2 with a very nice lighting mod. It's called DS2LightingEngine SOFTS. I played DS1 and DS3 but could never get into DS2, partly owing to the visuals which I really didn't like. Now it looks cool and I'm getting a few deaths in here and there on the deck.
