Suggestions for slightly older AAA games for Steam Deck? (beehaw.org)

Recently finished Bioshock, Spec-Ops: The Line and Nier Automata (not so old, but played really well).

I'd love any suggestions for older AAA titles that are worth a play-through!

Hey thanks for the tip!

I'll 100% get in on the coming sale, my first Steam sale...ever.

Welcome! And say goodbye to your wallet :D

But seriously, I'm curious why this is your first. Always stuck to console before? Finally got some extra spending money? New to gaming in general?

Oh man, my last desktop PC was back in like 96 or so, a Packard Bell. I think Fallout was my game of choice on it back then.

So my return to 'PC gaming', not console gaming, is the Steam Deck! First Steam account, first Steam sale (coming up). I'm so happy to have got this, really enjoying what is possible.

If Borderlands series works for the Deck i would recommend it as well! I am absolutely in love with the franchise from the first to the last game.

Enjoy! Glad you're liking your Deck it's really an awesome device. I would highly recommend using the wishlist feature on Steam. Add any games in here that sound good to your wishlist, and you'll get notifications from Steam when those games go on sale. There are pretty frequent sales outside of the big ones too so if you can only get a few games on the upcoming sale, don't worry because another one will be here soon enough.
