Gaming

I just played through Dishonored, which worked great! Also Assassin's Creed 2 was a fun one to finally finish from the backlog. It was the first game I completed on the steam deck and enjoyed messing around with configuring the controls to take advantage of the touchpads (used the left one to select from the weapon wheel)

Metal Gear Solid V runs beautifully on the deck and has been one of the best games I've tried playing on it. The gyro controls for aiming make it a very satisfying experience.

I've been having a great time with Yakuza 0. It runs great on the deck.

FFVII Remake runs really well. Doom, Fable, DMC5, Control, Nier: Automata, Titanfall 2, RE2 Remake, Spider-Man Remastered all run very well too.

Not that it’s old but I have been playing God of War 2018 on my Steam Deck and it’s been an absolute pleasure. The visuals are still amazing and the game runs really well. Get it during a Steam sale to save some cash.

Shadow Man is excellent!

I'm having a great time playing The Saboteur on my Deck. It's not on Steam but if you buy it on GOG you can run it through Heroic Game Launcher's Steam integration. You can also run the EA App (yuck) version on Deck but it takes a little more doing, or emulate the PS3 version.

A criminally underrated open world game from 2009 where you play as an ornery Irish man fighting Nazis in occupied Paris. It's well written and acted and nails the aesthetic of the time and place. Plus it's just fun blowing shit up.

Halo the Master Chief Collection, runs great, looks great, and the Halo campaigns are just super fun in general. Goes on sale for $20 often too.

Thought I'd update a lil. It's currently $10. I think it's a must buy at $10.

As a father of 2 the steamdeck has been amazing for me! It's allowed me to get back into games for short sprints.

That said I've been revisiting:

• doom
• doom eternal (not so old)
• the Wolfenstein series
• days gone
