Just redownloaded slay the spire and got the downfall mod. Been having a blast. Works great on deck, and although the mod loader is a bit finicky, it works fine once booted

I'm in act 2 of Midnight Suns. It makes a bad first impression, but once you get into the progression loops, it's a good time.
Avid Steam Decker here, mostly playing Boltgun and the System Shock Remake (which also inspired me to go back to the original System Shock in parallel to see what's changed)
I just got off a huge Hades kick. Currently I'm working through Doom 2016 again, and I'm planning Doom Eternal next since I just got the DLC. After that is probably Cyberpunk 2077. I bought it on release and dropped it after a couple weeks, so I'm excited to see how it plays now with a couple years of updates, and also because the expansion is coming.
Over the year I've finished Outer Wilds, Hades, PikuNiku, the second Ori game, and have been slowly getting through Elden Ring. Next is probably Tunic, but idk if it's worth my time after playing through the first 2 hours.
Nowadays I can't use any other controller than the deck, so I sometimes link it with the pc just for that - I just can't live without the gyro and the back buttons
A whole lot of Street Fighter 6. Steam deck works perfect for working through world tour while away from my fightsticks
Making my way through Yakuza 0. For whatever reason I stopped playing it on the PC a couple years ago and I'm starting over from the beginning now on the Deck. Also working through Shadow of War now and then ever since I got it for like $5 a couple weeks back.
This is probably one of the best games available for the format. There are few joys that can reach the heights of some idiot picking a fight with you while you're standing next to a bike rack.
I'm playing Halo Master Chief Collection. I've never played any Halo before due to never having an Xbox back in the day.
Started with Halo 1 and really loving it. Good fun indeed.
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’ve been playing Diablo 4 on it the last couple of days. Before that was Death Stranding.
I finally claimed all my humble bundle keys for the last few years. So I've been working through some of those.
The stand out, cozy game, that runs really well on the deck is Spiritfarer.
Loving my steam deck but sadly don’t get a lot of time to play even on something so portable. I’ve been fooling with Cozy Grove lately, though!
Just finished Octopath travellers some days ago (not 100%, only the main story without the special boss). Now I'm playing Blasphemous. In the middle the lagacy collection of megaman, the first 3 are done.
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.
I've been playing Celeste on the Steam Deck. Really good game and its a replay, since previously I had done it on the Switch.
My Steam Deck was collecting dust as I played through ToTK on switch, but then my Joycon got the stick drift and I'm back to the deck.
Playing through the Ori games right now. They are such a wonderful platformer and feel like they were built for a handheld.
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.
Been mainly using it to get through the Trails series before Trails from Reverie releases in July - currently on Trails of Cold Steel 4, but it's a hard one to get through.
Other than that, been emulating Phantasy Star Portable 2 Infinity and playing with friends.
I was a really early pre-orderer and love my deck. Playing Cosmic Star Heroine this week!

River City Girls is up next.
I'm working through Persona 4. It runs like a dream!
Q1 decker here. Got mine back in April last year. Right now I'm playing the Crash Bandicaoot N. Sane trilogy, but I often use it for emulation. I finished Zelda Twilight Princess and Ori WotW a few weeks ago. Not sure what I'll play next. Whatever I fancy when I finish Crash (for the 3rd time).
I would like to know who is running SteamOS and how Proton is working for you.
Elden Ring (I'm a bit late in the game), and the new expansions for Pathfinder Wrath of the Righteous and Solasta.
Been slowly working my way through Shadow of War, between probably a bit too much Against the Storm, Surviving Mars, Stellaris, and Timberborn.
After neglecting my Switch for months to play my Steam backlog on the Deck, I've been fully sucked into Tears of the Kingdom for the time being.
Spyro is almost done, next would be Crash Bandicoot. I also started playing TOTK on it but the fps is atrocious at this time.
I play some big name titles, but I kinda turned mine into an emulation box. New games are good and all, but portable Paper Mario TTYD is a dream.
Last game I finished on Steam Deck was Miles Morales. Since then all my handheld time has been dedicated to Zelda on the Switch.

If you like Vampire Survivors you will like this too.
