Gaming

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.

Halls of Torment (https://store.steampowered.com/app/2218750/Halls_of_Torment/)
If you like Vampire Survivors you will like this too.

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

I’ve been playing Diablo 4 on it the last couple of days. Before that was Death Stranding.

Divinity Original Sin 2.

Fantastic game, plays great. Only about 35 hours in and I'm blown away. Dialogue choices matter, puzzles and problems can be solved in numerous ways with all sorts of unique interactions. I've barely scratched the surface too

Fromsoft Games and I just started Metal Gear Rising for the first time. God I love Platinum Games.

Had an absolute blast with Dredge this past winter. Next up on my list is Nier as I've heard it runs super well and it's been in my backlog for ages.

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

Elden Ring (I'm a bit late in the game), and the new expansions for Pathfinder Wrath of the Righteous and Solasta.

I'm playing Elden Ring and Vampire Survivors. I just finished Dredge and it was incredible. I'm quite excited for Hades 2, Starfield and BG3 (ideally with controller support) later this year and I'm going to work through my unplanned library until then.

Not too much right now as I have been in the TOTK hole for weeks, but recently I was playing the CIV 6, the new Hitman trilogy, and a few different metroidvanias. And I played HiFi Rush to completion on it. Fantastic device. Long term I will end up playing a lot of emulation on it too.

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.

We Love Katamari

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

Just wondering, has anyone tried installing windows on it? From my experience using with dual boot, windows give much more fps stability like not getting mini lag etc. on games.

Raises hand

I love my Steam Deck, although at the moment it's mainly being used as a PS5 remote play device while I'm playing God of War:Ragnarok. I play all sorts of stuff on it though, and it probably gets more use than my desktop gaming PC these days.

I have played some "lighter" titles like Journey (originally a PS exclusive), Little Nightmares and Crossing Souls. It's really nice to be able to play PC games on the go and (although I've not yet played AAA games on it) am quite pleased with it's performance.

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

Recently I was playing Guild Wars 1 and Doom (1996) on it.

Feels great for Doom.

As for Guild Wars 1, it was very much playable. The only frustrations were the login and double clicking in the inventory. Someone had already done a community layout which worked pretty nicely. Note though that I was playing just by myself, so I can't comment on while in a party with other players.

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.

Spyro is almost done, next would be Crash Bandicoot. I also started playing TOTK on it but the fps is atrocious at this time.

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.

A whole lot of Street Fighter 6. Steam deck works perfect for working through world tour while away from my fightsticks

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

I'm not so active with mine at the moment since I have a desktop computer, but back when I was recovering from a knee injury away from home, it was not just most of my gaming, but also my personal computer for most tasks, via a USB-C hub hooking it up to the keyboard and monitors I was using for work. I ended up completing a personal image editing project using GIMP installed in its desktop mode.

I use my deck daily. Anything that is super intensive I actually just stream from my PC upstairs to my deck / or TV downstairs using the deck. For native games I am currently playing Diablo IV, Eastward, and about to start XCOM 2 after finishing the first game entirely on deck earlier this year.

Fallout 4.

Two weeks ago I came across a Fallout 4 video on YouTube. It brought back memories! I am a grown ass man now and don't have time sitting in front of a PC or console all day, so I bought a second hand Steam Deck for the job.

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

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