Gaming

Trying to work through my backlog. I've just started A Hat In Time and enjoying it so far.

I'm mostly distracted away from my Steam Deck by Tears of the Kingdom right now. One thing I love about the Steam Deck is the controls—I'm an avid Steam Controller user, as well. Because of that, I actually like playing stuff "more suited" to my desktop, thanks to the Steam Deck's superior controls. Elden Ring, for example.

I've been playing Diablo 4 as well as modded Minecraft with my wife lately. I have tears of the kingdom installed to play next. Diablo and Minecraft run surprisingly well with little/no additional tinkering once the initial set up is done

Im currently swapping between playing Rimworld, and Tape to Tape.

Tape to Tape is a hockey rogue lite that playes like classic nhl games with a bit of Mario Strikers.

I got Drakenguard 3 running on rpcs3 recently so I've mainly been playing that. Also been playing Pokemon infinite fusion.

I tend to prefer games that aren't as heavy on the deck and stuff like cyberpunk and Elden ring better on my main rig.

I've been emulating Mario Party Superstars and Mario Kart 8. Yuzu's multiplayer is amazing!

I am currently playing Red Dead Redemption 2 on my deck, performs well enough (the major concern is the affect to the battery if playing handheld). Keyboard required for first time set-up (virtual keeb didn't work).

Others:

No Man's Sky - endless playability imo and was my go to when I purchased

Planet Zoo - I haven't actually played on deck yet, but I got my desktop setup where I only need to use the mouse, and plan to try the strategy on my deck.

Dofromantik - this is a relaxed puzzle game that is very good on deck

Podman - containerization is a game, and the deck is a Linux computer after all :)

I have one, mostly play Stardew and Brawhalla coop on it. Occasionally some Wreckfest or Sonic All-Stars Racing.

I'm playing Yamafuda and maybe will try the system shock remake.

I've heard the controller support is awful there though.

Recently just finished the base difficulty story mode of Furi (amazing game highly recommended) and the lightning boss in Zelda tears of the kingdom.

I know it isn't typical, but I love using my deck as a Steam Link client.

Ive been emulating and toying around with linux a bit mostly I plan to get TOTK on there when im done playing it on the switch

I literally haven't played my PC since getting my steam deck, it's fantastic. When they make a Steam Deck 2 I'll preorder it.

Pro-tip I've discovered: Don't trust Steam's "not supported" flag. It's probably supported fine, if you can enter a command line to bypass the launcher. 99% of the "not supported" guys are launcher problems. And you can play your Epic and GOG games through Heroic Launcher.

Played MGS5 through to completion, worked flawlessly. Played through the Kingdom series. Been playing Offworld Trading Company. Call of Juarez Gunslinger. Mortal Kombat 11. Devil May Cry 5. Played Elite Dangerous a bit just to make sure it would (requires bypassing launcher but works). Going to do a replay of Fallout New Vegas here once I'm done with OTC, or maybe Fallout 4 or Outer Worlds. Also been meaning to throw Cyberpunk at it to see how it handles but I don't suspect it's gonna present a problem.

Seriously, these things are the missing link in PC gaming.

I have a Steam Deck but I'm not really using it enough. It's a great device but my gaming PC is just so much better. I use the Steam Deck when I'm travelling, but that's about it really.

Currently playing through Halo Reach. I've never played the series before, and so far I'm really liking it. Even though it is marked as playable, the only slight slowdown was signing into Microsoft, which wasn't too bad even.

Had mine since launch, been chilling playing P5R recently.

Trying to 100% Spiderman at the moment, and also playing ToTK on my deck

Steam Deck is great but I've been stuck on Tears of the Kingdom. Once I finish that, ill probably hop back on Hades or Signalis.

LEGO Builder's Journey has been really fun, its a great game to play at night to wind down even though it's pretty short

Playing the game I'm developing

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

Last game I played on it, yesterday, was Just Cause 3. It's.. not great. The game just doesn't run consistently enough and is too CPU heavy.

I recently played Red Dead Redemption 2 on it, that was great. Surprisingly so. I'm playing Skyrim now. I've had the game for years but never took the time to properly get into it. I beat the main quest and messed with mods back in the day but that's it.

Now, I'm playing it vanilla and I want to just go deep into the game, completely ignoring the main quest, I don't want to be the hero, if the universe needs saving, it can find someone else. Khajiit have caves to explore and stuff. Oh and the new Survival Mode is neat!
