Only just got my Deck. Still in the process of doing upgrades and mods. But while I have been testing my overclock and cooling mods and whatnot, I have put a few hours into Elden Ring and it's awesome on the Deck. The load times are insanely fast compared to my actual high-end gaming laptop. Looking forward to starting a new save on the Deck, after I have everything setup the way I want it. Waiting on a 2tb ssd to replace the 1tb that I just put in the a few days ago. Need to get that swap done before I can finish the cooling mod.

I've also put a couple of hours into the Demon Slayer game while testing. That game runs at a locked 60 fps, and plays amazingly.

Just finished Lil Gator Game which was such a charming little game. The writing was great and the achievements were even painless to wrap up after I rolled credits. Super cute and cozy, do recommend.

Otherwise, still chugging along on Octopath Traveler II which is a big improvement over the first game imo. Between a willingness to play with the camera angles, more flexible story structures, and some good QOL, this is definitely a much more enjoyable experience for me than the first.

Shadow of Mordor

@Fubarberry I recently started Hyperlight Drifter. Great game so far, but its pretty difficult.

[–] wagesof@links.wageoffsite.com 3 points 1 year ago

Nova Drift is a great asteroids rogue like.

Castlevania IV from the advance collection (and it's frustrating AF) trying to do all of the classic castlevanias but I may hang this one up and move on. I feel like I spend more time fighting the controls than the platforming.

About two hours into Chained Echos after finishing Cosmic Star Heroine. I always have to have a jrpg going.

I'm finishing spider-man and will start miles morales after that

[–] valtsu@sopuli.xyz 3 points 1 year ago

I got the Deck from Summer Sale and since then I've been playing:

  • Horizon Zero Dawn
    • Been waiting to play this one for years, but haven't had Playstation since PS2 or proper desktop PC in years. SD fulfilled all my expectations, never getting a desktop PC anymore!
  • Halls of Torment
    • Enjoyed Vampire Survivors on Xbox, enjoying this one
  • Hogwarts Legacy
    • Seems really "meh", so played only couple of hours.

Finally working on The Long Dark.

Thps3 and pikmin 3.

Although I'm likely to buy baldursg gate 3 in a couple days once I've heard how it holds up

[–] Polo421@lemm.ee 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I got THPS 1+2 on epic and heroic. It's so beautiful.

I just started Bioshock 2 Remastered. It runs surprisingly well.

Control, after finishing quantum break and Alan wake before.

[–] Fubarberry@sopuli.xyz 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Control is really good, I beat it earlier this year.

I have Alan Wake and Quantum Break in my library, going to try to play them later once I catch up on some other parts of my backlog.

Stardew Valley and Halls of Torment

[–] 73ms@sopuli.xyz 3 points 1 year ago

Been playing a bit of Close Combat 3: The Russian Front. Picked it up from the summer sale and I've been wanting to try this series for as long as I've known about it (I think I read about CC2 in a gaming mag when it was new). Fun game but not the easiest to get running and nobody seems to be playing the games in this series with Deck of even a controller so I didn't really find any controller mapping for it. WNot a huge issue since the game is fairly easy to control even with just a mouse.

I tend to play lots of strategy games and such that usually rely on the mouse quite a bit, the deck is such a great device for this use case.

Currently playing FFXIV and Pumpkin Jack. I'm also testing out Space Engineers. I'm surprised it works.

[–] MinorLaceration@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I just played Spider-Man Remastered. Had a blast. Thought I might get motion sick swinging around, but it wasn't an issue at all.

Just finished Monster Sanctuary. Moving onto Super Robot Wars 30

High on Life!

[–] miikaroo@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 year ago

I play way too much FFXIV on mine, but been playing Baba is You, FFIX, Muse Dash, Downwell, Powerwash Sim, Slime Rancher 2 as well... I'm stoked that it plays the Lies of P demo pretty well!

Just finished up Diablo 4 and now I'm playing Dave the Diver.

[–] abeltramo@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

I'm currently playing Batman Arkam Knight after buying at a huge discount last week. It works flawlessly on Deck and it looks gorgeous even on the small screen, the game is also great fun; absolutely recommended!

[–] Teritz@feddit.de 2 points 1 year ago

Skul The Hero Slayer Horizon Turbo Chase

[–] Imperial_Genesis@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

The Last Epoch, Pacer and Legend Bowl.

[–] blacklizardplanet@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Just started Elden Ring for the first time a few days back. First game I played where I was generally blown away how well it runs and looks for a handheld PC.

[–] Kevadroz@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Rain World, gotta 100% the game.

[–] TheMcSqueeze@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

I'm currently playing 7 Days to Die. I'm late to the game but with the new Alpha 21 update it runs pretty well on the Deck. I had to rework some of the bindings and set the loader to Vulkan compatibility but I'm getting a consistent 45 to 60 fps in all but the most crowded cities. Haven't gone past my 3rd horde night so I'm not sure how the masses are going to cripple the game. Having a lot of fun though.

[–] BlueCapy@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

I just beat and got 100% achievements in Ender Lilies. Solid metroidvania.

[–] soulsource@discuss.tchncs.de 2 points 1 year ago

With the release of Book of Hours just around the corner, I dug out Cultist Simulator again. It runs well enough on the Steam Deck, but it needs mouse input (-> touchpads), and sometimes it flickers (this seems to be related to autosaves).

Overall it works well enough on the Deck so that it's fun to play. The flickering is annoying though.
