I’ve recently started working my way through the Telltale Games and Don’t Nod back catalogues. Strong Bad’s Cool Game For Attractive People is great fun, and Life Is Strange Before The Storm plays really well too. :)

Horizon Zero Dawn. Had it on PS4 and didn’t get far. Having a Deck changes everything.

SteamDeck is GREAT for light roguelikes. They are often designed with controller in mind and are light on the battery.

I’ve been playing

• Dead Cells
• Hades
• Slay the Spire
• Skul
• Undermine
• Vampire Survivors

All great on Deck

Dave The Diver!

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!

Usually Indies, a lot of slay the spire recently, but I’ve just started Street Fighter VI.

Tempted by System Shock next cos I never played the original.

I’ve been playing System Shock 2, the original version i got from GOG (it took a bit to make the controls work but it works fine, though i found a weird bug with non-Steam games in that if you rename the game it loses the control settings - e.g. i set up the controls when the icon was named “SS2.exe” but when i renamed it to “System Shock 2” later it lost the settings until i renamed it back to “SS2.exe” :-P).

I also played a bit of Stranger of Sword City, a turn-based and grid-based blobber. I find the deck works fine with such games.

Also both games play just fine at ~5Watt settings (i like to optimize the settings per-game to get more battery life out of the system).

I’m using it almost exclusively during commuting between my hometown and my girlfriend’s current city (nearly 4h) for which the deck is an absolute godsent

Played through the Sherlock Holmes games and now am playing the Ace Attorney games (for which the Deck is probably a bit overpowered but so what).

Not a huge fan of fast-paced games on the deck since I have a pretty good PC at home with a 144hz 1440p monitor which I really miss with games like Else Ring or (especially) Rocket League

Steam Deck best tech purchase for me in a long time. Don’t judge me too much but I’ve been playing Disney Speedstorm between TotK sessions.

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

Yeah, baby! Somebody point me in the direction of another Steam Deck subre-… Channel?

I’ve been playing lots of Street Fighter 6, but also Metroidvania indies. Currently playing through They Always Run and it’s pretty much pixel 2d Mandalorian and it’s pretty damn cool!

Played through Bioshock, I forgot how good that game was.

Playing Cyberpunk and Ace Combat.

As a toddler+newborn dad I flat out need the option of playing on TV or in bed, and instantly flipping on or off.

I honestly never dreamed of something like this when I grew up gaming on Windows 95+. Can’t wait 'til I can game with my sons.

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

Steam Deck install base: less than 2 million

Nintendo Switch install base: 125+ million

But by all means let’s talk about Steam Deck.

Here we go again…
