Ocarina of Time. I didn’t grow up with the older games but I’m having fun so far. I’ll play the other titles afterward

Tape to Tape. It’s a roguelite hockey game that has a big sense of humor.

Witcher 3, Just finished the main story. And boy, CDPR really nailed the story/ character writing in this game. Looking to grab “Hearts of stone” & “Blood and Wind” DLC next GOG sale.

What an amazing 50hr time sink!

Persona5Strikers. Got it last month with humblebundle’s choice, and it’s pretty good. My first ever persona game…

  Did you have to use GE-proton to get it to run? I think that used to be a requirement, but I’m curious if it runs without it now.

Mostly CrossCode. A fun little sci-fi action puzzler that pays homage to the SNES era of games. It’s similar to Spirit of Mana. Low power requirements, and it has a Linux-native version that works better than the Windows version (you need updated engine files if you play from itch.io).

I’m also playing a little bit of No Man’s Sky, but just here and there; I’m mostly playing that on my desktop.

  Do you play No Mans Sky alone or with friends? I picked it up for my deck but havent tried it out yet… Unfortunately one of the reasons why I have a deck is my PC can’t handle some games

    Alone. I don’t currently have friends that play it, but I still have a good time. Works great on Deck, and you can even make use of HDR settings, if you have an OLED version.

I bought Vampire Survivors since it was slightly discounted and have only heard rave reviews about it… I sank 7 hours in my first day lol!!

Picked up all the DLCs too. Imo worth the money to support the developer

  I have it on my tablet (Android), and I love it. It is so simple, but satisfying.

Hardspace: Shipbreaker. After a rough day of work, there’s something incredibly soothing about dismantling a spaceship over a couple of hours.

  Me too! I’m playing it on the easiest mode so I can just not stress and enjoy the hygge of breaking down spaceships

    Same here. No oxygen depletion, and go about tearing that thing apart slowly. One thing I haven’t managed is to grab the bunny. I mean, I do grab it, but can’t get it to appear in my quarters, it just sticks to my hand until I let go.

Sea of Stars. 🌊✨

It’s a really well done, turn based style rpg.

Been enjoying it a lot.

Honestly mostly been learning blender, I am sure sure nobody ever intended blender to be used on a handheld gaming system but that is the beauty of the steam deck right?

Also been playing some everdell.

Coincidentally I had just downloaded Apex to start playing with a friend :(

  I purchased a new monitor and video card right before rockstar pull their stunt with gta v. They arrived the day after I was locked out of gta online. So I feel your pain.

  I’m interested in the “how”

  - supersquirrel@sopuli.xyz ⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago
    Just install blender from the discover app on the steam desktop, add it to steam as a non-steam game and you can launch it as you would any other game.
    
    As for controls I prefer joysticks + gyro, but that is just me.

I picked up Persona 5 Royale during the sale for 30 bucks.

I was a huge fan of P4G on the PSVita.

P5R is so stylish and it does such a great job of speeding up so much of tedium by allowing fast travel to most places.

Everything feels so snappy, the soundtrack is killer, the gameplay is fun. Runs like a dream on the OLEDeck. I’ve been enjoying taking it slow and getting to know the characters. Just finished the first palace.

Yakuza Like a Dragon. Super fun and super silly, runs perfectly on Deck @40FPS but boy is it a battery hog.

Visions of Mana. I’m almost at the end and I have been putting off beating it because then I will be sad.

  Tried it on the Deck in TV mode, but the frame rates dropped so much during boss fights / class strikes I went back to finishing it on PC. I guess on the small screen I could have dropped the settings further, but on TV that was really hard on the eyes. Which is sad, as I mainly got the deck as a “switch but for pc games”. Guess it’ll mostly only work for pixel art games etc. for me.

I’ve been playing a whole lot of Metaphor ReFantizio, and highly recommend it.

I enjoy the persona games, but I actually do like a fantasy setting more than the modern day setting of persona. I also find some of Persona’s mechanics make the game more tedious than it should be (You have to equip a matching persona before spending your time with someone socially, and you have to get the right conversation responses or spend multiple time slots building social points), and Metaphor gets rid of those points of frustration. The road trip aspect is really fun too, overall I’m having a great time with it.

Wilmot Works It Out - much simpler than Wilmot’s Warehouse, an extremely enjoyable puzzle game.

Windblown plays really well on the SD. Developed by Motion Twin, same folks behind Dead Cells. Rogue-like that plays similar to Hades but has some persistent upgrades like Dead Cells.

Haven’t been playing much on it since I haven’t felt like playing because college, but the last few times I have, I was busy dragging myself to play Fallout New Vegas to some day finally complete a run for the first time in any fallout game. Otherwise, I don’t think I’ve played any other games.

Loop Hero . Picked it up for last week for just under $5 and it’s been a lot of fun.

It’s an Indie rogue-like with a surprising amount going on.

My favorite being is that it mixes a deck builder rogue-like with building a world each run.

The “permanent upgrades” (outside of the game-loop) are pretty interesting as well- building a village/city and managing supplies.

Dave the Diver. I was playing a pirated copy through October, it was a lot of fun so when it went on sale last week I bought it.

@Fubarberry I've been playing Half-Life docked with a steam controller and its been fantastic. The steam controller is so good for fps games.

Ys X Nordics. Tons of fun.

  Had a great time with YS 8, been meaning to pick up 9 or 10 whenever they have a decent sale.

    Like most Ys games, they’re a trudge at first, and some graphical letdown, but they’re still great stories with great characters. I remind myself to power through the beginning each Ys game and eventually find myself loving it.

Just finished the visual novel ISLAND, read on the Deck for the most part.

Next in line would be finally continuing with Pocket Mirror. Afterwards, looking forward to buying Dredge.

I’ve been playing The Axis Unseen. Framerate can be a bit rough at times, but some patches fixed the worst of it and made it playable.

Death Crown

Narita Boy

Citizen Sleeper

Dave the Diver

Deep Rock Galactic Survivor

60 Parsecs!

In Other Waters
