  Weird to discover I’m in the minority for trusting the verification check marks. Sure, I’ve played games without a check on Deck, but I usually use the check to determine how smooth and enjoyable the experience will be.

  I’ve realized I just prefer mouse and keyboard so much that I don’t find the deck as enjoyable as others. I still love it, but the number of games I’m interested in playing on it are very limited. So the check is helpful to know how comfy the game will be.

  I don’t want to waste any time setting a game up or fixing issues on Deck. It’s just not what I bought the device for.

  That being said, any recommendations for smooth, put-of-the-box games on the Deck that didn’t appear in the top 10?

    Fights in tight places is pretty good, though I think works better with a mouse.

    Tunic is actually amazing, framerate bottoms out a touch but that’s mostly me refusing to turn the settings down.

    I’ve also been playing Prince of Persia 2008, mostly to see if I could. You can enable gyro to mouse and you get up getting this neat 3d effect if you set it up right.

    I’ve only had mine for like a month but yeah, so far everything has run out of the box.

      Fights in Tight Places looks pretty fun. I’m a big deckbuilder fan, so always enjoy a new one. but that does make me wonder how Tainted Grail: Conquest runs because I really found that one to be a lot of fun. And also reminds me that before I buy a new deckbuilder I should probably play that Balatro game everyone talks about…
