    Need for Speed Heat. I forgot how much fun the NFS games could be. Plus it looks gorgeous both docked and undocked.

    I’m also working my way through the Yakuza series, about ⅔ through Kiwami 2 at the moment.

      NFS Heat is my favorite one. Good soundtrack, and the different track types and gameplay between day and night really keeps it interesting.

    So far just subnautica. I have never played it before, but it definitely fits the handheld vibe more than the keyboard and mouse one.

    The Talos principle 2. I liked the first one but this one is so much better.

    It runs great on SD except I would prefer some text to be larger. It is readable it’s just a bit uncomfortable for my eyes.

      I’ve found the deck magnification shortcut to be unhelpful when I’ve used it - often because the resolution of the text isn’t high enough for it to look legible when blown up.

    Satisfactory runs great on the deck, takes a bit of doing to get the control scheme working well. It’s a serious time sink though. Loads to do. Currently moving from my starter factory to my first mega factory.

      Did you publish your control scheme on steam input I haven’t found any that are steam deck focused that really work?

    The usual balatro with some skyrim and euro truck simulator on the side.

    Right now i’m looking for some management game, because euro truck does not scratch the itch enough.

      Have you gotten Greece yet? I just started driving it this week after speed running the winter challenge lol

      • azezeB@discuss.tchncs.de ⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago

        Nope, it’s actually my first “playthrough” and i do not have a world of truck account. Do you think it’s worth it if i’m a beginner?

    I’m playing some Unicorn Overlord, it took a while to kick in but now I’m totally hooked.

    My 11 year old brother was told he can’t beat DOOM Eternal on Ultra Nightmare (1 life mode) given only 100 hours of playtime. I told him there’s absolutely no chance he can do that if he’s on Xbox or PS, and to prove it to him I’ve been letting him try on my Steam Deck which is essentially a console controller++

    Credit where it’s due, he’s great with the thumbsticks but he’s changed difficulty from Nightmare to Ultra Violence a few too many times to instill any confidence that he could do this lol

      is he using gyro? That is the kingpin skill that will make it work

    I’m enjoying Marvel Midnight Suns. It has very fun combat tactics, I probably should turn up the difficulty but I love flinging soldier at each other.

    I just wish it turned down the social elements a little bit. The game feels like it was a fan fiction dream of its writers and so you spend time going to a book club with Blade or having your supporting comments rejected by turbo-grump Captain Marvel. It’s also hard to absorb drama behind a premise such as “People can get perma-hypnotized.”

    Heroes of Hammerwatch, Windblown, and Risk of Rain 2

    Been nice since the SO also has a steam deck now.

    Mother 3 fan translation, gives me 7 hours of battery :) always loved Earthbound so it’s nice to finally play the “sequel”

    Bit late to the party but slay the spire and dredge

  • InternetCitizen2@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago

    Helldiver’s 2, witcher 3, and hades.

    I've fired up What Remains of Edith Finch and handed it to my teenaged niece. That seems to be going well.

    I’ve been swept up by Palworld. I started my own server up for my partner, myself and some of my friends. My partner and I played most of last night waiting for the ball to drop. I may have gone a little overboard trying to breed the perfect Pals.

    I recently started Bombrush Cyberfunk and I’m enjoying it. The combat isn’t great, and the music doesn’t work as well as the original JSR soundtrack, but otherwise it’s really good and I recommend it.

    To clear my backlog a bit I recently played Little Kitty, Big City, Smushi Come Home and now Paper Trails. Currently more on the ‘cosy train’ of games. I think Little Kitty, Big City was the first game I played on the Deck that implements the Steam Input API.

  • QubaXR@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago

    Isles of Sea and Sky, Logiart Grimoire and Persona 3 Reload.

    All feel like they’ve been made for deck. Great games, too.

    Started playing Spiritfarer and UFO50 in the last couple weeks and will likely play them into the beginning of 2025.

    I decided to stop playing Mario and Luigi Superstar Saga because the game became too tedious and I wasn’t having as much fun with it. A shame because I loved M&L Dream Team and wanted to start from its roots.

    Now currently playing Sea of Stars and Hades.

    My wife and I are squandering the power of our gaming devices by just playing Balatro on them 24/7. She’s on the Deck, I’m streaming from my PC to my Retroid.

    parh of exile 2, campaign and maps up to tier 5 ran fine so far :)

    also bought the soul reaver remake, but path of exile 2 ran fine so far…

      Glad to hear it. I have been holding off on PoE2 since I almost exclusively play on my Deck and have heard some mixed things.

        vulkan renderer, everything on low, fsr, no dynamic resolution.

        i am playing a grenade throwing merc, framerate was mostly stable @ 30fps but i can see how a summoner build or some of thos crazy walking firework simulators people turn there chars into might be to much for the deck.

        higher tier maps might also be tough as they contain more rare monster, with more effects, but i don’t know how many people even interact with that kind of content, iam certainly far away from it playing without trading.

    NEVA. SIFU is up next, got it free a couple days ago! Been mostly playing on desktop lately though (FFXVI)

    Curse of the Golden Idol + DLCs

    Second play through of crosscode. This time, with the inflated damage glitch applied (option from new game plus)

    I’ve been playing CP2077 again with the new patch. I also got God of War: Ragnarök for Christmas, so I’ve been playing that as well.

    The Akham trilogy, I’m playing Akham City at the moment with the HD texture pack.

    • Fubarberry@sopuli.xyz ⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago

      Arkham City was such a good game, I have really fond memories of it.

    • Skald: Against the Black Priory
    • Mud Runners

    • Fubarberry@sopuli.xyz ⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago

      How’s Skald? It looks interesting

      source
      • F04118F@feddit.nl ⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago

        It is. Very atmospheric, and I’m sure there’s a whole lot more depth to things like combat and crafting if you’re interested.

        For me it’s just an easy and accessible story RPG. The text-based dialogue and turn-based mechanics make it ideal for on the road gaming IMO. You can look up from your screen or suspend and drop the Deck into your bag at any point.

        The writing is great and the game feels much, much, much more fluid than the actual old games it is based on. A lot of love and care has been put into this. It’s very affordable too.

        Fill disclosure: I happen to know the artist who did the character art.

    Really chill game.

  • bjoern_tantau@swg-empire.de ⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago

    Last games I played were Life is Strange: Double Exposure and after that the phenomenal The Excavation of Hob’s Barrow.

    Currently I’m playing through Diablo 2 again.
