For it it has been Hollow Knight, Left 4 Dead 2, and Transport Fever 2.
Brotato as a mindless standby.
Hogwarts Legacy is running pretty damn well, as did Cyberpunk 2077.

Tolstoshev@lemmy.world 10 months ago
Any particular ones you recommend?
deadfeet@sh.itjust.works 10 months ago
Vampire Survivors and Death Must Die are fun on the Deck.

Baldur’s gate 3
On a side note, I’ve been playing Dirt Rally 2.0 which is listed as straight up not supported, but it’s been going great for me!
M500@lemmy.ml 10 months ago
Baldur’s Gate 3 is addicting. I think I am getting near the end of the main story, but I am not 100% sure. Pausing the game on the SteamDeck is the only reason I am able to sink so many hours into this game.
I’ll say it again, SteamDeck is the only platform that I will game on from here on out. It is exactly what I have always wanted. A PC that acts like a console. I love the handheld aspect as I can be on the sofa or in bed with my wife while gaming.
Nima@leminal.space 10 months ago
I’m in the same boat as you are. I have moved all my gaming and emulation fully to the steam deck. It’s just too damn easy to just pick it up whenever.
and yeah BG3 I have to put on hold every now and then cause it just will rip time away so fast. I just get lost in it.
proper@lemmy.world 10 months ago
bloodstained, P5R, halls of torment, yakuza 3, risk of rain returns, project zomboid, and streets of rogue.
I highly recommend pony island, the longing, and yuppie psycho as well.
Macaroni_ninja@lemmy.world 10 months ago
These are pretty much always installed on my Deck: Dead Cells Dragons Dogma Binding of Isaac Children of Morta
These I finished recently on SD in one form or other: Dishonored The Stick of truth
…but there are plenty
stoy@lemmy.zip 10 months ago
How well does Dishonored run the Steam Deck? I have been thinking of getting one and Dishonored is one of the games I want to play on it.
Macaroni_ninja@lemmy.world 10 months ago
Awesome. Smooth 60 fps on mid-high settings and battery life was around 3 hours.
Also loading times were like 2-3 sec so it’s one of the best titles for the Deck I experienced so far.
zaphod@lemmy.ca 10 months ago
I played D2 on the deck and it worked fine after tuning the graphics settings. Though I fully admit when things for tricky I docked and used kb&m.
topinambour_rex@lemmy.world 10 months ago
Limbo & Inside.
Nima@leminal.space 10 months ago
been hitting Dragon Age Inquisition hard since the controller fix proton-ge workaround got released.
it looks beautiful in handheld and when I play in docked I’m noticing that textures look nicer than they did on my Xbox.
such a fun game. 🤘
gothic_lemons@lemmy.world 10 months ago
You know of any way to get dragon age origins or dragon age 2 to work on steam deck with a controller? Everything I tried felt clunky and weird
Nima@leminal.space 10 months ago
I have not, sadly. I dearly wish I could help.
uninvitedguest@lemmy.ca 10 months ago
This is what I needed to hear. I have a save from 2016 that I’ve been wanting to finish, but bounced off of it on deck because I had to map all KB+M controls to make it happen.
After I finish The Witcher 3 (which has an amazing experience in the deck), this is where I’m headed.
Nima@leminal.space 10 months ago
I’m with you. I couldn’t get the keyboard and mouse rebind to feel anywhere close to comfortable.
I have only ever played DAI with a controller. So I was very happy that I found the proton-ge version.
Rosco@sh.itjust.works 10 months ago
Terraria
M500@lemmy.ml 10 months ago
I discovered this game like two years ago and it got me super addicted. I can’t believe how sucked in I got. I’ve had trouble getting into a second play through, I am not sure why. Maybe it is because the mystery is gone.
BentiGorlich@gehirneimer.de 10 months ago
I've been enjoying FactorIO a lot lately. Just a great game and playable on the steam deck, unlike Satisfactory.
Lemmchen@feddit.de 10 months ago
Please don’t call it Factor-IO.
BentiGorlich@gehirneimer.de 10 months ago
I don't, just didn't know how it is spelled and thought they did it this way. I pronounce it in one word "factorio". I think the small "i" in their logo confused me 😅
russjr08@bitforged.space 10 months ago
Rocket League, which before I had my Deck I didn’t even really get into all that much so it kinda took me by surprise. Seems to even have no problem playing at the high quality graphics levels at a steady 90 FPS too.
Additionally, since EA is having a massive sale right now I picked up Burnout Paradise and the mass effect legendary edition, along with all of the NFS games.
9715698@lemmy.world 10 months ago
Yakuza Kiwami right now (although I haven’t picked it up in a while).
euphoric_cat@lemmy.blahaj.zone 10 months ago
[deleted]msage@programming.dev 10 months ago
I wish I could play Yakuza 0 for the first time again… such a high quality experience, nothing came even remotely close.
5 and 6 aren’t playable on the deck, so I play Like a Dragon… it’s decent.
Anyone played Judgement?
Fizz@lemmy.nz 10 months ago
Portal reloaded and portal revolution are pretty great on deck.
systemglitch@lemmy.world 10 months ago
Halls of Torment. Easily my favourite deck game.
Father_Redbeard@lemmy.ml 10 months ago
Came to say the same. Just one more run…
mudle@lemmy.ml 10 months ago
Literally found myself saying that 2 hours later.
Rigal@lemmy.world 10 months ago
Dicey dungeons rogue like like slay the spire but changing cards with dices and abilities. The battery lasts forever in that game.
ggnoredo@lemm.ee 10 months ago

InternetCitizen2@lemmy.world 10 months ago
Quite the menu, are you doing those on emulators or are they ported?
ggnoredo@lemm.ee 10 months ago
Some of them played through emudeck or heroic game launcher
Boinkage@lemmy.world 10 months ago
Marvel Midnight Suns is perfect on deck.
soulsource@discuss.tchncs.de 10 months ago
Some cool SD verified games nobody mentioned yet:
- Hades
- Cult of the Lamb
- Potion Craft (really great gamepad support)
- Against the Storm (though the controls take a while to get used to)
- Griftlands
- Terraformers
InternetCitizen2@lemmy.world 10 months ago
Is the lamb good? Looks interesting
soulsource@discuss.tchncs.de 10 months ago
Yes, it’s pretty neat. Though I must confess that I stopped playing at some point and rather continued playing Hades instead.
swordsmanluke@programming.dev 10 months ago
I do a surprisingly large amount of my gaming on the steam deck these days. My poor PC lies abandoned. Anyway… here are some great games that I’ve played recently on the deck. Some of them are Yellow - usually to use the keyboard for something minor.
- Dead Cells: Roguelite action platformer
- Tekken 8: best entry in years
- Beneath Oresa: wildly stylish roguelite deck-builder
- Roguebook: another roguelite deck builder - by Richard Garfield.
- Talos Principle 2: Puzzles and Philosophy
- Chants of Sennar: explore a mysterious tower and learn the languages - and lost history - of the inhabitants.
- Doom & Doom Eternal: you know these
- Tunic: Zelda Classic - but with deep puzzles
- Inscryption: deck-building horror puzzler… that is soooo much deeper than what it seems.
A final, hesitant recommendation for
- Dome Keeper: Roguelike Mr. Driller meets Paratrooper, with a tight one-more-run game play loop that is insanely satisfying.
But… the menus don’t work right for me in docked play - the A button is only randomly accepted. … but it works fine in handheld mode. (The controls work fine in-game as well, it’s only menus that have trouble.)
weston@techhub.social 10 months ago
@swordsmanluke @steamdeck Having a gaming PC in the house is still useful for me. I use it to remote play games that don’t run great on the steam deck or eat too much battery. Like Starfield or Baldurs gate 3. Only issue is there is currently a gamma bug in remote play making everything dark. I hope valve fixes it soon.
swordsmanluke@programming.dev 10 months ago
I’ve streamed a few games but I’m on wifi and it’s… fine? Like it works better than it has any right to, but anything that requires fast inputs has been iffy.
Even BG3 I generally preferred playing on the actual hardware instead of streaming.
Flaky@iusearchlinux.fyi 10 months ago
Levelhead if you’re a fan of precision platformers. It’s very much a cuter level creator but it does have its own “story mode” of sorts as well.
vala@lemmy.world 10 months ago
This is a really cool game. I wish more people played it.
robotrono@lemmy.sdf.org 10 months ago
Inside and Limbo are great on theck deck. I’ve very much enjoyed Little Nightmares, although checkpoints are sometimes a littler further apart than I’d like. Currently working through Mass Effect which is great but taking up lots of time. With Bastion on sale for $2.99 that’s another very good one.
zecg@lemmy.world 10 months ago
Greedland is great on deck
Secret300@sh.itjust.works 10 months ago
Don’t have a deck yet but once I get one I play to play persona 5 royal
helenslunch@feddit.nl 10 months ago
Ghostrunner
zaphod@lemmy.ca 10 months ago
Just started finally playing through Manifold Garden and after switching to M&K emulation with the stick and touchpad, plus some tweaks, it’s played extremely well.
Jz5678910@lemdro.id 10 months ago
Like a dragon infinite wealth, one of my favorite franchises and it runs very well on deck.
filister@lemmy.world 10 months ago
I really enjoyed Dredge, Dave the diver runs also great on the Deck, but personally Dredge is more beautiful and controls are feeling more intuitive.
I also enjoyed The Forgotten City, the Long Dark, and The Outer Wilds.
Heck even God of war runs surprisingly well on the Deck.
The only problem I have is with shooters, because of the finicky aiming mechanism, even with the trackpad.
proper@lemmy.world 10 months ago
have you tried the gyro aiming features?
check out apature desk job if you haven’t yet as there is a neat gyro aiming section and it’s free.
danielquinn@lemmy.ca 10 months ago
Not OP, but I didn’t know this was a thing, so thank you!
anguo@lemmy.ca 10 months ago
I always activate it for shooters, then remember I play mostly in the subway.
CybranM@feddit.nu 10 months ago
Can second dredge, really solid on the deck!
