New Super Lucky Tale
Fun platformed that I just recently got. Charming game so far. Just barely beat the first boss.
Mail Mole
I’ve had it for a while longer. Another platformer, but some of the side characters models don’t look super pretty. Still fun enough
Those have been my recent steam deck games. That, and the Kila Flow demo, another platformer. Been trying to make sure my next steam yearly wrap up thing says I played more platformers this year so the genre shows up on that wrap up thing.

I got a bunch of the Resident Evil games on sale, so I’ve been playing RE6. It’s fun and runs incredibly well on the Deck (I didn’t know what to expect). There are way too many RE games to know what the hell is going on in the story now, but I’ve always liked 1-5, so figured I finally needed to play the rest.

I finally finished Spider-Man: Miles Morales and just started Spider-Man 2. Man, that game runs like ass on the Deck while I have to make it look worse than the previous two.
And it actually feels like what I’m experiencing are bugs and not necessarily the Steam Deck’a fault. Stuff like models popping in without animations. I remember seeing pictures of that when it was new. Strange that they didn’t manage to fix it. Couldn’t they just have stayed on the old engine? It worked perfectly fine!

Just finished control, starting Firewatch next.

Just bought the Assassins Creed 2 trilogy (which I’ve played before) About 1 hour into the first one.
I’ve realised how far we’ve come in terms of parkour and camera angles in games. Slightly infuriating having to go back but enjoying it none the less.
Also, faces (especially eyes) in terms of graphics. Really creepy sometimes

Getting into Esoteric Ebb. Enjoying it so far, though I do dislike some aspects of it (the combat fucking sucks and the D&D racism is tiring).
SmoothOperator@lemmy.world 7 hours ago
What is D&F racism? Orcs are barbaric ace wielders and elves are sophisticated archers?
flamingos@feddit.uk 7 hours ago
Yeah, the whole race bioessentialism, especially the concept of evil races, that is so endemic to D&D and fantasy as a whole.

I was playing a couple games, but I’ve dropped everything else to focus on playing Sekiro.
Fantastic game, I never got into the regular Dark Souls games that much, so I’ve kinda avoided it. But I find parry focused combat incredibly satisfying, and the streamlining of some of the mechanics is nice too.

If it helps, Sekiro is kind of an outlier. I love soulslike games but I can’t stand Sekiro.

Mewgenics, that french song game whatever its called 33, and the outbound demo.
Mewgenics makes for a good handheld game all though the angle of the view of the playing field on a small screen is a bit cluttered and hard to tell sometimes what is there. I haven’t tried it on the desktop.

Nine Sols and I’m loving it

Picked up 2018’s God Of War to play.
It’s been a good time so far (~3 hours in).

It’s a really good game. It used to have a memory leak on integrated GPUs (like the Deck and laptops) that would cause full Deck crashes after awhile. Hopefully zRAM has fixed that, if the game didn’t fix the memory leak itself.
TheMinions@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 hours ago
I played for about 2.5 hours Sunday night without crashing, so maybe it was fixed? Not sure.
I do know that it chews through my battery something fierce if I don’t cap the frames at around 40 FPS.
Went from 33% to 18% in about 15 minutes.

With the new Backpack Battles update I’ve been checking out the new content on the Deck.

Vampire Survivors is still my go-to as I only get a little time here and there and the 30min cap on a run fits nicely.

Monster Train 2. I have 1 more challenge run left before reaching 100% completion of those. Then I might finally pick up the DLC and try to finish 100% of clan combos at max crucible level.
Only then will I allow myself to pick up Slay the Spire 2. I try to avoid early access games, but will make an exception here.
In MT1 last month, I beat 100% class combos at C20. The challenges were less fun because they required you to play at C20, and I felt like that difficulty permanently limited what strategies were viable. Challenges in 2 are zanier and most are at a lower difficulty, so it’s altogether more fun.
