Just finishing up Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade on my Deck; it’s been a blast. Once I wrap that up I’m probably going to tackle Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown. On the side, I kind of constantly have Fallout 4 and Automobilista 2 going.

Going through Control again since the sequel comes out in a few months.

Back to Valheim again for a bit. A local gaming group fired up a new server, so I am back into building massive bases into the side of mountains.

I stay away from early access, so now that this is imminent-I decided to give Valheim a try. It’s super fun and I’m not sure why. It’s grindy af, and I don’t think there’s any new and novel mechanics - but I’m hooked.
Maybe the difficulty and the fact I’m just playing blind? Man, sailing for the first time was cool. Then I decided to land in the swamp, at night, for the first time ever - ya, that didn’t end well…. Kinda had to start over, couldn’t even get to my corpse lol. Brutal but fun…

I’ve got 1500+ hours in it overall, though I suspect I left it on the menu screen and fell asleep a few times to reach that number.
It still scratches the rpg/builder/cooperative itch for me, even though I mostly just solo build stuff now.
The challenge of trying to build big and taller with the weight/support mechanic seems to pull me back.
Then sailing does too. I’ve been revisiting the ashlands a bit as well, trying to get my block/dodge timing back up to par before 1.0 hits later this year.

Parking Garage Rally Racer. Fun little racing game with retro 3d graphics.
Also resumed playing Cat Quest. Simple Lite-RPG where you can leave it for a year and come back to.
auzy1@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
Humble bundle I assume?
tiberius@lemmy.ca 2 weeks ago
Yes, Parking Garage Rally Circuit was from a humble bundle but Cat Quest was a free EGS game.
I discovered Parking Garage Rally Circuit on TechDweeb. I was lucky and waited long enough for a bundle. youtube.com/@techdweeb

Which one of the three Cat Quest game would you recommend for kids? Part 2 seems like a good co-op based on the description.
tiberius@lemmy.ca 3 weeks ago
Cat Quest 2 or 3 if co-op is a requirement.
I hear 2 is a longer game but 3 has better QoL features.

Mass Effect Andromeda. Runs great on the deck. also been hitting Terraria fairly hard with a friend.
agentTeiko@piefed.social 3 weeks ago
The Ace Attorney games I’m really enjoying the storylines.

briefly played some Caves of Qud on mine while HVAC tech was here doing regular maintenance.
I almost exclusively play Qud with a keyboard (vim style key bindings) but they did a decent job at adapting controls to the Deck, albeit with some memorization required
Fubarberry@sopuli.xyz 2 weeks ago
Yeah, I thought the deck controls worked surprisingly well. I had tried playing with community control layout before there was an official control scheme, but that was much less intuitive.
crunchy@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 weeks ago
I’ve been playing Final Fantasy XIV while my wife and I are watching TV in the evening. I’m still adjusting to the gamepad controls, but it runs great and it’s relaxing to grind out leveling content.

Tainted Grail. I made a necroarcher and having a blast
Prove_your_argument@piefed.social 3 weeks ago
So much better than I expected. Reviews back around release made it sound so rough.
Summoning does seem to make the game very easy. I went from getting wrecked every time I encountered stuff to being able to handle enemies that one shot me simply by having fodder. I consider this to be a boon for the game because there should be many playable options and not all should be equally difficult.
Feels like skyrim but with actually good combat. The amount of random stuff everywhere to uncover is crazy.
colourlesspony@pawb.social 3 weeks ago
I’ve been playing project zomboids. I suck at it lol
Fubarberry@sopuli.xyz 3 weeks ago
Yeah I suck at it a lot. I have a friend who plays a lot, so I thought I could learn by playing with him. But he insists we need to play on harder difficulties so I don’t pick up bad habits, and it makes it nearly impossible for me to progress at all when I play with him.

I’ve been playing Granblue Fantasy Relink, and I’ve been really enjoying it. Big DLC for it releases this month, so I’m trying to get caught up to play with friends once the DLC comes out.
Great game, really fun on deck. There are some minor fps drops during character discussions in the town, but performance has been really good during gameplay. Combat system is really fun. There’s a big end game loop that’s similar to monster hunter, where you do boss fights to farm upgrades and materials.

Started playing Monomyth recently. I’m not far in yet but seems pretty good so far.
RabbitMix@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 weeks ago
Decided to finally give the Batman Arkham games a shot, oh and I’m still in the middle of another Fallout NV run.
dkppunk@piefed.social 3 weeks ago
I’ve been trying to play Boyfriends Dungeon and Star Wars Podracer, but I fucked up my thumb last week and can’t use the left joystick without significant pain. It’s not broken, just fucked it up bad.
So I downloaded The Shapeshifting Detective and a few other FMV games since I can play thise 100% right handed
SatansMaggotyCumFart@piefed.world 3 weeks ago
Doing a new run through fallout 4.
Deeply flawed game with moments of brilliance.
iamthetot@piefed.ca 3 weeks ago
Dusklight.

- 9 Kings has been great on the deck until you have an army consisting of tens of thousands of soldiers. Then it just gets bogged down.
- Witch Knight: I have been working to finish this game. I do not think bullet hell’s are my thing since I’m not great at the game, but it is enjoyable enough that I want to finish it.
As a side note, is there any built in save syncing for Dark Souls II: SotFS? I started my save on my HTPC but would like to be able to play on either system.
Fubarberry@sopuli.xyz 3 weeks ago
Decky has multiple save sync plugins that will allow automatic save syncing between different devices. Many of them are just plugin versions of standard file syncing software, that will have a matching PC client.
You have to have both your PC and your deck awake at the same time for most of them to sync though, unless you add a middle point like Google drive that’s always available for sync.
voytrekk@sopuli.xyz 3 weeks ago
I use syncthing for other stuff, but I consider my SteamDeck and HTPC as untrusted devices. I will give ludensavi a look.
bjoern_tantau@swg-empire.de 3 weeks ago
I’m hooked on the Gothic Remake. It runs like garbage. I can barely get 30 fps. Sometimes. But I’m still having a great time. I’m on my third run.
Next up is Kingdom Come Deliverance 2. Hope that runs better. KCD 1 ran great.
reluctant_squidd@lemmy.ca 3 weeks ago
I played KCD2 on my deck and it was decent. You’re in for another pretty good yarn.
