It’s been mostly Isaac as usual but I picked up Shotgun King yesterday and I like it a lot. It’s a fast-playing roguelite with a neat idea that’s implemented well. The game mechanics remind me of Hoplite on mobile.
The game is currently on sale and has a free demo. It has good controller input and low resource use, a great fit for the Deck.

I picked this up about 2 months ago. Took me about 100 hours before I could put it down.

Backpack Battles. It’s an inventory management based auto-battler. Chill game and I like spatial puzzle a lot.
The game uses the Godot engine and it runs great on the deck. The UI is very smooth and thoughtfully designed.
A neat thing about the battle system is that it’s fully asynchronous. No matchmaking delay and it even works offline. I believe it works by preloading a number of opponent-builds at the beginning of the run. - Comment on Do you still use your Steam Deck much? 5 months ago:
Too much if I am honest about it. Currently obsessed with DRG: Survivor and I’ve put in an embarrassing number of hours in the last couple weeks.

Picked up Deep Rock Galactic: Survivor a few days ago and I’m now 20 hours in, really enjoying it. It’s a very thematic translation of the original DRG into a survivor game. The terrain and mining are a great addition to the survivor formula, it’s not only for resource collection but it also gives a new twist to the positioning puzzle. The game seems very well suited for more content so I hope that it will keep coming.

Great idea!
I’ll probably stick with Firefox but I will set this up using the Vimium browser extension which has a very similar hint based link selection.

Traveling right now and I am playing Dead Cells. It’s gentle on the battery and I am fairly new to the game so lots to explore.

Finally picked up Dead Cells from the current sale. I play a lot of roguelikes/lites but never been much into Castlevania so I was skeptical. But a few hours into it I find myself enjoying it more and more. It feels good to get better at it which is a key ingredient for great games.
The game is perfect for the deck, gentle on the battery, works great at the screen resolution, excellent controller support.

Brotato is a perfect game for the Deck and it’s my favorite from the “auto shooter” genre.

100-200 of screws then? No wonder it takes so long.

Add ergonomics, controller quality and the trackpads on top of that.

I was used to the standard layout from playing on the desktop so I didn’t even bother to look at alternatives: move with left stick, shoot with buttons, activate items with triggers and bumpers.
I am curious which part are you unhappy with. Should be easy to customize.

I’ve been on a Binding of Isaac binge. I thought that I had my fill with it over the years but the deck has really put a new life into it. It’s a perfect fit. And I am finding myself playing it again even on the desktop. I thought that I wasn’t gonna need Repentence but I guess I will have to get it now.
- Comment on Hades on Steam Deck is a blast 1 year ago:
Brotato is worth checking out too especially for those who enjoy Vampire Survivors. Plays very smoothly on the deck.
In both Vampire and Brotato I make the right stick act as left too, nice to be able to switch hands any time.
