  Here are some more good puzzle games that are not Portal/Portal 2:

  • Colossal Cave
  • The Entropy Centre
  • Hourglass
  • Myst
  • Obduction
  • Pneuma: Breath of Life
  • Quantum Conundrum (one of the original Portal developers was attached to this project)
  • Quern: Undying Thoughts
  • Riven (this is the sequel to Myst, but unlike Myst, it has never been remade since it first came out back in 1997, so you’ll have to excuse the old graphics and gameplay)
  • The Talos Principle (the sequel is coming out soon)
  • The Turing Test
  • The Witness

  If you can only play one of the above, then as the other commentors have said, make it The Witness. The recent remake of Myst is also very good.

  Baldur’s Gate 3 is certainly a surprise. I tried it on my Steam Deck, and not only could I not figure out how to make the graphics look decent on my monitor, but I had a problem where the game would eventually stop accepting mouse input, forcing me to quit and relaunch. I didn’t get far until I switched to the macOS version once it came out.

  How are people playing that game on a Steam Deck?

  With Whisky. It requires macOS Sonoma, which launches next week.

  I only bought the Steam Deck so I could play Windows games without having to give money to Microsoft, or pirate Windows. I’d much rather play games on macOS, but unfortunately, there are way too many games that don’t run on macOS (or used to run, but don’t anymore).

  Now that Apple has their own Windows compatibility layer in the form of the Game Porting Toolkit, I don’t use my Steam Deck as much as I did.
