Right now, I’m playing the early access version of Baldurs Gate 3. I’m getting ready to put it down (frustrated: BG3 has the potential to be good, but without controller support, I’m getting really frustrated with the UI. ) and switch to Yakuza Like a Dragon. What are you playing now and what are you looking forward to playing next?

im only using the steam deck as a pc, a monitor, mouse n keyboard, so i dont play in handheld much, if i wanna play a pc game i do it with keyboard+mouse. for going outside and stuff my nintnedo switch is way better and smaller than the steam deck.

My steam deck has become an RPG machine for laying in bed. Wife and I tend to go lay in bed right after dinner, and since she falls asleep quick, I game. Always play a bit of ESO, and I'm currently playing Chained Echoes, which is a great modern take on 16bit RPGs. The writing is a little rough since it was made by one guy (he's German) and translated to English by his composer but it's got a really fun battle system and a great aesthetic.

After a few installation hiccups - Diablo 4

After completing Slay the Spire on 2 different platforms to A20 I picked up Monster Train and it's been refreshing. Fantastic title for pickup and play, and there's plenty of content in there to keep you going.

I'm catching up on Midnight Suns DLC. Marvel, turn-based combat was a dream combination for me. Shame the optimization for the Abbey is so bad and 2k shit the bed on the polish but I have wanted a game like this my whole life.

Guild Wars 2 with custom controller config. Back buttons are a godsend for that game! It also allows me camp at the trading post and make money while watching TV hehe

I usually play Short story driven games. Recently finished, firewatch, road 96, welcome to Elk, Gone Home, Donut Country, Dear Esther, Journey and in between i come back to Slay the Spire and vampire survivors.

My go-to right now is Monster Hunter Rise. Perfect pick up and play for 10 mins type of game. And since I pretty much play solo, I can suspend in the middle of a hunt with no worries.

Just got the Vampire Survivors DLC so I'm grinding out a couple runs to finish my achievement collection on that game

I’ve been playing a mix of Trails of Cold Steel 3, Dead Island Definitive Edition, and CS:GO. I just started playing for the first time recently because I didn’t want to spend $70 on Call of Duty anymore. So far, so good!

Currently doing some emulation. My hardest game right now is protecting my wallet from the steam summer sale. Shout out to whoever said "Wait until the humble choice bundle drops Tuesday"

For Baldur's Gate 3 I stopped playing after a couple of hours as the controls and Ui are not great on the deck, although have a look at the PS5 trailer as it shows the UI when used with a gamepad which will come at release.

Looks like it will be really nice with the steam deck.

I've officially reached the whatever you call the phase where you spend all your time on the Steam Deck tweaking emulators, setting up roms, tidying everything up and not play any of it.

Tinker Simulator. Comes with any and all DLC and complexity you could ever ask for.

Playing Diablo IV, Halo MCC, and No Man's Sky right now.

How's Halo Infinite right now? Player count keeping high enough to consistently find matches?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

I mostly bought MCC for the campaign. It's not a super accurate representation but steam charts shows the player count, although that includes everyone playing singleplayer.
