I'll throw in Hollow Knight as a recommendation

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 year ago

The ori games are great on deck too.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Some friends recommended this over and over for the longest time. I was never really interested, as it didn't seem like the kinda game I'd be into (2D, platformer, "metroidvania"? - wtf is that?).

I finally caved in and gave it a shot. I was super frustrated at first. I was just really bad at it. Fast forward a few months and I've played it through at least a few times. Last playthrough got me the "Speed Completion", "Steel Soul", and "Steel Heart" achievements.

Easily one of my favorite games of all time. Super excited for Silksong.

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

Ah yes silksong the game that still hasn't had a solid release date yet 🥲

[–] dasprii 1 points 1 year ago

Hollow Knight is a must play. Also super excited for Crowsworn and of course Silksong.

[–] StarManta 14 points 1 year ago

And also the other 14 typos in the title

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 year ago

Haha i did not, im on mobile, may edit it later

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 year ago

Outer Wilds, Disco Elysium and Elden Ring for me! I had not had the Steam Deck for that long though.

[–] kratoz29 8 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Can I participate even if I don't have a Steam Deck? 🥺

[–] [email protected] 15 points 1 year ago

well, according to the title we are looking for stram deck games, so you prolly good to participate

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago

Diablo IV runs really well on the Steam Deck.

[–] habanhero 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Death Stranding. Keep on keeping on!

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Oh gotta try that on the deck!

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Prey was awesome and ran great! I had a great time with Surviving Mars. Just "finished" Necesse in it's current EA form.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Did you play the DLC for Prey already? Mooncrash is really entertaining.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I haven't tried it yet! As fun as Prey was, it was also scary and stressful lol. I needed a break from the genre :)

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

Fair enough. They play pretty differently, with Mooncrash being even more stressful due to the time limit. :D

[–] StringPotatoTheory 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I hate when the steam deck fans are loud so I like playing 2D games like Vampire Survivors on it.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

Great game, they adapted it to mobile, arguably best place to play it now

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Cloudpunk has been fun to play in bed. Also Dorf Romantik. And... ah, The Ascent also runs quite nicely on the Deck, if you can get over the text size.

I go regularly also to retro games in EmuDeck.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago
[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago (2 children)

TLOZ: Breath Of The Wild, Tears of the Kingdom & Hollow Knight but what i like the most is Gnome Tetravex, no kidding

Grand Theft Auto 4 is awesome to play on the go(though it does eat battery life)

[–] freddy 4 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

I mostly emulate on mine, I just finished the darkness on ps3 and kingdom hearts on ps2. For PC I'm playing the resident evil 2 remake. The steam deck got me back into gaming. I've played more games in the year+ I've owned it than I did in the last decade.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Pizza Tower

[–] shinjiikarus 3 points 1 year ago

Picking up games I am currently playing on my gaming PC like the RE-engine Resident Evils and remakes or Jedi and Hogwarts have been my best experiences so far. Yes, graphical fidelity isn’t as good, but the general seamlessness gives serious Switch vibes, but for modern games instead of the more „mobile“ feeling of the average Switch game.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Most recently, American Truck Simulator! But a game of Human Fall Flat whenever a new map comes out never goes amiss!

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Brotato, even more now since 1.0 haha. Lots of old GBA games via RetroArch. Battle for Wesnoth is great on there too. A bunch honestly.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

I really like that you can throw like any USB/Bluetooth/Dongle controllers lying around at it to play some nice couch coop/multiplayer games when friends are around (in docked mode on a big screen oc). Stick Fight The Game with up to 4 players, Gang Beasts with up to 8, Nidhogg I and II for a tournament.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I've been having a blast with Hard space: Ship breaker, it plays great but it can eat the battery a bit

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

Have you played with kb+m before? I tried to play on the Deck but couldn't get used to the controller

[–] klay 2 points 1 year ago

Multiplayer, the Steam Deck is great for couch co-op like PlateUp! I carry a usb-c dock with hdmi out so I can put it on a friend's TV.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Shadows of Doubt is a really cool procedurally generated detective game, the performance is definitely a little iffy, but it’s still playable and very fun

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

I've been playing Nova Island lately and it's been great on Steam Deck!

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Wall World How to survive

Both great to play on the deck.

[–] mourkeer 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Outlanders and octopath traveler. They're my travel games when I'm in a car or plane for a few hours. I can get sucked into both for a while.

Keep talking and nobody explodes is fun multiplayer with the right group. The deck is nice cuz you can pass it around.

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

Persona 5 Royal on go :)

[–] GlitzyArmrest 1 points 1 year ago

Binding of Isaac Repentance is great! I've dumped so many hours into it.

[–] colormehot 1 points 1 year ago

Fallout New Vegas and Battle Brothers has been my go-tos!

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

Yakuza - any of them honestly. They run so well on the SD it’s incredible.

[–] Alatain 1 points 1 year ago

Dredge was really fun and perfect for either playing on the deck, or (as I did it) docked to a TV while my wife watched.

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

I really enjoy Snowrunner as a single player game on the deck. Truck hauling game but I’m pretty open world sceneries, it gets challenging very quickly (Dark souls but with diesel fuel). The deck runs the game fantastically so it’s a great casual game to just drop in and drop out whenever.

For multiplayer, I like the Lego Star Wars Skywalker Saga and It Takes Two (story was fucked and definitely someone’s childhood trauma story but the gameplay is well executed and fun).

[–] smore 1 points 1 year ago

Persona 5 Royal is perfect on the Deck! Been playing that before bed lately.

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

Enter the gungeon. Own it on 3 different platforms and after 100s of hours of playing it's still fun to play.

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

Kingdom two crowns, I've owned the game for a while but only really got into it with my Deck.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Single player: Hades
Multiplayer: Deep Rock Galactic, Euro Truck Simulator 2
