I am thoroughly whelmed.

Dredge. Should be a perfect Deck on the sofa after work kinda game.

I was a little skeptical given the darker parts of the game. However, it truly wasn't an issue and I adapted to how the game worked. Now I just glide through the water and do my fishing and dredging. Such relaxation.

Probably buying Cult of the Lamb. Waiting to get my OLED Deck first though, still only at "packaged". :/

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

My spouse loves that game, super cute art style and creative concept.

Just bought Lil Gator Game, Just finished Lil Gator Game.

Was moved to tears multiple times.

In all seriousness, I recommend it as fuck. And it plays amazing on the deck too.

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

That game looks a bit like "a short hike" thanks for the tip, bought it

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

It is! I loved both, you're in for a treat!

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 year ago (2 children)

I just got Tunic and Unpacking on sale.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

You're in for a treat with Tunic.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I found the intro to be really obtuse but dang if pushing through didn't pay off. That game is great.

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

I really enjoyed it though I found some of the later puzzles to be so obscure and difficult that I ended up looking up a lot of answers.

I just got a 2nd hand Oculus Rift S for cheap, so I'm gonne take a look at the VR offers, as this is my first VR experience.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Half life Alyx is sitting at $20 right now just a friendly heads up

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

Thanks! I already bought that one. Jeez it's immersive!

Beat Saber & VTOL VR are my recommendations for VR games that can be more then a 30min ExpErIEncE.

You didn’t ask, I know… :-)

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

It's appreciated anyway! Put beat saber on my wishlist!

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

I wholeheartedly recommend Synth Riders if you're into rhythm games!

[–] 8osm3rka 3 points 1 year ago

If you're a gun enthusiast or just would like to mess around with some of the most detailed weapons VR has to offer, I strongly recommend trying out H3VR (Hotdogs, Horseshoes and Hand Grenades is the full name I believe). Yes, it has never been on sale since it came out, but it's 100% worth the 20 bucks they're asking for. There's also an awesome multi-player mod for it called H3MP, as well as heaps of other content mods.

[–] Waluigis_Talking_Buttplug 2 points 1 year ago

Skyrim VR is on sale, you NEEEEEEEEEEEEED to mod it to make it playable (it's a dogshit port). I tried pirating it but the mods required to make it a good VR experience only work with a different version

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (2 children)

I just got a Steam Deck and will be using it as a console with my wife & kids - in that light I've bought a lot of smaller co-op and local multiplayer games:

  • Stick Fight: The Game
  • Stikbold! A Dodgeball Adventure
  • Moving Out
  • Broforce
  • Cook, Serve, Delicious
  • Portal 2
  • Rubber Bandits
  • HOT WHEELS UNLEASHED
  • Horizon Chase Turbo
  • Ultimate Chicken Horse
  • Human Fall Flat
  • CarX Drift Racing Online
  • Nidhogg
  • Sonic and All-Stars Racing Transformed Collection

We'll see what else we'll go for, but that should help us get started :)

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

I recommend giving Plate Up a look!

[–] moonburster 3 points 1 year ago

Toybox turbo is a easy recommend. Short games with a fun mp mode

[–] filister 6 points 1 year ago (5 children)

I am eyeing Dave the Diver and The Forgotten City. I am just waiting to get my OLED Deck and start playing them.

I don't really need any new game as I have a substantial backlog and hopefully with the Deck I will start to clear it.

I am already looking forward to the holidays.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

I went into The Forgotten City completely blind and found it to be very compelling and creative experience that I didn't want to stop playing. I hope you enjoy it if you decide to buy it!

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

Dave the diver is a blast. The premise is simple and fun but it's constantly evolving and building on what's there with a charming cast of characters and events. Id highly recommend it.

Got a bunch of Pinball FX tables.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

Black Mesa, The Master Chief collection, Ori bundle and Sonic Superstars. 70€ ;_; (because that fucking new Sonic game is too expensive, even on 30% sale)

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

I highly recommend Death Must Die. It is early access, as a fair warning. But it successfully mixes up Hades with Vampire Survivors and a few others. Runs great on Deck as well. The dialog can be cringe and the story is clearly under development. But if you want a fun gameplay loop--this is the game.

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

Monster Hunter Rise + DLC for me and qt gf. 60% off and runs like a dream! 60 fps with default settings.

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

Is the coop system in monster hunter rise like it is in monster hunter world? Bc me and my so both enjoyed the game but the coop for world was so strange. Almost not even coop

[–] MrDiamondJ 1 points 1 year ago

If you mean that joining a game is actually intuitive and not a bunch of Online Session mumbo jumbo, yes.

[–] p5f20w18k 4 points 1 year ago

I got RDR2 to play on my deck, already played it a few years ago on PS5 but I’ve been wanting to play it again.

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

Onirism maybe. It's been on my wishlist for almost 5 years now but never worked on Linux. It does now but I'm also not in highschool anymore so not sure if I'll like it.

[–] ekZepp 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Just check all the games on any deal sites before you buy anything there are a lot of better price most of the time. Ofk always check if they are steam key code.

Age of empires 2, clandun returns (both on my wishlist forever, I use m+kb for 4x games), sorted by "great on deck" top rated and added "stacklands" out for 15$, on top of songs of conquest for another 15, and my humble bundle subscription for 10... And my GeForce now founders subscription for 5$, and Xbox game pass for 15... Damn I spend too much on games

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

Trying to keep it tame this time as Monster Hunter Rise has me plenty busy. Got Forza Horizon 4 and may come back for an Aeon's End expansion later.

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

So far the only thing I've picked up is Xenotilt, and it's pretty fun. I'm tempted to get Diablo 4 (my friends have been playing it and they tell me the new season is a lot better than the last one), but I hate the always online requirement and how they've implemented it.
