There are some story-rich RPG shooters that are almost pre-2010 I could recommend, like maybe Dishonored or Fallout 3/New Vegas. But pre-2010 is tough, only ones I can think of are the System Shock or maybe Thief games.
How detailed is .world's IP logging? I'm sure many privacy-minded users think that's important to know before disabling their VPNs.
Additionally, would it be possible to allow posts/comments that don't have any links or images? Or does even that introduce too much risk?
I got NV modded up through the Viva New Vegas guide, so hopefully that fixes the crashes for me. Figuring out how to mod it on linux was surprisingly easy too, thanks to the MO2 linux installer on github.
There's no way I'm finishing them all in 1yr, but these are currently on the list (PC/Steam Deck):
- Totally Accurate Battle Simulator
- Subnautica
- American Truck Simulator
- Fallout: New Vegas
- Stardew Valley
- The Witcher 3
- Slay the Spire
- Terraria
If you're looking for an indie alternative, Roboquest seems like a good recent shooter for two players. It's on both Steam and GOG. Gunfire Reborn also seems fun.
These aren't indies, but there's also Deep Rock Galactic, L4D2, and of course the original Helldivers.
If you can stand some uncomfortable scenes and general "Kubrick-weirdness," and want an excellent social commentary on dehumanization and corruption, then yes. Although I have heard a lot of people prefer the book if you'd rather read it.
I've been able to stream my non-steam games from my linux desktop to my steam link, at least the ones in Heroic Games Launcher. Although, for that to work I had to use Heroic's "add game to steam" and "minimize heroic on game launch" options. Without the minimize option, the game thought I was using a mouse and keyboard instead of controller.
You could probably play the SCS Truck Simulator games basically indefinitely.
Vampire Survivors is an absurdly addicting Deck game, and can be considered grindy if you go for the eggs late-game.
Deep Rock Galactic is a good one too, if you're okay with no aim assist and playing solo or with randoms.
Valve probably intentionally disabled it, just to be cautious. I think all of the other beta branches are that way too.
I don't think it's possible to filter the trending games that way, but you can filter the all-time highest rated games that way by using the "Platforms" filter in instant search: https://steamdb.info/instantsearch/?refinementList%5Boslist%5D%5B0%5D=Steam%20Deck%20Verified&refinementList%5Boslist%5D%5B1%5D=Steam%20Deck%20Playable
It also has an option to filter the search by year(s) and by number of ratings/followers, so you could select the current and/or previous year to see what has been ~~trending~~ well-received and popular in the (relatively) short-term.
