Sorry, bit late on this one. Life’s been hectic.
Ocarina of Time. I didn’t grow up with the older games but I’m having fun so far. I’ll play the other titles afterward
Tape to Tape. It’s a roguelite hockey game that has a big sense of humor.
Persona5Strikers. Got it last month with humblebundle’s choice, and it’s pretty good. My first ever persona game…
Did you have to use GE-proton to get it to run? I think that used to be a requirement, but I’m curious if it runs without it now.
I dont think so? Just downloaded and pressed play. Maybe it did use glorious eggroll’s version but idk. will check.
Witcher 3, Just finished the main story. And boy, CDPR really nailed the story/ character writing in this game. Looking to grab “Hearts of stone” & “Blood and Wind” DLC next GOG sale.
What an amazing 50hr time sink!
Yakuza Like a Dragon. Super fun and super silly, runs perfectly on Deck @40FPS but boy is it a battery hog.
Hardspace: Shipbreaker. After a rough day of work, there’s something incredibly soothing about dismantling a spaceship over a couple of hours.
Me too! I’m playing it on the easiest mode so I can just not stress and enjoy the hygge of breaking down spaceships
Same here. No oxygen depletion, and go about tearing that thing apart slowly. One thing I haven’t managed is to grab the bunny. I mean, I do grab it, but can’t get it to appear in my quarters, it just sticks to my hand until I let go.
Oh, I think you have to grab it with x, like you do with parts and data
That lets you know all you need about how relaxed I play. I had no idea X could “pull” as much as push. Thanks so much, I’ll do that again today.
I picked up Persona 5 Royale during the sale for 30 bucks.
I was a huge fan of P4G on the PSVita.
P5R is so stylish and it does such a great job of speeding up so much of tedium by allowing fast travel to most places.
Everything feels so snappy, the soundtrack is killer, the gameplay is fun. Runs like a dream on the OLEDeck. I’ve been enjoying taking it slow and getting to know the characters. Just finished the first palace.
Visions of Mana. I’m almost at the end and I have been putting off beating it because then I will be sad.
Tried it on the Deck in TV mode, but the frame rates dropped so much during boss fights / class strikes I went back to finishing it on PC. I guess on the small screen I could have dropped the settings further, but on TV that was really hard on the eyes. Which is sad, as I mainly got the deck as a “switch but for pc games”. Guess it’ll mostly only work for pixel art games etc. for me.
Frontier Pilot Simulator even though it doesn’t work offline for some reason.
I bought Vampire Survivors since it was slightly discounted and have only heard rave reviews about it… I sank 7 hours in my first day lol!!
Picked up all the DLCs too. Imo worth the money to support the developer
I have it on my tablet (Android), and I love it. It is so simple, but satisfying.
Haven’t been playing much on it since I haven’t felt like playing because college, but the last few times I have, I was busy dragging myself to play Fallout New Vegas to some day finally complete a run for the first time in any fallout game. Otherwise, I don’t think I’ve played any other games.
Mostly CrossCode. A fun little sci-fi action puzzler that pays homage to the SNES era of games. It’s similar to Spirit of Mana. Low power requirements, and it has a Linux-native version that works better than the Windows version (you need updated engine files if you play from itch.io).
I’m also playing a little bit of No Man’s Sky, but just here and there; I’m mostly playing that on my desktop.
Do you play No Mans Sky alone or with friends? I picked it up for my deck but havent tried it out yet… Unfortunately one of the reasons why I have a deck is my PC can’t handle some games
Alone. I don’t currently have friends that play it, but I still have a good time. Works great on Deck, and you can even make use of HDR settings, if you have an OLED version.
Honestly mostly been learning blender, I am sure sure nobody ever intended blender to be used on a handheld gaming system but that is the beauty of the steam deck right?
Also been playing some everdell.
Coincidentally I had just downloaded Apex to start playing with a friend :(
I purchased a new monitor and video card right before rockstar pull their stunt with gta v. They arrived the day after I was locked out of gta online. So I feel your pain.
Honestly mostly been learning blender, I am sure sure nobody ever intended blender to be used on a handheld gaming system
I’m interested in the “how”
Just install blender from the discover app on the steam desktop, add it to steam as a non-steam game and you can launch it as you would any other game.
As for controls I prefer joysticks + gyro, but that is just me.
Sea of Stars. 🌊✨
It’s a really well done, turn based style rpg.
Been enjoying it a lot.
I’m itching for the co-op update to do a second play through with my gf.
It’s a good time for SNES spiritual successors!
I just started Chained Echoes, another snes-style rpg
still cyberpunk. just started the phantom liberty stuff. man is that ever not stealth decker friendly.
Is it the Phantom Liberty part specifically that isn’t deck friendly? I replayed some of base cyberpunk on my OLED recently, and was really impressed by how well it runs now. I seem to remember performance being a lot worse when I tried it back on my original LCD deck.
The new content just has a bunch of parts where you are mobbed so if your playstyle is ninja decker and not the best up close and personal it can be tough. Its definately a bit different with a ton of parkour initially and many hidden item caches. I actually just got through the initial mission and now everything has opened up.
