Hades on Steam Deck is a blast (communick.news)

I had fun playing it on PC, but the game is just that much more fun and immersive on the Deck. I'd say it's the first game where I've noticed a big difference since I got my Deck last week.

On the other hand, I found Slay the Spire to be better on PC. The controls and smaller screen seem to get in the way a little bit more.

Any other suggestions for games that really shine on the Deck vs PC?

Any Metroidvania is great. Almost any 2d game is great. Newer intensive 3d games are nice but the battery goes quick.

The only issues I've had with the hardware is the pointer finger placements for the triggers are hard to use both on the same side if you use a game that makes use of both a lot.

I do wish I waited a year for summer sale though. The 20% discount on the antiglare screen would've been cheaper than the mid tier I bought. I game way more outside now though with my toddler son when he plays in the yard. The mirror reflection is killer sometimes.

I bought a screen protector for mine and it’s brilliant.

I've heard the non glare screen isn't as bright as the other versions, also, a matte screen protector has the same effect.
