Searching for a grindy game for on the Steam deck (lemmy.world)

Hey everyone!

So I recently bought the Steam deck, and love every second of it. It allows me to play games that I normally never play on PC. Like some indies.

But I have a question. I want a game where I can just braindead level. Bit like Runescape back in the day. Is there some game like that for the Deck?

Serious question: I have hundreds of hours in GD, but never installed it on my deck because I never imagined playing it with a controller. Does it work well?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago

It works surprisingly well! I beat the game with my second character on the Deck exclusively.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

The only issue I have with GD and a controller is difficulty targeting specific foes and precuse use of movement abilities. Nothing gamebreaking, just annoying.

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

It works great, but needs a bit of tweaking. Targeting distant foes and picking up specific loot from a pile of items can be tricky sometimes, but nothing remotely game breaking.

I personally changed the touch pad tu function as a mouse for inventory management.

For comparison, I have a few hundred hours in Diablo 3 (PS4 version) which have a great controller scheme and for me it's the best controller experience of an arpg on the market so far. GD its not far behind, but you might need to personalize it.

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

I have bought GD specifically because someone said it was better on controller than PoE and I kinda wanted to play on the couch when I was sick a while ago.

At least for a couple of hours as a necromancer it worked pretty well.

For now I went back to PoE with K&M, but I don't rule out, that I might give GD another shot.
And if I do, I will try again with the controller.

Or Path Of Exile. Virtually interchangable.

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

Do you enjoy PoE with a controller?

I didn't like it when I triedit once, but I might give it another chance.

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

I have a few thousand hours in PoE, the last few hundred have been on the Steam Deck.

Honestly, it's pretty great. Some builds might not work as well though.

Trading is pretty rough though, which is a pretty important part of endgame PoE.

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

Thanks.

When I finally get my deck I will give it a try.
Trading is for wfh days then.

Best ARPG.
