I just found an indie autobattler called CROPS! and I am having a blast so far, highly recommended! Interestingly it appears to have duos for PVP so you could play with a friend against other players. Battling is async though like other autobattlers.

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.
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.

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.

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.
It's a good time for SNES spiritual successors!
I just started Chained Echoes, another snes-style rpg
I'm itching for the co-op update to do a second play through with my gf.
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!
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.
NFL 2k5
I’ll never get over playing my old ps2 games on the go.
I've been playing a whole lot of Metaphor ReFantizio, and highly recommend it.
I enjoy the persona games, but I actually do like a fantasy setting more than the modern day setting of persona. I also find some of Persona's mechanics make the game more tedious than it should be (You have to equip a matching persona before spending your time with someone socially, and you have to get the right conversation responses or spend multiple time slots building social points), and Metaphor gets rid of those points of frustration. The road trip aspect is really fun too, overall I'm having a great time with it.
Wilmot Works It Out - much simpler than Wilmot's Warehouse, an extremely enjoyable puzzle game.
Loop Hero . Picked it up for last week for just under $5 and it's been a lot of fun.
It's an Indie rogue-like with a surprising amount going on.
My favorite being is that it mixes a deck builder rogue-like with building a world each run.
The "permanent upgrades" (outside of the game-loop) are pretty interesting as well- building a village/city and managing supplies.
Frontier Pilot Simulator even though it doesn't work offline for some reason.
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.
Ready or Not. Awesome on steam deck
Really? How's the performance?
Very good, I'm getting 50+ fps on medium settings
Windblown plays really well on the SD. Developed by Motion Twin, same folks behind Dead Cells. Rogue-like that plays similar to Hades but has some persistent upgrades like Dead Cells.
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

I'm a weird Deck gamer, in that I often start games and come back once in a while, which I never do on PC, where I try to finish one game at a time
- Death Crown
- Narita Boy
- Citizen Sleeper
- Dave the Diver
- Deep Rock Galactic Survivor
- 60 Parsecs!
- In Other Waters
- Race the Sun -Merchant of the Skies
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.

Dave the Diver. I was playing a pirated copy through October, it was a lot of fun so when it went on sale last week I bought it.
I've been playing The Axis Unseen. Framerate can be a bit rough at times, but some patches fixed the worst of it and made it playable.
Vampire Survivors, Wreckfest, Slay the Princess, Hue.
Just finished the visual novel ISLAND, read on the Deck for the most part.
Next in line would be finally continuing with Pocket Mirror. Afterwards, looking forward to buying Dredge.
@Fubarberry I've been playing Half-Life docked with a steam controller and its been fantastic. The steam controller is so good for fps games.
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.
Yakuza Like a Dragon. Super fun and super silly, runs perfectly on Deck @40FPS but boy is it a battery hog.
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.
