Right now, I’m playing the early access version of Baldurs Gate 3. I’m getting ready to put it down (frustrated: BG3 has the potential to be good, but without controller support, I’m getting really frustrated with the UI. ) and switch to Yakuza Like a Dragon.

What are you playing now and what are you looking forward to playing next?

Love my Deck. Haven't been playing as much since I've been playing a lot of TOTK on Switch, but currently I'm finishing up P4G

I've been emulating Mario Party Superstars and Mario Kart 8. Yuzu's multiplayer is amazing!

As I don't own a playstation I am playing the horizon zero dawn game, it is quite good. I will probably then play the final fantasy remake.

I'm playing Doki Doki Literature Club mainly to see why there are all the disclaimers about disturbing content.

Currently playing Jedi: Fallen Order and Stardew Valley. Good to have som casual gaming for casual times and some narrative AAA for when i have a bit more time on my hands :)

Nothing at the moment on the Steam Deck, still working my way through Tears of the Kingdom on Switch.

Before TOTK I was going back and forth between the recent Sackboy: A Big Adventure port and Pedestrian. Before that I played through the Spider-Man and Miles Morales ports as well.

Not to mention all the various emulation I've setup and been experimenting with, I can't even remember all the games I was testing out there, dozens of them!

LEGO Builder's Journey has been really fun, its a great game to play at night to wind down even though it's pretty short

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

Got my steam deck about August last year, I've been using it almost exclusively for gaming this year. At the beginning of the year I used my gaming PC to play some Battlefield 2042 but other than that its been Steam Deck only.

Blasphemous im working on beating right now before the 2nd one comes out. Also playing a bit of Ride 4 before 5 comes out. Once i am ready to loop back to other games on my list to beat I'll also be playing Nier Automata. Another I've found of interest recently just due to its simple gameplay and coop capability is Death Road to Canada.

Making my way through Yakuza 0. For whatever reason I stopped playing it on the PC a couple years ago and I'm starting over from the beginning now on the Deck. Also working through Shadow of War now and then ever since I got it for like $5 a couple weeks back.

Here! Playing A Short Hike and loving it.

Very happy to be on the deck after so much switch time - feels like there are tons of steam games i’ve been ‘saving’ for years.

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

Great suggestion! I’m definitely adding A Short Hike to my list

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

Been on BOTW now for the last week. Been having a lot of fun, though I'm kind of rushing through so I can start with TOTK.

Over the year I've finished Outer Wilds, Hades, PikuNiku, the second Ori game, and have been slowly getting through Elden Ring. Next is probably Tunic, but idk if it's worth my time after playing through the first 2 hours.

Nowadays I can't use any other controller than the deck, so I sometimes link it with the pc just for that - I just can't live without the gyro and the back buttons

I am absolutely ravishing skyrim with mods on my steam deck right now. I'm playing a destruction mage, and half the time when im attacking I say "and so I started blastin" to myself. I play Vampire Survivors often, dead cells, subnautica, No Mans Sky, etc. Might give elden ring another try since I've been enjoying more difficulty in games.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago (4 children)

Vampire Survivors, Halls of Torment, Time Wasters, Diablo 4, Cult of the Lamb. I prefer 2D games, the controls are a lot easier - I'm not used to controllers :) I also have to finish Octopath Traveller so I can play the sequel.

I use my deck daily. Anything that is super intensive I actually just stream from my PC upstairs to my deck / or TV downstairs using the deck. For native games I am currently playing Diablo IV, Eastward, and about to start XCOM 2 after finishing the first game entirely on deck earlier this year.

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

Raises hand playing God of War 2018. Think I’m going to play Bulletstorm next. Not enough time to play all the games I’d like to.

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

I'm having a great time playing The Saboteur on my Deck. It's not on Steam but if you buy it on GOG you can run it through Heroic Game Launcher's Steam integration. You can also run the EA App (yuck) version on Deck but it takes a little more doing, or emulate the PS3 version.

A criminally underrated open world game from 2009 where you play as an ornery Irish man fighting Nazis in occupied Paris. It's well written and acted and nails the aesthetic of the time and place. Plus it's just fun blowing shit up.

Also my friend got me Potion Craft which is cozy.

Been mainly using it to get through the Trails series before Trails from Reverie releases in July - currently on Trails of Cold Steel 4, but it's a hard one to get through.

Other than that, been emulating Phantasy Star Portable 2 Infinity and playing with friends.

I've been playing a lot of Othercide lately. Even though it says unsupported it actually runs really well! You just need to use the proton hotfix not default. I also played through Symphony of War recently and it's terrific. Anyone looking for something that you can dump 40+ hours into a single playthrough while also being EXTREMELY battery friendly, check it out!

I’ve been playing Freeways and Graveyard Keeper on my steam deck, and I’m glad the controls feels tight.

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

I don't use my steam deck all that much, just when traveling. The last thing I played on it was Warhammer 40k Mechanicus, and that plays wonderfully on it. Definitely recommended.

I'm not so active with mine at the moment since I have a desktop computer, but back when I was recovering from a knee injury away from home, it was not just most of my gaming, but also my personal computer for most tasks, via a USB-C hub hooking it up to the keyboard and monitors I was using for work. I ended up completing a personal image editing project using GIMP installed in its desktop mode.
