Dredge. Should be a perfect Deck on the sofa after work kinda game.
It is!
I was a little skeptical given the darker parts of the game. However, it truly wasn't an issue and I adapted to how the game worked. Now I just glide through the water and do my fishing and dredging. Such relaxation.
I am thoroughly whelmed.
Probably buying Cult of the Lamb. Waiting to get my OLED Deck first though, still only at "packaged". :/
My spouse loves that game, super cute art style and creative concept.
Just bought Lil Gator Game, Just finished Lil Gator Game.
Was moved to tears multiple times.
In all seriousness, I recommend it as fuck. And it plays amazing on the deck too.
That game looks a bit like "a short hike" thanks for the tip, bought it
It is! I loved both, you're in for a treat!
I just got Tunic and Unpacking on sale.
You're in for a treat with Tunic.
I found the intro to be really obtuse but dang if pushing through didn't pay off. That game is great.
I just got a 2nd hand Oculus Rift S for cheap, so I'm gonne take a look at the VR offers, as this is my first VR experience.
Half life Alyx is sitting at $20 right now just a friendly heads up
Thanks! I already bought that one. Jeez it's immersive!
Beat Saber & VTOL VR are my recommendations for VR games that can be more then a 30min ExpErIEncE.
You didn’t ask, I know… :-)
It's appreciated anyway! Put beat saber on my wishlist!
I wholeheartedly recommend Synth Riders if you're into rhythm games!
If you're a gun enthusiast or just would like to mess around with some of the most detailed weapons VR has to offer, I strongly recommend trying out H3VR (Hotdogs, Horseshoes and Hand Grenades is the full name I believe). Yes, it has never been on sale since it came out, but it's 100% worth the 20 bucks they're asking for. There's also an awesome multi-player mod for it called H3MP, as well as heaps of other content mods.
Check out VRchat. It's free and frankly what meta is trying to build...but it's already here
Skyrim VR is on sale, you NEEEEEEEEEEEEED to mod it to make it playable (it's a dogshit port). I tried pirating it but the mods required to make it a good VR experience only work with a different version
Got a bunch of Pinball FX tables.
I just got a Steam Deck and will be using it as a console with my wife & kids - in that light I've bought a lot of smaller co-op and local multiplayer games:
- Stick Fight: The Game
- Stikbold! A Dodgeball Adventure
- Moving Out
- Broforce
- Cook, Serve, Delicious
- Portal 2
- Rubber Bandits
- HOT WHEELS UNLEASHED
- Horizon Chase Turbo
- Ultimate Chicken Horse
- Human Fall Flat
- CarX Drift Racing Online
- Nidhogg
- Sonic and All-Stars Racing Transformed Collection
We'll see what else we'll go for, but that should help us get started :)
I recommend giving Plate Up a look!
Toybox turbo is a easy recommend. Short games with a fun mp mode
I highly recommend Death Must Die. It is early access, as a fair warning. But it successfully mixes up Hades with Vampire Survivors and a few others. Runs great on Deck as well. The dialog can be cringe and the story is clearly under development. But if you want a fun gameplay loop--this is the game.
Black Mesa, The Master Chief collection, Ori bundle and Sonic Superstars. 70€ ;_; (because that fucking new Sonic game is too expensive, even on 30% sale)
I am eyeing Dave the Diver and The Forgotten City. I am just waiting to get my OLED Deck and start playing them.
I don't really need any new game as I have a substantial backlog and hopefully with the Deck I will start to clear it.
I am already looking forward to the holidays.
I went into The Forgotten City completely blind and found it to be very compelling and creative experience that I didn't want to stop playing. I hope you enjoy it if you decide to buy it!
Dave the diver is a blast. The premise is simple and fun but it's constantly evolving and building on what's there with a charming cast of characters and events. Id highly recommend it.
Monster Hunter Rise + DLC for me and qt gf. 60% off and runs like a dream! 60 fps with default settings.
Is the coop system in monster hunter rise like it is in monster hunter world? Bc me and my so both enjoyed the game but the coop for world was so strange. Almost not even coop
I got RDR2 to play on my deck, already played it a few years ago on PS5 but I’ve been wanting to play it again.
Onirism maybe. It's been on my wishlist for almost 5 years now but never worked on Linux. It does now but I'm also not in highschool anymore so not sure if I'll like it.
Just check all the games on any deal sites before you buy anything there are a lot of better price most of the time. Ofk always check if they are steam key code.
Age of empires 2, clandun returns (both on my wishlist forever, I use m+kb for 4x games), sorted by "great on deck" top rated and added "stacklands" out for 15$, on top of songs of conquest for another 15, and my humble bundle subscription for 10... And my GeForce now founders subscription for 5$, and Xbox game pass for 15... Damn I spend too much on games
Trying to keep it tame this time as Monster Hunter Rise has me plenty busy. Got Forza Horizon 4 and may come back for an Aeon's End expansion later.
So far the only thing I've picked up is Xenotilt, and it's pretty fun. I'm tempted to get Diablo 4 (my friends have been playing it and they tell me the new season is a lot better than the last one), but I hate the always online requirement and how they've implemented it.
I grabbed Yakuza: Like a Dragon and Sleeping Dogs Definitive Editon, both of these are supposed to be great on the deck! Still stuck in Packaged purgatory though, so it's going to be a while before I actually get the chance to play them. There were some other games I was considering, but I gotta stop spending so much money right after buying a new piece of hardware... One day Sekiro will be at 70+% off, and that is the day I'll buy it.

Only 50% off at the moment.
