Hey all,

Old time gamer here, haven’t played anything recent in years. Picked up a deck with the sale and looking to pick up a “premium” game. So far I am going back and forth between

  • Cyberpunk 2077
  • FFVII Remake
  • No Man’s Sky

I am not a huge fan of shooters and I know these three have more of an action gameplay style. I have Skyrim which I have played a tad on PC and could see myself playing that on the deck.

What I’d like is something I can pick up and play for an hour or less and put back down for a few days.

Things I’d love in a game

  • some level of replayability / open world content to mess around with
  • good story
  • good ambience / music

And obviously something that plays decent on the deck.

I am leaning on Cyberpunk even with reading and watching mixed-to-negative reviews.

I played Transistor on mobile a while back and enjoyed it. Hades is definitely on my wishlist

Hollow Knight… Metroidvania, Castlevania SotN was my absolute favorite forever. Thanks for tipping me off on the one. I do own Bloodstained and am making some progress on that one. This looks equally great!

Ori and the Will of the Wisp is a good metroidvania, with nice ambiance/music, but the story is a bit generic. It plays well on the Steam Deck, as I guess most metroidvanias do.

Yeah I think the high quality indie game side of things is where the Steam Deck really shines. I've got so used to high FPS on my gaming PC that dropping to 60Hz on the big triple A games kinda sucks.

Plus playing these indie games gives a massive longevity boost in the battery department if you set your deck right

Bloodstained Ritual of the Night is a spiritual successor of SotN. It's also on a huge sale now.
