Mine has to be Dragon Quest: Rocket Slime, a DS spin off of the Dragon Quest series that sees you playing as a slime operating a tank and rescuing the people from your town. You run around the overworld, collecting items to use as ammunition and saving money to upgrade your tank. The art and music are just as great as you'd expect from the Dragon Quest series. It made fantastic use of the DS's dual screens. It's also written for a younger audience, so a lot of it is just really silly and fun! Try it out for sure, I'm so sad there's no sequel :(

Planetside 2. Been playing for a decade. One of the best games and only one in its genre of MMOFPS. I don’t know what I will play when it dies. It’s the one and only thing I play and enjoy now. Nothing else is fun.

Starport GE. Amazing little game. Played tons of it. It’s been almost 18 years of it. Played hardcore for atleast a decade before life got in the way and winded down now. My brother manages the account and activity now. Still alive but barely. It’s a game of strategy and alliances and carefully managing a galaxy to control it all. Make friends make enemies. There’s been dozens of people that have come and gone over the years through it. Due to its small player size. We all knew each other very well and were acquainted. You don’t like someone you decide to go to war with them start taking all their colonies. The game has no alliance mechanism or war mechanism. It’s all on you to decide what to make of it.

I know everyone here got many favorite and probably wonderful games but who here has played only 2 games with more than a decade of dedication to each?

Planetside is one I've always been interested in for the longest time, but I've always been on Xbox. Does it run on Steam Deck? I'd love to finally try it out.

I haven't played Planetside 2 in forever so I could be wrong, but I was playing that game on my shit box I made in 2011. Planetside 2 would probably run great on steam deck, but because it's an FPS MMO (a mature MMO at that, lots of ) I think you're gonna get your ass blasted by the whales if you're not using a mouse for aim. That's pretty much the only heads up I have on the game though.

Noted - I'll give it a shot in my docked setup!

There are reports of people getting it working that I heard. But I don’t think it is going to be a pleasant experience. Planetside 2 requires plenty of cpu horsepower.
