I just recently got my Steam Deck and I’ve been playing through GTA IV, as when I bought it my PC ran it like garbage and by the time I got a decent PC, GTA V was the new hot thing. It’s been an amazing experience so far, and after I’m finished with this I’ll probably jump into Red Dead Redemption 2.

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.
Currently playing Traveller’s Rest, it’s a little tavern, stardew-like game. Pretty fun but a little bare on the content at the moment.
Been playing Dinkum lately, great controller support works well on the deck.
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.
Vampire Survivors is such a blast on steam deck!
How does it handle all of the onscreen effects with all the powerups?
Hey! I’m playing Yooka-Laylee, Skyrim and Moonlighter.
I’d really like to get good with FPSs on sticks, but seems to much for me, so I play Deathloop docked.
Gunfire Reborn, Black Book, and Minecraft. Excited to go finish BL3 and Tiny Tina's on it soon
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!
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!
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.
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.
Me! Currently playing graveyard keeper and Subnautica. Though I'm hanging on to the hopes that totk emulation will improve soon so I can play at a stable frame rate
I’ve been playing Freeways and Graveyard Keeper on my steam deck, snd I’m glad the controls feels tight.
Currently perfecting the entire Final Fantasy Pixel Remaster collection, up to 4 now
I’m on four as well. I like these games because I can grind while watching tv and don’t have to pay too much attention. Really sucks you can’t turn off the atb on this one.
I just found out recently that "NBA Jam" (SNES) has a romhack online with updated rosters, so I've been reliving my childhood playing it. Aside from that, I'm a JRPG fan, so I started Terranigma (SNES) for the first time.
Been slowly working my way through Shadow of War, between probably a bit too much Against the Storm, Surviving Mars, Stellaris, and Timberborn.
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.
