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?

I’m currently hooked on Diablo IV. It runs perfectly on the Deck, and has ended up being the place I play it the most now.

I was playing GTAV, Deus Ex: Human Revolution and Final Fantasy Tactics PSP but the new Zelda dropped and I've put in like 70hrs already.

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 had been playing hollow knight, but then I got yuzu and Zelda: tears of the kingdom. It's been awesome.

I've been using my steam deck mostly for older stuff that I bought and never got around to playing, like Hades and Dragons Dogma Dark Arisen.

Just started Monster Hunter Rise. Played it on switch, wanted to get through sunbreak on the deck.

Diablo 4. Runs pretty well on medium settings for a new title.

I've been playing Dicey Dungeons, Streets of Rogue and Enter The Gungeon. DD plays perfectly; SoR is mostly fine I find the visuals slightly too small for the deck's 8" screen and EtG by default doesn't use the entire screen. I played Cassette Beasts for a while (no issues but there was stutter in the mall) but I got bored of it.

I want to try playing some classic DOS games through DosBox but I haven't gotten around to that yet.

I just finished Yakuza like a dragon on my deck. Some of the most fun I've had with a game in a long time.

I recommend checking out emudeck if you haven't. I've been using its emulators to replay a lot of old Pokemon games as well as some pokemon rom hacks. You can even run pokemon infinite fusions if you add it to steam from desktop and enable compatibility mode.

Other recommendations: Carrion - You are a mass of flesh and must consume.

Hollow Knight - One of my favorite games and my favorite metroidvania.

Lunacid - First person souls like game that hits a nostalgic spot.

A Hat in Time - Plays like a 3d Mario game.

Pizza Tower - Sonic meets a Wario game. Everything looks like it's drawn in MS Paint.

Looking to get a steam deck as my next big purchase. Seems like the perfect gaming device for me

I'm trying to finish Yakuza 0. But christ this game is long. If the rest of the series is this bad I might have to pass on it. Great game but just...too much of everything.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

It is a stop and smell the roses type of game. It has some of the best sidequests in gaming. they are quite long though. I hope the other games are as good as 0 and Like a Dragon.

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.

Lots of emulated games, mostly. Retrodeck is kinda jank but when you figure it out it's such a convenient way of using most emulators you'll need.

I'm mostly distracted away from my Steam Deck by Tears of the Kingdom right now. One thing I love about the Steam Deck is the controls—I'm an avid Steam Controller user, as well. Because of that, I actually like playing stuff "more suited" to my desktop, thanks to the Steam Deck's superior controls. Elden Ring, for example.

Last game I played on it, yesterday, was Just Cause 3. It's.. not great. The game just doesn't run consistently enough and is too CPU heavy.

I recently played Red Dead Redemption 2 on it, that was great. Surprisingly so. I'm playing Skyrim now. I've had the game for years but never took the time to properly get into it. I beat the main quest and messed with mods back in the day but that's it.

Now, I'm playing it vanilla and I want to just go deep into the game, completely ignoring the main quest, I don't want to be the hero, if the universe needs saving, it can find someone else. Khajiit have caves to explore and stuff. Oh and the new Survival Mode is neat!

Lies of P demo. Been waiting on BG3 release, but might keep that to PC. Thinking of picking up Cassette Beasts.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

I just finished Trails in the Sky SC at just over 90 hours playtime. I didn't even 100% it. I have to admit. I didn't even much enjoy the first half or so. It mostly ended strong, but I was starting to get a little sick of kicking the same bad guys' asses over and over only to have them declare they're not even using their full strength in the post-fight cutscene before they mysteriously disappear to inevitably come back later.

Batman Arkham City, then I moved on to Arkham Knight but I streamed that from my desktop because it's more demanding. Now I'm trying to figure out what to play next. Maybe Jedi Fallen Order.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

I installed BlizzNet on my steamdeck and am playing through Diablo IV. I'm usually a more patient gamer but my friends were playing and coop is fun.

Dave The Diver!

I want to get one, but don't have one yet, unfortunately. A bit out of my price range at the moment.

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

Diablo IV, Assassin's Creed Origins, Caves of Qud, No Man's Sky. Also a bit of roguelites like Isaac, Dead Cells, Vampire Survivors, and Brotato.

I'll probably try Zelda TOTK again soonish, because I wasn't able to get it to run correctly (or sometimes even at all. Reading the comments here, it looks like it improved.
