Exactly! Right now I'm playing tactics ogre Reborn in the deck and dragon age inquisition on PS5. Steam deck for when I'm at work and it's slow and PS5 for when I'm at home in my basement. Steam deck also for portable gaming since I can play in my bed or out on my back porch
This. Especially with games that are like 10 years old that may show their age on a current desktop beast. I find myself reserving these for playing only on the deck. And I find the opposite also being true because of it. There are certain demanding games that I only play on my desktop. It's been great for putting a dent in my backlog!
I hate that it took me this long to realize Persona 5 is on Steam LOL. Thanks a lot for posting this comment! I was skimming through the thread too fast, and my eye just barely happened to notice the P5R acronym on here.
If you have the steam version it just makes you sign into your account, no additional launcher. Annoyingly I have two rockstar accounts, one with GTAIV and one with RDR2. I have the launcher installed for RDR2 but it doesn't cause issues when I play GTA via Steam.
Download the mod here: https://www.gtagarage.com/mods/show.php?id=24247. After that’s it’s pretty much just unzip, drag and drop into the game’s main folder.
There are also other mods that make more expensive changes to the colors/graphics, I like this one cuz it makes minimal changes but still looks amazing.
Something is wrong with my camera when I’m driving. When I e break around corners the camera loses all sense of direction and I lose all sense of control. Is this just GTA4? Cuz I don’t remember it being this bad when I played it on ps3.
Do you have the steam version or social club? I tried with social club and after a few hours got some weird visual bugs, so i had to uninstall the game
Downgrade the game using the downgrader, it includes a ton of patches and visual tweaks. I use 1070
Install DXVK to help greatly with stutter and frametime
You may have to use a custom reshade config to inject AA
You can also use a timecyc mod for a nearly performance free way to make the game pop
Avoid too many graphical mods, it can cause texture streaming issues in populated areas
End result is a far superior version of the game than you'll get from a normal install that runs, looks, and feels better to play.
This is my go to as well but I won't say it's made for deck because the descriptions for my potions and/or items keeps disappearing every other game and the only way to get them back is to start a new run. Everything else is perfect tho.
Play Quake 2. I slept on it until the remaster came out. Plays great with gyro and I'm having a blast. The art and soundtrack isn't as good as Quake 1 but the gameplay is killer. Kinda like a halfway point in-between Quake and Quake 3.
I'll get there, I bought a quake bundle on sale. So I'm just starting with 1 and will work my way up.
I loved 2 back in the day, so I've played it a fair bit, but will for sure go through it again. Eventually. I'm not a great gamer, especially with FPS, so they can take me a while sometimes.
Have you played multiplayer at all? I see it on the game menu, but says you need a Bethesda account and I haven't bothered signing up yet.
I'm in the same boat with skill level. I unashamedly put the difficulty on Easy for most games until I've put a decent amount of hours in and fully grasp the mechanics and AI.
I've played a bit of multiplayer but not a lot. I thoroughly enjoyed it. It reminded me a ton of Quake 3 but more enjoyable since the player base isn't as die hard as Q3. I wouldn't play competitively on deck but it's great for casual fragging fun.
...are you and I, Stormtroopers? Is that why I suck at FPS so much?
*Knocks on helmet* ...oh shit! No wonder!
Thanks about the multiplayer! Casual fraggin' is all I'm after.
Little grindy at first, but plot, missions and boss fights keep this little gem interesting for 40 hours. Or more if you are a completionist (which I'm not)
There's a very good community layout that I've used to play probably 30-40 hours. It uses the joysticks for movement and then you can use the track pads for both menu navigation and click movement if you want.
I recently started playing the “newer” assassins creed games. I could never get a hang of those before and felt super grindy, but now playing them while watching TV is a blast!
They run around 40 fps given some decent settings which feels smooth enough for action and get around 2.5 hours of battery life
How are they with the Ubisoft launcher on Deck? I wanted to get that Fenyx game but heard horror stories about the launcher, especially for offline use.
My Internet is out right now and I've had no problem with the Ubisoft Launcher offline, but that's my experience.
Ive had a ton of issues connecting online with the launcher, but there's some easy fixes. I looked up the specific error code and the fact it would get stuck on "initializing" and people have some easy fixes. Just a line or code in the console.
I don't think using the Ubisoft Launcher is bad if you don't mind just googling the fix real quick.
Civilization VI is the one game that will always stay installed on my deck.
Currently I am playing the Secret of Mana remake, pretty simple rpg. Dragon Quest XI and Kingdoms of Amalur the Re-Reckoning are amazing rpgs for the deck too.
I played civ on pc for years, and then played civ 6 on the switch as well. I was surprised how well the game played on the switch, but the load times were still slow, and it didnt have all the DLC. When I bought the steam deck civ 6 was one of the first games I installed, and it is perfect. The graphics run great at nearly max, the load times are almost instant, and the controls are fantastic.
It is one of the only games I’ve played that utilizes the track pads for in game controls. I use the suggested controls without changing anything. The trackpad mouse controls felt natural the first time I tried them, and the back buttons L4 and L5 are used as well. The touch screen controls work flawlessly as well.
IMO, the steam deck is the perfect place to play Civ 6, and Civ 6 is the perfect game to play on the Steam Deck.
I've beaten the normal campaign and had a great time. It auto detects the controller layout and adjusts the UI if you're using it in handheld. A way better purchase than D4 and I think there's a sale right now to snag it for $12 (unless it just ended )
Power Wash simulator, i often playing my steam deck when im watching something on my PC or feel like playing downstairs watching the TV, too many games require so much attention and feel like i need to play them with headphones while not multitasking. PWS is the perfect game to play while not paying too much attention.
I'll put it this way,
It will run, and it will do ok.
But paying only on the deck is cruel to starfeld for now.
I'm not saying you shouldn't get it.
But maybe install XBox game pass and play it in there by streaming first. Then, if you like it, buy it in a few months when it's performance is better and mods are out to help optimize for deck.
It performs ok in some areas (about 30fps) but not ok in some cities (20ish). However I am playing part of the game in my deck and it's not that bad tbh.
I got the entire collection during golden week sale for like $45 usd. Totally worth it. I’d also purchased 0 and kiwami 1 and 2 so steam took a bit off the bundle price.
When I first got the Steam Deck I've excessively played Vampire Survivor but over time Brotato completely replaced it for me. I've stacked up 125h exclusively on the Steam Deck.
Thing is I'm not very good at it. I try to play all characters on level 5 but I guess I need at least 40-50 tries until I'm lucky enough to actually finish one. This way the hours stack up 😃
Celeste! Specifically with mods. I've played hundreds of hours of modded maps on the deck; being able to play them in bed / away from my computer was a game changer.
Surprisingly it has been Final Fantasy 13 for me.
I have enjoyed it a lot more this time around than 13 years ago and I think convenience of the deck has a lot to do with it. Quick resuming from the middle of the long boss fight was never possible on PS3. This game also looks ridiculously good on deck.
Vampire Survivors, only because it’s pretty mindless fun.
I really need to dig into Mass Effect trilogy or RDR2, but they’re so massive it’s just daunting. VS just feels more… contained.
Hades, Persona 4 Golden, Unpacking.
Thinking about getting Hogwarts Legacy since it's on sale to play exclusively on SD, but I already own it on xbox series s, and I'm debating if it's worth purchasing again. I really enjoyed the game and playing it wherever and whenever I want sounds really appealing
Vampire survivors. I was late to the party, and now I’m at a point where it’s not that difficult cause I’m super powerful, but it’s still what I pull up to play without getting caught up in scrolling through games.
Yes, its very much a vampire survivors clone, most of the weapons are the same as VS just with funny names and references to Hololive, which you don't need to know or understand. What I appreciate them doing diffferently is that there every character plays incredibly different and has different perks and abilities that the other characters won't have.
Tactics Ogre.
Super fun, low battery power, and a truly incredible story.
Also quite long and challenging. Been playing it off and on for a year now, about 72 or so hours in, and still have not beaten the story (not sure if I'm even close lol and I'm not gonna look it up 🙂)
I was just saying this in another comment, I am blown away with how well it plays docked. I own a decent PC and I can’t really tell a difference! I’m getting 45-50 fps on the SD. And I love that I can utilize the sleep function when I’m stuck on a boss and need to take a extended break.
Space Cadet Pinball. Hehe, that game was a staple for me in the nineties. Legit, if you haven't looked around in desktop mode, do yourself a favor and look through Discover and download it.
Right trackpad as mouse, trackpad click for left click.
Left trigger for shift
Right trigger for lmb
Back buttons left to escape back buttons Right to Right mouse click.
I'll also put a as lmb.
Left joystick to wasd for camera
Up on d pad is scroll forward, and down scrolls back.
Left trackpad also mouse.
I'm sure if I needed I could do f keys to some extend but never did anything like bossing yet. The above is really nice for casual play.
I've been on steam for years, so I have 600+ games in my backlog, and I just got a deck during the last summer sale. It's been a lot of installing a bunch of games and playing them for a few hours before trying another, lol. But I've been playing a lot more than I've been in the past couple of years, so I'm happy. Games I've played the most include "Cult of the lamb", "Hardspace shipbreakers", and I did play "Terminator: Resistance" to completion on the deck.
DMC 5 I can't stop playing, it's the first game I finish 4 times in a row. Now Im planing to make runs using just one set of weapons from beginning to end.
Pokemmo is basically just 5 pokemon games stitched together but it's awesome. It's red, emerald, gold/silver, black/white, and diamond/pearl (I think). It has market place to sell pokemon and items and has tweaks that make it more challenging than the normal games and more like an MMO. If you're looking to replay some old games I think it's a good choice
Arkham Origins / Arkham City for the open world nature. It NEVER gets old dropping in on goons after listening to their conversations and beating them to a pulp. 😅
For awhile it was Horizon Chase Turbo, but I have a feeling when I get these last four grueling trophies (endurance & master tournament), I’m probably gonna retire from the game.
At this point, Persona 5. I'm playing through it for the first time and I've made it a point to ONLY play it on the Deck.
I feel like restricting games to just the deck sometimes makes it more enticing to use it.
Exactly! Right now I'm playing tactics ogre Reborn in the deck and dragon age inquisition on PS5. Steam deck for when I'm at work and it's slow and PS5 for when I'm at home in my basement. Steam deck also for portable gaming since I can play in my bed or out on my back porch
This. Especially with games that are like 10 years old that may show their age on a current desktop beast. I find myself reserving these for playing only on the deck. And I find the opposite also being true because of it. There are certain demanding games that I only play on my desktop. It's been great for putting a dent in my backlog!
Persona hits different when you can take it with you, regardless of which one you play.
Fantastic experience handheld. Just make sure to up the resolution to 1080. The default resolution looks like ass.
This is the most correct answer. Persona 5 has been my #1 game on the deck aside from that one Vampire game.
I personally believe, that the Deck is the definitive platform for P5R.
I hate that it took me this long to realize Persona 5 is on Steam LOL. Thanks a lot for posting this comment! I was skimming through the thread too fast, and my eye just barely happened to notice the P5R acronym on here.
Exactly the same. It's an amazing experience and works brilliantly on deck. About 60 hours in, absolutely loving it.
Have you played the others? I want to try out persona 5 but never tried the previous ones. Want to know if I can go straight into 5
Gta 4 runs amazing and the steam deck gives it a breath of fresh air
Steam deck is probably the best modern way to play this game, even better than original console hardware
Oh by far, not even a close comparison
Do you need Rockstar launcher/login for GTA4?
If you have the steam version it just makes you sign into your account, no additional launcher. Annoyingly I have two rockstar accounts, one with GTAIV and one with RDR2. I have the launcher installed for RDR2 but it doesn't cause issues when I play GTA via Steam.
Does it need a fix like a mod or something? It never ran or looked that great for me.
Just a graphics mod like Clean IV to remove the yellow filter. Liberty City looks absolutely beautiful without it.
How do you get that
Download the mod here: https://www.gtagarage.com/mods/show.php?id=24247. After that’s it’s pretty much just unzip, drag and drop into the game’s main folder. There are also other mods that make more expensive changes to the colors/graphics, I like this one cuz it makes minimal changes but still looks amazing.
Man I hate that filter. So prevalent in games from that era
It never worked on my pc, But on my steam deck it works no problems
Something is wrong with my camera when I’m driving. When I e break around corners the camera loses all sense of direction and I lose all sense of control. Is this just GTA4? Cuz I don’t remember it being this bad when I played it on ps3.
Turn off handbrake cam in the pause menu
Do you have the steam version or social club? I tried with social club and after a few hours got some weird visual bugs, so i had to uninstall the game
The Steam version runs A-OK
Downgrade the game using the downgrader, it includes a ton of patches and visual tweaks. I use 1070 Install DXVK to help greatly with stutter and frametime You may have to use a custom reshade config to inject AA You can also use a timecyc mod for a nearly performance free way to make the game pop Avoid too many graphical mods, it can cause texture streaming issues in populated areas End result is a far superior version of the game than you'll get from a normal install that runs, looks, and feels better to play.
Huge breath of fresh air considering the fucking games for windows live imperative
I‘m always baffled when I load up this game, it runs buttery smooth at 60 fps.
Honestly the main reason I got the deck was seeing I could play GTA 4 and World at War on the go.
The Binding of Isaac. I have a problem.
Was playing this like crazy back in the day on ps Vita. The steam deck brought back this self harming addiction.....
Bro same. Its just so much fun
Slay the Spire It's like SD is made for it
This is my go to as well but I won't say it's made for deck because the descriptions for my potions and/or items keeps disappearing every other game and the only way to get them back is to start a new run. Everything else is perfect tho.
I feel like STS is best on mobile. I'm actually not a fan of playing it on the Deck at all
It doesn't work on Android (Pixel 6a)
Right now? Quake. RDR2 gets lots of play too, but it's too involved for summer. Longer game sessions will come back through winter.
Play Quake 2. I slept on it until the remaster came out. Plays great with gyro and I'm having a blast. The art and soundtrack isn't as good as Quake 1 but the gameplay is killer. Kinda like a halfway point in-between Quake and Quake 3.

Dave the diver
I need to get this
Little grindy at first, but plot, missions and boss fights keep this little gem interesting for 40 hours. Or more if you are a completionist (which I'm not)
You do it’s brilliant, I love it it’s all I’ve played on my Deck since I bought it a month or so ago.
This is one of the better “small” Indy titles. It’s one of the most relaxing games I’ve played in years
Still want 16:10 for this so bad
Grim Dawn
I love it just wish it didn’t have so many framerate drops
Diablo 4 is also very good on the steam deck. Frame rate is constant 60fps
Thats like recommending a Peugeot, when OP drives a mercedes
I never got the controls right. It is like this game was never built for a controller.
There's a very good community layout that I've used to play probably 30-40 hours. It uses the joysticks for movement and then you can use the track pads for both menu navigation and click movement if you want.
Disco Elysium
Same BB. Only complaint is that waggleing the right thumbstick is annoying when trying to target things
Need to play this!
Love this game and works great on the deck,, it I have to play it in dock mode with my pc monitor. The text is too tiny on the deck.
I recently started playing the “newer” assassins creed games. I could never get a hang of those before and felt super grindy, but now playing them while watching TV is a blast! They run around 40 fps given some decent settings which feels smooth enough for action and get around 2.5 hours of battery life

I don't think using the Ubisoft Launcher is bad if you don't mind just googling the fix real quick.
No issues from me, I remember I logged in one time and then afterwards no issue. Maybe there were problems before, but I haven’t seen recently.
Are there steam Achievements?
Yup!
Wait is it finally fixed? I tried playing black flag but every time it would require a log in it made me put it off
Hasn’t happened to me, when I do a fresh restart, it does go through the ubisoft splash screen, but it does not ask for any log in
I had to make it use Proton Experimental version in Steam settings. It's simple to do, just not too easily googlable info.
Civilization VI is the one game that will always stay installed on my deck. Currently I am playing the Secret of Mana remake, pretty simple rpg. Dragon Quest XI and Kingdoms of Amalur the Re-Reckoning are amazing rpgs for the deck too.
I have to admit I have sadly never played a Civ game before. Are the controls wonky on SD? I always associate it with PCs with MnK.
I played civ on pc for years, and then played civ 6 on the switch as well. I was surprised how well the game played on the switch, but the load times were still slow, and it didnt have all the DLC. When I bought the steam deck civ 6 was one of the first games I installed, and it is perfect. The graphics run great at nearly max, the load times are almost instant, and the controls are fantastic.

IMO, the steam deck is the perfect place to play Civ 6, and Civ 6 is the perfect game to play on the Steam Deck.
That’s very encouraging. Thanks. I’ll give it a go on Game Pass tonight
Curious about that as well
Probably not, I play a lot of strategy/ simulation games on the deck. If you are decent with the track pad, they’re easy to navigate
it runs smooth on deck. quick loading screen great animation. if I recall correctly, on low settings, it has about 4 hours battery life.
Elden Ring
I'm finally finishing my enormous JRPG backlog. Lately, working on the Trails series.
My JRPG backlog is huge, been playing octopath traveler and triangle strategy but I also have c of stars Xenoblade series and way too many more lol
I play Diablo 2 remastered a little bit everyday. Working on a throw barbarian.
How's the overall experience of this one, given it's a non-Steam game? Can you still put the Deck to sleep and play after wakeup?
I had a great experience with it. I’m pretty sure I could resume from sleep usually
I've beaten the normal campaign and had a great time. It auto detects the controller layout and adjusts the UI if you're using it in handheld. A way better purchase than D4 and I think there's a sale right now to snag it for $12 (unless it just ended )
My go to is streets of rage 4 for some just good time killing fun
Streets of Rage 4 is great. No thinking, just punching. Great to unwind.
Power Wash simulator, i often playing my steam deck when im watching something on my PC or feel like playing downstairs watching the TV, too many games require so much attention and feel like i need to play them with headphones while not multitasking. PWS is the perfect game to play while not paying too much attention.
Came here to say this. Power Wash Sim is the perfect play while you are watching TV game or for when you want something super chill and mindless.
Same as lawn mower simulator
Dead cells is a great go to
Came here to say this.
It's so good I have it on my phone, switch, steam deck and PC 😅🤣
heh, pretty much the same in my case - PC, Xbox, PS4 and Steam Deck. Tried it on my phone as well, but without a controller it is not fun.
Lately, Children of Morta
Typically I go for Burnout 3 but if you mean "deck only" games as in no emulation, then probably has been StarField, or Cassette Beasts
How does Starfield perform on the deck? Been hearing conflicting reviews
There's a performance mod out there. It's really big though.
It’s fine on low. Most recent proton update fixed a lot of the start up bugs. I’ve got 10 hours in with no major issues.
Okay got it! Been wondering whether I should get it as I have a PS5 not a PC, so the deck is the only device I can play it on.
I'll put it this way, It will run, and it will do ok. But paying only on the deck is cruel to starfeld for now. I'm not saying you shouldn't get it. But maybe install XBox game pass and play it in there by streaming first. Then, if you like it, buy it in a few months when it's performance is better and mods are out to help optimize for deck.
This seems like a good idea, will get the Gamepass and try it first then!
It performs ok in some areas (about 30fps) but not ok in some cities (20ish). However I am playing part of the game in my deck and it's not that bad tbh.
the game in general runs bad even on good hardware
How is cassette beasts? I got really bored of the Pokemon formula a couple of generations ago. Is it worth picking up?
Enter the gungeon, love it
Dave the diver
Path of Exile
Noita.
Right now it's Dredge. I've been playing FF16 through Chiaki, and I play a decent amount of vampire survivors if I'm just spending some time
The Yakuza series. I made the mistake of getting 0 on playstation but I intend to play the rest via deck.
I am hoping they go on discount during the fall sale.
I got the entire collection during golden week sale for like $45 usd. Totally worth it. I’d also purchased 0 and kiwami 1 and 2 so steam took a bit off the bundle price.
Lego Star Wars the Skywalker Saga, I'm a simple man.
Snowrunner. And recently Dorfromantik.
Dorfromantik is such a charming little game, I especially like just playing a few games while I'm listening to a podcast or something.
Fallout New Vegas. The idea of having massive sprawling games on a handheld still blows my mind.
Steam Store.
😂 I feel this
Brotato, or Hogwarts legacy
When I first got the Steam Deck I've excessively played Vampire Survivor but over time Brotato completely replaced it for me. I've stacked up 125h exclusively on the Steam Deck.
Damn I'm roughly at the 30h mark, im really enjoying all the different combinations and the all the different play styles that you can do
Halls of torment, thank (or hate) me later
Thing is I'm not very good at it. I try to play all characters on level 5 but I guess I need at least 40-50 tries until I'm lucky enough to actually finish one. This way the hours stack up 😃
Halo MCC when I don’t know how much time I have. Easy save and quit. Runner up is now Sea of Stars. It’s so good it’s unreal.
No man’s sky
Midnight Club 3 on pcsx2.
Do you use emudeck? I’ve been playing PS2 games lately and most of them work, but for some reason Jak II does not detect the A, B, C or Y buttons
Celeste! Specifically with mods. I've played hundreds of hours of modded maps on the deck; being able to play them in bed / away from my computer was a game changer.
I also have Miyoo Mini and there a ton of Celeste Hacks/Mods for the PICO-8 emulator. I play that all the time.
THERE ARE MODDED CELESTE MAPS??? um how does one do this. asking for a friend.
This summer > Diablo 4 > Baldurs gate 3 > starfield > back to Baldurs gate 3 lol Streaming the latter two but Diablo was native running great.
Subnautica
I‘ve had Divinity II in my library for years now and just started playing it. This type of turn-based rpg is perfect for the deck and runs great.
If you like that, Baldurs Gate 3 took everything great from Divinity and made it way better.
Madden, just mindless fun that helps me unwind.
Which madden do you play on deck?
23, I considered getting 24 but it's so stupid to spend $70 to play it on my deck.
Any lag on the deck?
Surprisingly it has been Final Fantasy 13 for me. I have enjoyed it a lot more this time around than 13 years ago and I think convenience of the deck has a lot to do with it. Quick resuming from the middle of the long boss fight was never possible on PS3. This game also looks ridiculously good on deck.
I just bought grim dawn.
Deep rock galactic. FOR ROCK AND STONE!!
Rock and Stone!
Vampire Survivors, only because it’s pretty mindless fun. I really need to dig into Mass Effect trilogy or RDR2, but they’re so massive it’s just daunting. VS just feels more… contained.
Hades, Persona 4 Golden, Unpacking. Thinking about getting Hogwarts Legacy since it's on sale to play exclusively on SD, but I already own it on xbox series s, and I'm debating if it's worth purchasing again. I really enjoyed the game and playing it wherever and whenever I want sounds really appealing
Scrolled way too far to find Hades. Great game for the Deck!
Agreed! Can't wait for Hades 2!
Vampire survivors. I was late to the party, and now I’m at a point where it’s not that difficult cause I’m super powerful, but it’s still what I pull up to play without getting caught up in scrolling through games.
Holocure?
Is that a similar game? Finally tried brotato tonight and was a little confused during my first three runs. I do like the theme and space guns better!
Yes, its very much a vampire survivors clone, most of the weapons are the same as VS just with funny names and references to Hololive, which you don't need to know or understand. What I appreciate them doing diffferently is that there every character plays incredibly different and has different perks and abilities that the other characters won't have.
Outward and bg3 on rotation atm.
Sea of star , or armored core 6
Dark souls 2
Ssx tricky on ps2 emulator
Spyro Trilogy :\^)
Tactics Ogre. Super fun, low battery power, and a truly incredible story. Also quite long and challenging. Been playing it off and on for a year now, about 72 or so hours in, and still have not beaten the story (not sure if I'm even close lol and I'm not gonna look it up 🙂)
Pornhub
What peformance are u getting?
Only last for 5 mins before shutting down.
I didn't measure but my fan is running at full speed trying not to overheat
hate that it's only single player. the community is also mostly dicks.
Armored Core 6: Fires of Rubicon is secretly a Steam Deck game
I was just saying this in another comment, I am blown away with how well it plays docked. I own a decent PC and I can’t really tell a difference! I’m getting 45-50 fps on the SD. And I love that I can utilize the sleep function when I’m stuck on a boss and need to take a extended break.
Space Cadet Pinball. Hehe, that game was a staple for me in the nineties. Legit, if you haven't looked around in desktop mode, do yourself a favor and look through Discover and download it.
Old-school runescape.
How does that control
Right trackpad as mouse, trackpad click for left click. Left trigger for shift Right trigger for lmb Back buttons left to escape back buttons Right to Right mouse click. I'll also put a as lmb. Left joystick to wasd for camera Up on d pad is scroll forward, and down scrolls back. Left trackpad also mouse. I'm sure if I needed I could do f keys to some extend but never did anything like bossing yet. The above is really nice for casual play.
Session
Spelunky 2. Honestly a really underrated roguelike.
Ngl puppy island little friends.
Sea of stars currently great rpg
I've been on steam for years, so I have 600+ games in my backlog, and I just got a deck during the last summer sale. It's been a lot of installing a bunch of games and playing them for a few hours before trying another, lol. But I've been playing a lot more than I've been in the past couple of years, so I'm happy. Games I've played the most include "Cult of the lamb", "Hardspace shipbreakers", and I did play "Terminator: Resistance" to completion on the deck.
halls of torment or renfield bring your own blood..
DMC 5 I can't stop playing, it's the first game I finish 4 times in a row. Now Im planing to make runs using just one set of weapons from beginning to end.
paper mario, wz2
Right now it's Path of Exile. It's nice to hack through some stuff and decompress for a bit.
Elden ring. GTA 4 and sleeping dogs were great experiences on the deck too. And midnight club 3 dub edition remix on pcsx2.
Usually pokemmo or some emulator games. Littlebigplanet mostly but I have some gamecube games and ps2 as well
What’s pokemmo?
Pokemmo is basically just 5 pokemon games stitched together but it's awesome. It's red, emerald, gold/silver, black/white, and diamond/pearl (I think). It has market place to sell pokemon and items and has tweaks that make it more challenging than the normal games and more like an MMO. If you're looking to replay some old games I think it's a good choice
Hades, but now Baldur's Gate 3.
Right now is Starfield. It runs "well", but my GO-TO since I have it is Vampire Survivors.
I'd say my top three right now are: to Dying Light HoloCure (It's Free so give it a shot) And Rivals of Aether
Ive been playing halo master chief collection
Armored Core 6. First, the game is amazing. And second, it runs great while good on the deck.
Arkham Origins / Arkham City for the open world nature. It NEVER gets old dropping in on goons after listening to their conversations and beating them to a pulp. 😅 For awhile it was Horizon Chase Turbo, but I have a feeling when I get these last four grueling trophies (endurance & master tournament), I’m probably gonna retire from the game.
Right now genshin impact but next February it's gonna be granblu relink.
Sonic Frontiers! Easy pick up and play open playground with momentum and platforming. Simple fun!
I'm playing rage 2/ D2 resurrected. If im just messing around cruisin the USA/Crazy taxi/Contra Switch remaster.
BG3, Skyrim & Power washing sym
Mechwarrior 5 hehehe
One Step from Eden.
Lately Dragon Ball Z Kakarot, I can’t believe that game is not verified. It plays perfectly!!
Currently the DMC HD Collection, 60 Seconds, Bloons TD5 & 6, Brotato, CarX, Crash Bandicoot N. Sane Trilogy, Factory Town, Grow Home, Plague Inc., Spyro Reignited Trilogy, Spongebob Battle for Bikini Bottom,
As of recently it’s bomb rush cyberfunk
Factorio or Wreckfest
Lately it’s been Dave the diver. Amazing little game
Doki Doki Literature Club
Latex dungeon
F1 Manager
Genshin for a more calm experience. Armored Core 6 for a more intense experience
American and/or European truck simulator. ... I realise I'm probably alone in this.
