Gaming

Been playing Diablo 4! Got to lvl 50 on my pc, but decided to try playing on the Steam Deck to play a little in bed and it surprised me how well it works.

Diablo 4, runs pretty decent.

I'm at like 60 hours of Dead Cells now and I still haven't beaten the thing. Can't get past the Hand of the King, but dang is that game satisfying to play.

I was never a roguelike fan until I played Hades and now I guess I'm an addict.

Been playing TOTK too much to pick the Deck up… Was playing Lone Fungus before, which ran really well.

In order of play time on the deck:

• Dead Cells
• Hades
• Katana Zero
• Hi-Fi Rush
• Neon White

Playing Cyberpunk and Ace Combat.

As a toddler+newborn dad I flat out need the option of playing on TV or in bed, and instantly flipping on or off.

I honestly never dreamed of something like this when I grew up gaming on Windows 95+. Can't wait 'til I can game with my sons.

Just started playing Persona 5 Royal. I've got a ton of looong RPGs installed, and nowhere close to enough free time for them.

I was looking to scratch the FromSoft itch after Elden Ring finally converted me into a lover of those games.

I bought Sekiro on my deck and got crack cocaine addicted to it. Plays GREAT. Also recently finished Celeste on there which is a game I see myself going back to again and again.

Been playing BOTW but also XCOM 2 and the roguelike deckbuilders bundle from Humble Bundle recently. Loving the steamdeck so much.

Just wondering, has anyone tried installing windows on it? From my experience using with dual boot, windows give much more fps stability like not getting mini lag etc. on games.

I'm here, but I've been playing TotK on switch as of late. I was actually playing Metroid Prime: Remastered on the deck before that.

I have one, mostly play Stardew and Brawhalla coop on it. Occasionally some Wreckfest or Sonic All-Stars Racing.

Playing Chained Echos and I love it! It's a great love letter to older turn based RPGs

We Love Katamari

Just got Tony Hawk 1+2. Is literally perfect for the Deck!

👋 playing God of War.

I want a steam deck so badly. In the mean time I’m paying my switch.

But I really want to play disco elysium. I know it’s available for the switch, but it pays terribly compared to the pc.

ohai, it me! Mostly what I'm doing with the deck is going back through my old library. My silly self even bought new vegas about a week before epic started to give it away (still worth it, best fallout game which puts it well up in the running for best RPG).

But the game I'm really excited about on the deck, the one I can't put down, is an indie hockey roguelike called tape to tape. I grew up on games like NHL 94 for the sega genesis, and this one plays like those old games, but it also has a generational roguelike element to it. You play a series of short hockey games against different teams, each with their own special talents. When you win, you win in-game currency with which you can upgrade your center, unlock different wingers to play with, unlock different talents that you can give to your players or even whole team talents. It's in early access on steam right now, plays perfectly on the deck right out of the box, has an active community where players and devs interact on discord and it's just really, really fun. Strong recommend if you played arcade-y hockey games as a kid.

I've had my Steam Deck since April of last year. I love it. I love the community that has formed supporting it. The last game I beat on it was Midnight Suns. Since I got my reservation for it in July 2021. I went from about 4 games on Steam. To over 140 games.

It's probably my primary console whenever possible.

Currently playing Death Stranding in between two sessions of Tears of the Kingdom on my Switch !

Been mostly playing ToTK on switch like some here, though I think I'll have to give a few more attempts at P ranking some bosses in Pizza Tower soon, or perhaps try to 100% Hifi Rush

Over the year I've finished Outer Wilds, Hades, PikuNiku, the second Ori game, and have been slowly getting through Elden Ring. Next is probably Tunic, but idk if it's worth my time after playing through the first 2 hours.

Nowadays I can't use any other controller than the deck, so I sometimes link it with the pc just for that - I just can't live without the gyro and the back buttons

Steamdeck owner since August last year, here. And I love it... As a traditional console gamer, it's been great to dig into my basically untouched Steam library that I've steadily accumulated with Humble Bundles over the last decade or more. Steam sales are a game changer... I've discovered so many titles I would have otherwise missed! I should say that I am 99% a docked gamer as well, and the Steamdeck works absolutely fine like this.

In terms of games - I've just started Ori and the Blind Forest (currently on sale). I'm also playing Final Fantasy XIV on and off. I spent 120+ hours on Elden Ring on the deck. And I'm patiently waiting for the Dark Souls games to go on sale so I can pick them up and start yet another playthrough.

I went from a Hades binge which ended when I entered the mid-to-late game grind phase interspersed with bouts of BoI (finally picked up Repetence) and found myself wondering what to do now.

So I figured, hey, maybe it's about time I finally went back and finished Bastion.

Then all of a sudden Street Fighter 6 comes out (which plays incredibly well on the deck) and a new No Man's Sky expedition launches, and now I don't know what to do!

I'm playing TOTK on switch right now, but when I'm done, I'm probably going back to Lost Judgement.

I was a really early pre-orderer and love my deck. Playing Cosmic Star Heroine this week!

River City Girls is up next.

I love my Steam Deck and use it for smaller indie titles I can play for a short time through the week.
At the moment I play Flood of Light, which works pretty well despite being a game relying heavily on mouse controls.
And as a second: Super Panda Adventure. A surprisingly fun metroidvania.
Casette Beasts is next, already played about an hour, but I want to finish the others first.

Been playing TOTK and FF13

I got it in September last year. While I am alternating between Death Stranding and Wolfenstein: the new order, I have to say that this fantastic machine has allowed me to play and finish 18 games since September, which is unbelievable for a person with a job and a family with a kid...

I finally claimed all my humble bundle keys for the last few years. So I've been working through some of those.

The stand out, cozy game, that runs really well on the deck is Spiritfarer.

HIya! I jump around a lot but today I started playing Warhammer 40K Space Marine again in preparation for the release of the sequel. Before that I'm working through Daemon x Machina to scratch the Armored Core itch I have waiting for AC6.

Currently playing some No Man's Sky. It runs better than I was expecting.

I was playing Showgunners and was really enjoying it but it crashes a lot on the deck. I'm hoping an update fixes it.

Been slowly working my way through Shadow of War, between probably a bit too much Against the Storm, Surviving Mars, Stellaris, and Timberborn.

Not played it on my deck yet, but I heard a LOT about Hades being amazing on Deck... I bought it the other day and played it a stupid amount over the weekend on my desktop in glorious 240FPS. Apparently it runs at a locked 60 on Deck!

Elden Ring (I'm a bit late in the game), and the new expansions for Pathfinder Wrath of the Righteous and Solasta.

I play some big name titles, but I kinda turned mine into an emulation box. New games are good and all, but portable Paper Mario TTYD is a dream.

I'm currently playing Octopath Traveller 2 and it's running great ! It's also a very fun game. The next game on my list is Outer Wilds.

Recently I was playing Guild Wars 1 and Doom (1996) on it.

Feels great for Doom.

As for Guild Wars 1, it was very much playable. The only frustrations were the login and double clicking in the inventory. Someone had already done a community layout which worked pretty nicely. Note though that I was playing just by myself, so I can't comment on while in a party with other players.
