I finally got totk running on Yuzu at a playable setting. But I'm 2/3 of the way through it on my switch lite. So torn on starting fresh on the deck or just finish it on the lite. The screen is so small and crappy compared.
Deck itself just started Hi-fi Rush. Such a cool game.
Taking a break from hunting achievements in Hollow Knight and starting to get into Horizon Zero Dawn which I bought last Steam sale. The battery sure seemed to last a lot longer while playing Hollow Knight...
Dicey Dungeons, Streets of Rogue, Enter The Gungeon (its default controls are kinda weird though); I played Cassette Beasts for about 10 hours but then I got bored.
I’ve been playing through Horizon Zero Dawn! Cryotools really helped stabilize the frame rate and I’ve been enjoying the crap out of it. I’m level 40 right now with about 25 hours in.
Been playing some minecraft java editiom, since the 1.20 update just dropped.
Oxygen not included
You play ONI on the Steam Deck? Does it work well?
I play it on Ubuntu with proton and it works perfectly well. It very very rarely crashes.
I've played that also and it honestly does super well.
I've been enjoying Diablo 4 on my Deck. Runs great and controls great.
Other than that I've been playing around with emulators to play some classic games I own that are not yet backwards compatible on my Xbox.
How was it getting it set up? I tried getting Hearthstone running several months ago and ran into some problems.
Pretty easy. You can install any launcher easily with this: https://github.com/moraroy/NonSteamLaunchers-On-Steam-Deck
For Diablo 4 you don't want the high res textures. Put the settings on medium and set the FPS to 45 and you're good to go.
For emulators you can easily install and set them up using https://www.emudeck.com/
Been playing Deep Rock Galactic on the deck. Also finished up RimWorld recently, which actually worked pretty well on the deck.
How's haz 5 with a controller? If I can viably have portable DRG I'm gonna take the dive and splurge on a deck lol
I usually play DRG with a controller, the controls aren't bad! For the deck, I think it's okay, switching weapons can get a little crazy because of the d-pad placement. The ergonomics can get a little awkward when it gets fast paced because of that. I usually play with a buddy who is way better than I am at DRG, so my answers are probably pretty biased, hah.
I have been playing Alan Wake remastered
Trying to get through all the games in that universe before Alan Wake 2 releases.
Hades, Returnal, and Hi-Fi Rush at the moment.
I think Hades is exactly what the SD was made for.
Finished Witcher 3 main quest in Steam Deck (the font is so small on Deck)
Now got consumed by The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom
I was playing Fire Emblem Engage (Lunatic/Classic difficulty), but then I started replaying Disco Elysium and got hooked on that one all over again. I was pleasantly surprised by how well it controls on the Deck -- great way to kill time on the train!
I've been interested in trying Disco Elysium, good to know that it runs well on the Deck! You mentioned playing on the train - is it a good game to play in short bursts?
Hmm... I'd say you really need at least 20 minutes of time to have a properly satisfying session with Disco Elysium. That's just fine for me because the train frequency in my city (Atlanta) is particularly shit, but results may vary otherwise.
One game I can recommend for play in short bursts is Slay the Spire. Even if you're just sitting down for five mintues, you can usually manage to get something accomplished and ascend a few nodes.
Monster Hunter Rise, Underhero, and I just bought Halo MCC for my first ever Halo playthrough.
recently finished Demon’s Souls on ps3 emulator, it’s originally a 30fps game so it ran just fine on steam deck!
Car Mechanic Simulator 2021, and No Man's Sky.
How is Car Mechanic on the Deck?
Works pretty smooth in my opinion. About the only noticeable change I see from desktop is it automatically moves to the next bolt when mounting or unmounting a part. Repairing parts and salvaging scrap is just slightly more difficult in my opinion, but that could just be a 'me' issue coming from keyboard/mouse and not use to controllers.
Into the breach. Such a simple yet perfectly thought out game, which you can easily sink a lot of hours into. It's also cheap.
Diablo 4! I just can’t put it down!
I've just bought Espresso Tycoon, and it seems like a charming little indie game, so my plan is to play through that when I have the time this weekend.
I mostly use mine when traveling so currently working on God of War II on the PS2 since i finished the first one recently on the Deck. I have Jak and Daxter and Sly Cooper queued up for later since I never got around to playing those before.
Edit: For Elden Ring bleed has really helped me on harder enemies. That and finding some good farming spots.
Much appreciated, I'm currently using some big flame sword that I leveled up a lot, but it's just not doing much damage. I'll see if I can get one of my weapons bleed imbued, cheers
Just got started on My Time at Sandrock after the cozy/family friendly games sales. It runs at a stable 30 FPS so far & I'm enjoying the game. Once SoS:aWL releases later this month, I'll be switching over though.
I don't have time for longer SD sessions so I only play like once or twice a week now, but halfway through Persona 5 Strikers (with the audio bug on Proton, sadly) and I REALLY want to finish so I can get to NEO: The World Ends With You, ever since I beat the DS original. ...I end up procrastinating work with Youtube instead. Actually, for the past year or two, playing games feels like I'm being productive, comparative to scrolling online.
Right now I'm half way through Final Fantasy VII Remake. I never played the original but have always heard good things about it. I unfortunately already know the big plot point about a certain character but so far I'm invested in the story!
As someone who has never played Diablo 4, I am enjoying it.
I've actually really gotten into the emulation scene, so I'm playing through Monster Hunter Freedom Unite and some Pokemon rom hacks rn. Also some Fallout New Vegas.
I'm playing Diablo 4, but not on Deck.
No Man's Sky is my first deck game. Haven't had enough time to get too far, found it tough to slip away long enough to play for decent chunks of time.
I finished playing through Pokemon Infinite Fusion a couple days ago and just picked up Gunfire Reborn.
I'm currently playing Pokemon Renegade Platinum on Retrodeck.
I just started playing Far Cry 6. I also have Hogwarts Legacy and Tiny Tina's Wonderlands ready to go.
Finished up the first Hotline Miami and just started Ape Out. Good with a controller and light power usage.
Diablo 4 via Xbox remote play. It'll never be as satisfying as playing it natively but the extra battery life is always welcome.
Just got an xbox so going to play a bit of cod
I've been working on Forza 5 Horizons and chilling with some Transport Fever 2. Both run really well.
Haven't tried any local coop games, but gaming via cellular hotspot in a bad signal area seems to be working out fine for games that don't need heavy bandwidth.
