Horizon Zero Dawn, Super Hexagon and Hollow Knight. I tend to play Hollow Knight more often because Horizon Zero Dawn really drains the battery.
I just played Spider-Man Remastered. Had a blast. Thought I might get motion sick swinging around, but it wasn't an issue at all.
A smaller screen probably helps reduce the chance of motion sickness.
Finished The Last of Us Part 1 today. Now working on my Animal Crossing island 🏝️
I’ve been playing a handful of games:
-
Demon’s Tilt: an excellent pinball game that runs great on the Deck. Also, the pixel art is very nice.
-
Hades: a great roguelike, finishing the last few side quests now.
-
Void Scrappers: a fun little survivors-like. Cheap and addictive.
-
Cassette Beasts: similar to Pokémon, if Pokémon had actually innovated in the last few years. Awesome mechanics, and all the battles are doubles matches.
Demon's Tilt has been on my radar for awhile now. I've really enjoyed non-traditional pinball games like Metroid Prime Pinball and Yoku's Island Express, Demon's Tilt looks closer to a traditional table than those two but still seems like it goes beyond what a physical table could do.
Edit: just got notified by steam that the sequel to Demon's Tilt just released: XenoTilt
Days Gone. Looks good, runs well, fun game. Almost at 60 hours so far but end is in sight. Got a few in mind after I finish but not quite decided yet.
Cities Skylines cause I'm hyped for C:S2. Also started and finished Layers of Fear 2, great game!
High on Life!
Rise of the Triad, and always have a Civ VI game in flight
AC Odyssey
Just started Elden Ring for the first time a few days back. First game I played where I was generally blown away how well it runs and looks for a handheld PC.
Rain World, gotta 100% the game.
None. I got it so my partner could play video games on the couch with me while I'm smackin moblins in Hyrule.
