Usually Indies, a lot of slay the spire recently, but I've just started Street Fighter VI.
Tempted by System Shock next cos I never played the original.

Steam Deck best tech purchase for me in a long time. Don’t judge me too much but I’ve been playing Disney Speedstorm between TotK sessions.
Disco Elysium. Fantastic writing and pretty hilarious at times.
It's also pretty good as a portable PC when traveling too, so that's nice.
Amazing game, so well written. I was regularly cracking up at it.
Celeste Strawberry Jam An absolute masterpiece that runs perfectly on the Deck
Yeah, baby! Somebody point me in the direction of another Steam Deck subre-... Channel?
I've been playing lots of Street Fighter 6, but also Metroidvania indies. Currently playing through They Always Run and it's pretty much pixel 2d Mandalorian and it's pretty damn cool!
I think the word you are looking for in "community".
Not a steamdeck user but a linux pc gamer so solidarity. Currently playing RE2 and Like a dragon Ishin.
Stardew Valley works nicely with the Steam Deck, though with all the mods it literally takes 10 minutes to load. On the plus side though, the suspend feature basically let's me just keep the game running for days.
Vampire Survivors for a while. Lately I just finished up a run through of Pokemon Red and just got started on a run of Pokemon Silver.
Horizon Zero Dawn. Had it on PS4 and didn't get far. Having a Deck changes everything.
After religiously following the order number tracking efforts on the Steam Deck subreddit (finally got mine May '22) it's been my 'clearing the backlog whilst sitting with the significant other' device...heavily punctuated with Vampire Survivors and, lately, Diablo 4. It's a great little roguelike device -- stuff like Cult of the Lamb, Spelunky 2, and Rogue Legacy 2 -- that I can just play for a few minutes wherever the Heck I'd like.
I still find it like holding black magic. I'm a software engineer, and I understand how it works, but playing a Windows port of a PS4 game (like Horizon) in Linux in my hands is something I don't think I'll ever not be impressed by!
I've actually set my Deck up with a wireless keyboard and mouse and a monitor and spend a lot of time using it in desktop mode. The "real" gaming PC is still around, but it's a fallback. So I'm arguably playing Beehaw on it right now, but I just alt-tabbed away from Overload to do this. I'll play Guild Wars 2 on it for a while tomorrow..
Diablo 4 for me! Amazing performance, it can even run on Ultra but battery is sucked dry within 45 minutes
Have you tried lower settings to see if you get better battery life? Do you have any issues with the always online if you put it to sleep? I almost never exit a game on my steam deck unless I'm switching to a new one
Playing Diablo 4 aswell. Just finished the main quest line. Also currently playing Mass Effect Legendary Edition.
currently we <3 katamari reroll which is such a perfect fit on the platform it almost hurts
Recently: Skyrim yet again, Portal 2
Currently: Horizon Zero Dawn, Wreckfest, Emulators
Next: Probably Cyberpunk. I started it a few months ago, but have been playing Horizon instead.
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
I have 400 steam games, a Series X, a PS5, a Switch OLED, a gaming PC, but I spend most of my time playing Brotato on my Steam Deck.
It's mostly all ToTK, all the time here, but on the Deck, it's the System Shock remake. Runs very nicely, but the controller support is so so & I haven't spent the time setting up a config map yet.
I’ve been playing Diablo IV since it came out! Runs surprisingly well.
I mostly play older games because I'm a bit of a patient gamer. Here are some I'm playing:
And games I'm looking forward to:
I played through Disco Elysium recently and it does surprisingly well for a small screen.
I have been playing a lot of BotW and DRG on it. Playing BotW on it is amazing, for DRG or mainly any shooter on it there is the problem of me not being used to aim with the gyro properly yet.
I've been playing Lone Fungus from the recent metroidvania humble bundle, it's alright? Takes a lot from other games, Hollow Knight in particular, and mostly doesn't live up to its inspirations, but is still fun enough. Very easy to binge and it has a bunch of areas/bosses so it's not really repetitive or slow at all. Like a 6/10 so far, but if you've played nearly everything in the genre like I have it's fun enough
That's been my impression of it as well. I'm also playing Haiku and Blasphemous from the same bundle
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.
Yes, I am playing Dredge right now. I am also playing papers please, which is obviously easier with mouse but it works good enough. I am also playing the first Ori game and Tetris sometimes. I played tails of iron too which is great fun.
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.
I was a really early pre-orderer and love my deck. Playing Cosmic Star Heroine this week!
https://store.steampowered.com/app/256460/Cosmic_Star_Heroine/
River City Girls is up next.
I am currently playing Red Dead Redemption 2 on my deck, performs well enough (the major concern is the affect to the battery if playing handheld). Keyboard required for first time set-up (virtual keeb didn't work).
Others:
No Man's Sky - endless playability imo and was my go to when I purchased
Planet Zoo - I haven't actually played on deck yet, but I got my desktop setup where I only need to use the mouse, and plan to try the strategy on my deck.
Dofromantik - this is a relaxed puzzle game that is very good on deck
Podman - containerization is a game, and the deck is a Linux computer after all :)
All indies all the time. I have been thoroughly sick of "AAA" games (and the industry itself) since the switch to 3D. Spelunky HD / 2, the new TMNT, Streets of Rage 4, Neuro Voider, Stardew Valley, and on and on. Also old console games because it's always morally okay to emulate games on old consoles. Related, it's always morally okay to pirate Nintendo's games.
Decker here. Have not touched it in a while since TOTK, but I've been playing emulated titles mostly on it and Civilization VI.
Looking forward to actually continue with Yakuza 0 because of the Like A Dragon hype lately! Also got some Humble Choice games I gotta try, like Windjammers 2. Really need to start getting that backlog down a bit.
Old school RuneScape- don't play this game, it sucks and I have an addiction
Yuzu emulator - playing the Luminescent platinum romhack of BDSP. Having a great time, it's an excellent romhack so far.
Mechabellum - the only good auto chess style game I've played, and it's really good. Doesn't quite run well enough on the deck for my liking so I just stream from my PC in the other room
I've been playing a lot of Diablo IV - runs super smooth at 45FPS with very little tweaking. The controls feel great too, especially if you've ever played Diablo 3 on a controller.
Other than that, I've installed Decky and have been tweaking the system to my liking with the CSS Loader plugin. Highly recommend giving it a look!
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've been loving Hades, but I'm currently fighting to get done emulation working - although I didn't spend much time and I at least know, where I fucked up...
Diablo 4 runs very well on the SteamDeck and has annihilated my free time
I've just beaten Control, it's pretty weird, but still a fun game. Worked on the deck without any issues and configuration. Next I'll play Horizon Zero Dawn.
Yakuza Like a Dragon is my current game, it's been great. I like a lot of things about the Yakuza games in general, but the combat never really worked for me. The combat in this one is so much better imo,
I'm playing TOTK on switch right now, but when I'm done, I'm probably going back to Lost Judgement.
From video gaming to card games and stuff in between, if it's gaming you can probably discuss it here!
