Right now, I’m playing the early access version of Baldurs Gate 3. I’m getting ready to put it down (frustrated: BG3 has the potential to be good, but without controller support, I’m getting really frustrated with the UI. ) and switch to Yakuza Like a Dragon.

What are you playing now and what are you looking forward to playing next?

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 have one, but borrowed it to my neighbor to try it out and see if he wants to purchase one. :)

I don't play on it often honestly, but I mainly use it if I'm going to bed and don't want to sleep, flying, visiting in laws, or want to play controller games. It's console lite for me.

I played Brotato on it for way too many hours.

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.

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.

I'm still not sure if I want to get the Steam Deck, I play portable games on my Switch and while I miss out on having all my Steam library and stuff, I just can't seem to reasonably justify buying one

Got my steam deck about August last year, I've been using it almost exclusively for gaming this year. At the beginning of the year I used my gaming PC to play some Battlefield 2042 but other than that its been Steam Deck only.

Blasphemous im working on beating right now before the 2nd one comes out. Also playing a bit of Ride 4 before 5 comes out. Once i am ready to loop back to other games on my list to beat I'll also be playing Nier Automata. Another I've found of interest recently just due to its simple gameplay and coop capability is Death Road to Canada.

Breath of the Wild and Guild Wars 2! Amazing Deck experiences. Forza 5, too, but it's so dang buggy...

Mostly modded Skyrim on my Deck (enchanted weapons build), but the majority of my time lately has been playing Tears of the Kingdom on the Switch.

I’m waiting to play BG3 until after it fully comes out. I don’t have a lot of free time as it is, and I’d rather not play through the first part of the game multiple times right now.

I pre-ordered the Deck way back on day 1 with the expectation that it would be a good emulation handheld, non-demanding indies, and Civ VI device, and that any modern gaming it ends up doing besides that would be gravy.

Proton turned out to be far more compatible than I ever imagined.

Still, I mostly do emulation, indies, and low-graphic strategy games, because anything with serious visuals, I don't want to play on handheld. But it is great to be able to continue whatever strategy or RPG savegame I've got going when I travel.

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.

[-] Thekingoflorda@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

I've been playing the games from the most recent humble bundle, eternal threads was a big surprise! It's really good!

I've been playing a lot of Othercide lately. Even though it says unsupported it actually runs really well! You just need to use the proton hotfix not default. I also played through Symphony of War recently and it's terrific. Anyone looking for something that you can dump 40+ hours into a single playthrough while also being EXTREMELY battery friendly, check it out!

[-] CrescentMadeJr@beehaw.org 4 points 1 year ago

I’ve been playing Diablo 4 on it the last couple of days. Before that was Death Stranding.

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.

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.

My recent obsession has been getting heavily modded Bethesda games running on the deck. Currently playing a version of Oblivion that has only ever been seen by me. I couldn't even get Oblivion running with 10 mods a decade ago but with the newer tools it's running on linux with almost 200. It's been fun.

[-] ebranty@beehaw.org 4 points 1 year ago

Been playing a bunch of Diablo 4 on my deck if I adjust the settings I can get 60 fps and bad battery. Some other games that I think work really well are The Binding of Isaac and Tetris: Effect

Just as a note, there's a couple of Deck communities. I'm on !steamdeck@sopuli.xyz (beehaw.org/c/steamdeck@sopuli.xyz) and !steamdeck@lemmy.ml (beehaw.org/c/steamdeck@lemmy.ml) at the moment. The one on Sopuli seem to be a bit more active

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

[-] NiceGlutes9140@tech.lgbt 4 points 1 year ago

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

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

[-] tobi@vlemmy.net 3 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Just recently finished Eastward. Really nice little action RPG. Felt a bit lengthy with about 30h for me, especially the dialogues. However, great gameplay with good story and nice pixel art. Difficulty feels just right - generally not too hard, but sometimes challenging.

Raises hand

I love my Steam Deck, although at the moment it's mainly being used as a PS5 remote play device while I'm playing God of War:Ragnarok. I play all sorts of stuff on it though, and it probably gets more use than my desktop gaming PC these days.
