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?

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.

Lately I've been playing Descenders: It's been a lot of fun and runs great! It's a procedurally generated cycling/BMX game.

I'm currently really into playing Mount & Blade Bannerlord on the Steam Deck, but I use it for just about everything these days. Between my whole Steam library and emulators that can play all the games I grew up with, it's like having my whole gaming lifetime in a tiny portable machine.

My Steam Deck was collecting dust as I played through ToTK on switch, but then my Joycon got the stick drift and I'm back to the deck.

Playing through the Ori games right now. They are such a wonderful platformer and feel like they were built for a handheld.

I'm playing Elden Ring and Vampire Survivors. I just finished Dredge and it was incredible. I'm quite excited for Hades 2, Starfield and BG3 (ideally with controller support) later this year and I'm going to work through my unplanned library until then.

I'm playing Doki Doki Literature Club mainly to see why there are all the disclaimers about disturbing content.

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.

I've been playing octopath traveler 2 and hi fi rush. I wish it was a bit smaller though. After playing Zelda on my switch it reminded me how unwieldy it can be.

Loving my steam deck but sadly don’t get a lot of time to play even on something so portable. I’ve been fooling with Cozy Grove lately, though!

[-] mtizim@beehaw.org 3 points 1 year ago

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

[-] Lx32@feddit.it 3 points 1 year ago

Just finished Octopath travellers some days ago (not 100%, only the main story without the special boss). Now I'm playing Blasphemous. In the middle the lagacy collection of megaman, the first 3 are done.

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.

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.

[-] rataerix@lemmy.ca 3 points 1 year ago

Been playing Dinkum lately, great controller support works well on the deck.

Dark Souls 1 for the first time! Runs beautifully. Gonna do 2 next.

After neglecting my Switch for months to play my Steam backlog on the Deck, I've been fully sucked into Tears of the Kingdom for the time being.

[-] worfamerryman@beehaw.org 3 points 1 year ago

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.

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

[-] Negative_Pair_5694@kbin.social 3 points 1 year ago

Halls of Torment (https://store.steampowered.com/app/2218750/Halls_of_Torment/)
If you like Vampire Survivors you will like this too.

99% of my Deck gameplay has been Harvest Moon Animal Parade (Wii game) since I got it last fall. Lmao. But I recently got a little chill game called Lemon Cake on sale so I’ve been messing with that. I just want calm games these days, preferably ones I can pick up and put down easily.

[-] chloyster@beehaw.org 3 points 1 year ago

Just redownloaded slay the spire and got the downfall mod. Been having a blast. Works great on deck, and although the mod loader is a bit finicky, it works fine once booted

Been advancing the story in Trails of Cold Steel II, the sleep function is a bless for these types of games.

[-] Cheesewithmold@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

Making my way through Yakuza 0. For whatever reason I stopped playing it on the PC a couple years ago and I'm starting over from the beginning now on the Deck. Also working through Shadow of War now and then ever since I got it for like $5 a couple weeks back.

[-] Kwakigra@beehaw.org 3 points 1 year ago

This is probably one of the best games available for the format. There are few joys that can reach the heights of some idiot picking a fight with you while you're standing next to a bike rack.

[-] skorm@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

Yakuza 0 is sick! Beat it on my Steam Deck last year and was massively blown away by the character writing. Hope your experience will be as positive as mine.

[-] Jarmer@kbin.social 3 points 1 year ago

Had an absolute blast with Dredge this past winter. Next up on my list is Nier as I've heard it runs super well and it's been in my backlog for ages.

[-] Rentlar@beehaw.org 3 points 1 year ago

Slay the Spire, American Truck Simulator, Bloons TD6, Deep Rock Galactic were games I had a good experience with.

I had a USBC Dongle and was also able to play games like TMNT Shredders Revenge, Out of Space, Moving Out, Plate Up and Overcooked with other people very easily by bringing it with me and extra controllers.

Love the Steam Deck. I’m able to play so much more than I did before. Currently playing Persona 5 Royal and I’m really enjoying it. I’ll be at it for a while so I don’t know what’s next. Maybe Octopath Traveler 2 or Persona 4 Golden.

[-] Domiku@beehaw.org 3 points 1 year ago

There are dozens of us! I’ve just been happy to get through my Steam backlog since my gaming PC died. I recently played Horizon ZD and am about to start Shovel Knight Pocket Dungeon

[-] elf@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

100% agree on the controller support.l for BG3. I tried playing it on the deck and it was just too cumbersome for me.

Recently, I was able to get Diablo IV to play using Lutris. That has been running incredibly good.

Other than that, lots of EmuDeck! I've started replaying Final Fantasy Tactics: War of the Lions with a patch that fixes up some issues with the base game.

Love the deck so much. You can just do so much with it.

Spyro is almost done, next would be Crash Bandicoot. I also started playing TOTK on it but the fps is atrocious at this time.

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

Avid Steam Decker here, mostly playing Boltgun and the System Shock Remake (which also inspired me to go back to the original System Shock in parallel to see what's changed)
