Looking to get a steam deck as my next big purchase. Seems like the perfect gaming device for me
I'm having a great time playing The Saboteur on my Deck. It's not on Steam but if you buy it on GOG you can run it through Heroic Game Launcher's Steam integration. You can also run the EA App (yuck) version on Deck but it takes a little more doing, or emulate the PS3 version.
A criminally underrated open world game from 2009 where you play as an ornery Irish man fighting Nazis in occupied Paris. It's well written and acted and nails the aesthetic of the time and place. Plus it's just fun blowing shit up.
Also my friend got me Potion Craft which is cozy.
I've been playing Diablo 4 as well as modded Minecraft with my wife lately. I have tears of the kingdom installed to play next. Diablo and Minecraft run surprisingly well with little/no additional tinkering once the initial set up is done
I love bloodstained, personally. Runs super well and the game is just a perfect fit for the deck.
It’s also amazing for emulation! Just about any traditional-controller game works like a charm. I’m going back and revisiting so many of the old GameCube and gameboy games
Control has been fun to play on the deck. Also started messing with ray tracing in the same game. Choppy when the effects are turned up, but it can do it.
Gunfire Reborn, Black Book, and Minecraft. Excited to go finish BL3 and Tiny Tina's on it soon
Been mainly using it to get through the Trails series before Trails from Reverie releases in July - currently on Trails of Cold Steel 4, but it's a hard one to get through.
Other than that, been emulating Phantasy Star Portable 2 Infinity and playing with friends.
Another one here! Mostly playing Witcher 3 at the moment. And before that Disco Elysium.
A whole lot of Street Fighter 6. Steam deck works perfect for working through world tour while away from my fightsticks
I used to, does that count? I'm still an avid linux gamer, but mine was just sitting unused compared to my desktop before I decided to sell. Either way, currently playing Zelda Tears of the Kingdom on Yuzu. Hasn't been exactly smooth sailing but overall it's been pretty good. The main issues are the emu being so new (bugs) and not having an idea what mods and settings are best for my particular hardware, and TBH steamdeck is great in this area since they're all the same platform aside the storage.
Playing Persona 5 Strikers and constantly feeling withdrawal as I want to get to NEO:The World Ends With You after playing the DS original. Which I feel like is in the spirit of patient gaming, because while the game is like 2 years old, I got into this situation for playing a 15 year old game.
Not too much right now as I have been in the TOTK hole for weeks, but recently I was playing the CIV 6, the new Hitman trilogy, and a few different metroidvanias. And I played HiFi Rush to completion on it. Fantastic device. Long term I will end up playing a lot of emulation on it too.
Currently playing Traveller’s Rest, it’s a little tavern, stardew-like game. Pretty fun but a little bare on the content at the moment.
Raises hand playing God of War 2018. Think I’m going to play Bulletstorm next. Not enough time to play all the games I’d like to.
I'm not so active with mine at the moment since I have a desktop computer, but back when I was recovering from a knee injury away from home, it was not just most of my gaming, but also my personal computer for most tasks, via a USB-C hub hooking it up to the keyboard and monitors I was using for work. I ended up completing a personal image editing project using GIMP installed in its desktop mode.
I've been gaming on Linux for umm about ten years? Before that it was on FreeBSD and before that, it was on Atari ST. It feels so weird to finally be playing the same games as everyone else. Thanks Steam Deckers.
If anyone wants to spin up a private server and host some kind of game, I'll join your world! 7dtd is dropping a new release tomorrow.
As I don't own a playstation I am playing the horizon zero dawn game, it is quite good. I will probably then play the final fantasy remake.
It has become my Dinkum machine. So great to have a system you can just suspend and pick back up again. Aside from that I've been playing Cult of the Lamb on it. The deck seems to be the perfect fit for indie games.
I just recently got my Steam Deck and I’ve been playing through GTA IV, as when I bought it my PC ran it like garbage and by the time I got a decent PC, GTA V was the new hot thing. It’s been an amazing experience so far, and after I’m finished with this I’ll probably jump into Red Dead Redemption 2.
Alien Fireteam Elite! Runs very well on the Deck.
Happy to be here. Vampire survivors for me, lol.
Wanna get into God of War, though
Playing Resident Evil 3 Remake right now. I'm amazed at the graphics and how smoothly it runs for me. First Resident Evil game I've played, and it is so so scary!
So far I'm enjoying it though. The darkness, the lights and fires make it look so pretty and atmospheric
