I just finished Ori and the Blind Forest and it was a lot of fun. Really well done game in my opinion. Similar to Hollow Knight, if you've played that.
If you haven't played Hollow Knight, play Hollow Knight.

Here's hoping you move on to Ori and the Will of the Wisps. It's one of my favorite of all time.
Tears of the kingdom! emulation has been making strides recently
It has gotten so much better in the last few weeks. Nearly 30fps stable, far fewer crashes. Very enjoyable!
Is there a tutorial you can recommend? Not long after it came out I managed to get it running, but only in desktop mode, and input wasn't working at all.
you will need to add Yuzu as a non steam game in desktop mode then you can find it in game mode on that tab. before launching any games at least for me I have to use the touchscreen to launch them at first.
As for input, check the controller settings then go to controller layouts and the community tab, some people have made layouts for it. you might have to experiment with different ones a bit till you find one you like though.
XCOM2 - trying to play anything to make the wait to Starfield bearable!
Edit: adding to this that it’s a HOG on the battery which blows my mind considering its not all that graphically impressive.
It's all the calculations xcom makes to ensure the move you made was the wrong move draining the battery 😁
X-Com spends a lot of cycles recalculating a 99% success rate in order to hand you a miss.
Did you try manually setting the TDP? In Civ VI I set it to 7W (default graphics) and it has helped quite a bit.
Dave the Diver. It's not only the perfect Steam Deck game, it's contender for indie game of the year. There's just so much content and it's all so good!
I can’t wait to dive into this.
Heh.
No Man's Sky, lots of No Man's Sky this last month. Monster Hunter World is installed and ready to go... but I just need to finish something in No Man's Sky first.
For a smaller Indie title, I was playing Aground before the latest NMS community expedition.
My daughter has been borrowing it to play The Lake, and my son and I have been playing Nickelodeon Brawl and Nickelodeon Carts on it.
I recently finished psychonauts 2 on the steamdeck connected to the dock. It ran almost perfectly. Some areas that had a lot of activity would drop a bit, but overall it was an amazing experience.
Been using Yuzu to emulate Tears of The Kingdom. Works so well for the handheld platform.
(For legal reasons this is definitely not actually true please don't sue me daddy Nindendo)
Mostly Spyro Reignited here, reliving the moments of my childhood in higher definition. Along with Life is Strange: Before the Storm Remastered.
Sooo much Binding of Isaac, maybe too much. If you like difficult, rng-based games it's one of the best.
you mean on my brotatoDeck? surely people don't do anything other than use for brotato. I mean, that is what it's for. right? ... right?!?!
I cannot recommend portal reloaded enough. It's just gotten a co op mode.
I'm seriously addicted to Dave The Diver at the moment.
I’ve been playing Zelda ToTK, and can’t get enough. I absolutely love how far emulation has come.
American Truck Simulator. And I can't stop. I don't know why it's so enjoyable. I have a huge backlog of games to play, but instead I've got a load of Amonium Nitrate to haul to Barstow, CA.
I am enjoying my first Horizon Zero Dawn run. I am amazed by the graphics that I am able to squeeze out of the steam deck
I‘ve been playing around alot but I enjoy horror and survival horror a lot more on deck than on pc/console
I installed Windows to an SD card and now my partner and I play Call of Duty together from bed in the weekend mornings.
Witcher 3 almost exclusively for a few months now.
Been playing Death Stranding with Deck docked to TV and with a PS4 controller. Works like a charm.
Working on Octopath Traveler 2 and Persona 5 Royal right now.
Diablo 4. I was not planning on buying it, but since it works so well on StemDeck I caved in, and I'm having a blast. I love playing it while in bed.
Been playing a lot of Solasta lately. Also, picked up Inscryption on the Steam sale today, and already hooked.
Tomb Raider because 3,60 € was a no-brainer. Ended up buying the whole series in sale...
Diablo 4 and Project Zomboid. Playing these games with a controller is an amazing experience. Took me a while to get used to with Zomboid tho.
Spark the Electric Jester 2/3 are sick af!
Protodroid Delta is super fun!
Hotshot racing is a blast from the past despite requiring being online to even start for no reason.
Battlebit Remastered, but I do have a work pc incase they introduce the new anti-cheat to protect servers from DDOS.
I'm also thinking of getting into Ridge Racer for the first time, but MAN the car turning is WEIRD. Makes me want to start NFS Underground.
Art of rally
Vampire Survivors just keeps drawing me back
That and Hades with a side of Nuclear Throne
No Man's Sky has really suckered me in. I'm also playing through Yakuza like a Dragon, but NMS is spending a lot more time open atm.
