For me I’m currently trying to push my way through elden ring. But gosh it sure gets hard half way through, especially underleveled and offline. I need to find that mimic summon.
Other than that, cycling through local coop games like PlateUp. Any suggestions?
I finally got totk running on Yuzu at a playable setting. But I’m 2/3 of the way through it on my switch lite. So torn on starting fresh on the deck or just finish it on the lite. The screen is so small and crappy compared.
Deck itself just started Hi-fi Rush. Such a cool game.
Blasphemous
Same, I was playing Death Stranding but I paused it because I’m hooked by Blasphemous.

You play ONI on the Steam Deck? Does it work well?
I play it on Ubuntu with proton and it works perfectly well. It very very rarely crashes.
I’ve played that also and it honestly does super well.
Been playing Deep Rock Galactic on the deck. Also finished up RimWorld recently, which actually worked pretty well on the deck.
How’s haz 5 with a controller? If I can viably have portable DRG I’m gonna take the dive and splurge on a deck lol
I usually play DRG with a controller, the controls aren’t bad! For the deck, I think it’s okay, switching weapons can get a little crazy because of the d-pad placement. The ergonomics can get a little awkward when it gets fast paced because of that. I usually play with a buddy who is way better than I am at DRG, so my answers are probably pretty biased, hah.
Been playing some minecraft java editiom, since the 1.20 update just dropped.
Dicey Dungeons, Streets of Rogue, Enter The Gungeon (its default controls are kinda weird though); I played Cassette Beasts for about 10 hours but then I got bored.
+1 for Dicey Dungeons. Playing it on the Steam Deck might actually be the ideal format, too. I don’t think I could have cleared the Witch campaign at all if I hadn’t broken that up into dozens of micro-sessions.
One thing I will lament, however, is the Steam Deck’s current poor support for Bluetooth headphones. Being forced to resync headphones constantly forces me to play on mute most of the time, but it’s practically a crime against fun to play without the Dicey Dungeons soundtrack.
I keep dedicated wired headphones for my Nintendo Switch and Steamdeck. As usual bluetooth ones for phones and tablets.
If you get a pair of bt headphones exclusively for the deck, they seem to stay paired in my experience.
As in, the headphones are only paired to the deck and nothing else.
But yeah, wired is still easier in 2023 :(
I was going to say I remember remapping the blanks to one button in EtG and also moving the map button around, but on SD, the back buttons must be great, since most of my playtime was before I got mine.
Taking a break from hunting achievements in Hollow Knight and starting to get into Horizon Zero Dawn which I bought last Steam sale. The battery sure seemed to last a lot longer while playing Hollow Knight…
I’ve been playing through Horizon Zero Dawn! Cryotools really helped stabilize the frame rate and I’ve been enjoying the crap out of it. I’m level 40 right now with about 25 hours in.
I’ve been enjoying Diablo 4 on my Deck. Runs great and controls great.
Other than that I’ve been playing around with emulators to play some classic games I own that are not yet backwards compatible on my Xbox.
How was it getting it set up? I tried getting Hearthstone running several months ago and ran into some problems.
Pretty easy. You can install any launcher easily with this: https://github.com/moraroy/NonSteamLaunchers-On-Steam-Deck
For Diablo 4 you don’t want the high res textures. Put the settings on medium and set the FPS to 45 and you’re good to go.
For emulators you can easily install and set them up using https://www.emudeck.com/
I have been playing Alan Wake remastered
Trying to get through all the games in that universe before Alan Wake 2 releases.
Monster Hunter Rise, Underhero, and I just bought Halo MCC for my first ever Halo playthrough.
You’re in for a treat. MCC is good fun
Hades, Returnal, and Hi-Fi Rush at the moment.
I think Hades is exactly what the SD was made for.
Finished Witcher 3 main quest in Steam Deck (the font is so small on Deck)
Now got consumed by The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom
I was playing Fire Emblem Engage (Lunatic/Classic difficulty), but then I started replaying Disco Elysium and got hooked on that one all over again. I was pleasantly surprised by how well it controls on the Deck – great way to kill time on the train!
I’ve been interested in trying Disco Elysium, good to know that it runs well on the Deck! You mentioned playing on the train - is it a good game to play in short bursts?
Hmm… I’d say you really need at least 20 minutes of time to have a properly satisfying session with Disco Elysium. That’s just fine for me because the train frequency in my city (Atlanta) is particularly shit, but results may vary otherwise.
One game I can recommend for play in short bursts is Slay the Spire. Even if you’re just sitting down for five mintues, you can usually manage to get something accomplished and ascend a few nodes.
My bus ride is about 60 minutes so that should be enough then. Thanks! Yeah, I really like Slay the Spire and similar games (e.g. Wildfrost) for really short bursts.
You can definitely play it in bits if you’re able to follow the game log. It keeps track of all the conversations and bits that you need to remember.
There’s no action in the game, so there’s nothing you can’t just put down and pick up later, as long as you can remember what you were in the process of doing or where you were going.
