New to Steam Deck and PC gaming, I'm looking for game recommendations...
I got an OLED 1 TB for my birthday yesterday and I'm looking for titles I can download to play when I'm off shore on a ship. I like FPS games but am always looking for the next adventure. What do you suggest?
Edit- are there any Lemmy communities I should be checking out too? Aside from this one?
You're viewing a single thread.
Lemmy communities you should keep an eye out for is: !gamedeals@lemmy.world for freebees and discounts. The other social media site that shall not be named also has a similar community with the same name.
As for new games when in doubt, Humble Bundle. They currently have some fantastic game deals right now if you are a fan of Capcom or Indi games. Outside of the Destiny 2 bundle I've heard nothing but positives from them.
Now as you say you are new to PC gaming I'm going to recommend you some niche/personal fav games of mine that either aren't on consoles, or aren't know well on consoles.
-
Antichamber, a first person "shooter", that's more of a mind bending puzzle game. The most atmospheric game I've played and a wonderful time.
-
Most thing from Valve, Half Life 1 & 2, Left for Dead, etc. All good fund and often onsale for dirt cheap. Get it if you find it for the right price. The YouTube series "Freeman's Mind" is worth a watch if you want a see what the gameplay is like.
-
Portal 1 & 2, Valve FPS and puzzle games. Well known, and obviously recommended. Play in order is advised.
-
Slime Rancher if you are looking for a framing game in the first person
-
Star Wars Dark Forces, Star Wars in the Doom Engine. Not the biggest fan but it's the first in a series of fun adventure games.
-
Star Wars Jedi Knight Dark Forces II, This is an interesting genera of game. It is a FPS, but it's in the mission structure of the old doom games. With a narrative of Star Wars. There are light sabers, and you can cut off your enemies limbs. Fun time
-
Star Wars Jedi Knight II/Jedi Academe, aka Dark Forces III. Same as the first game but you get your saber quicker. Had a blast with academe.
-
Super Hot: Super. Hot. Super. Hot. Super. Hot.
-
Team Fortress 2. Team based hero FPS before Overwatch. I've heard the quality went down recently but I haven't checked.
-
Wolfenstein The New Order. Just a very angry dude killing nazi's what's there not to love.
What do you like about Slime Rancher? I tried to play it but I didn't really understand what I was doing. And then one of the slimes scared me (lol) so I haven't tried again
Exploration and slime optimization.
The exploration was more just looking around, and since the game is finished I can explore to my heart's content.
As for slime optimization, the farm has only so many plots of land. So mixing your slimes into mixed slimes lets you feed the slimes easier to feed and maintain.
The goal being a farm that doesn't create monsters from free roaming plorts while making the most money.
I'm in it for the exploration and without guides its a good time sink
That makes sense! Thanks for the explanation. I think I will give it another shot.
