What games have y'all been playing a lot on your deck recently?

Death Stranding. Still keeping on keeping on!

Great game, this was my covid comfort. Played it on Ps4 and I miss my bibi and the thumbs up
I wanna 100% this game again just for the sake of playing it portably. Brilliant game.

Tears of the kingdom! emulation has been making strides recently

Been wanting to try it but can’t find a rom. I own the game btw.
It has gotten so much better in the last few weeks. Nearly 30fps stable, far fewer crashes. Very enjoyable!
- Lol even the switch can do better than that
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 could try steam rom manager. It allows you to add your roms and/or emulators to your steam list from one app. It comes with emudeck but I think you can get it separately if you don't want to use the rest of emudeck features.

Diablo and Dave the Diver!

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.

Hades. Like 80 hours of Hades

I've been playing a lot of RedOut2 and Before We leave.

Fallout 4. Its the first game I thought of when the Deck was announced and hoped it would be playable. I haven't been disappointed after 8 hrs on my Deck.

I bought it a week ago and had buggy dialogue, soft locks, etc. in the house and at the gate to the vault. It was insanely broken. A fresh reinstall did nothing. Ended up refunding and buying Fallout 3, which has been fun so far. No clue why 4 was just busted for me.

Burnout paradise

I'm seriously addicted to Dave The Diver at the moment.

Just finished Assassins Creed 2 and Brotherhood and I’m playing through Revelations for the first time

Too much farming simulator

Recently played Axiom Verge 1&2 and currently playing Hollow Knight.

All the buzz around Diablo 4 got me thinking about my favorite aRPG, Titan Quest, which led me to Grim Dawn, which I have been having a great time playing through for the first time on my Deck.

Docked: Final Fantasy XII: The Zodiac Age. Perfect for laying in bed, has a near auto-battle combat system between cutscenes that i can enjoy comfortably.

Undocked: Persona 2: Innocent Sin. I'm trying to get all the achievements via RetroAchievements and am at the point where it's just grinding so it works elegantly for those random chances I find to put some playtime in. I played through the story, which was great btw, mostly docked.

Dave the Diver

Just beat the giant squid last night! I'm a little unsure what some of the mechanics mean still , but great game!

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.

Diablo 4! I’m really pleased with how well it runs.

Diablo 4 looks interesting, but $70 and microtransactions just rubs me the wrong way.
- Fwiw, I didn't even know there are micro transactions, and I'm about 3/4 through the story line and having a great time
- I’m really into it so the outlay is worth it for me, already clocked hundreds of hours since launch.
  The cosmetics are egregiously expensive, but they’re only cosmetic so they are quite easy for me to completely ignore.

Katamari Damacy ReRoll

How does it compare to the og katamari?

OG FFVII

Same!
- I just finished playing through New Threat 2.0 on my deck. I can't believe the quality of that mod.

Non-stop Diablols for me or StS if I can’t guarantee an hour or can’t get online. Diablo IV runs perfectly.

What build and level? I'm a blood surge necro at level 51
- Level 68 HOTA (hammer of the ancients) Barbarian. Looking forward to season one?

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 was addicted to no man's sky for a while, plays great on the deck. I took a black hole somewhere and then had an existential crisis wondering what I was doing it there in the universe and left myself stranded lost somewhere I didn't know

I've returned to the 2000's with Mass Effect, New Vegas, Morrowind and Stalker.

How is Morrowind on a controller given its age and UI design in general? I myself have only played with keyboard and mouse.
Morrowind never gets old. I always find something new.

High on Life and Arkham Asylum. Also CS:Go but that's an everlasting game.

I tried csgo but found I was horrible on the deck, always been a mouse and keyboard gamer for me

Not sure if this is heresy here or not, but I just bought an ASUS ROG Ally. It’ll be here Wednesday and if you guys wanna recommend me some games, do!

Install Arch on it.

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?!?!

It used to be my BrotatoDeck until Steam overwrote my savegame while syncing. Haven't been able to bring myself to play it again since then.
I finally got D5 on everyone a few weeks ago, then more new characters so the addiction resumes
