Just curious what games have you all tried that you’re disappointed with on the deck.

So far most games I’ve tried on the Deck run great, but recently I tried the demo for Outcast the New Beginning, and while it runs somewhat well it has stutters, slowdown in the menus and makes the deck sound like a jet engine.

Now I last played this game at launch on PS4….Nearly 5 years ago, and was left in such a pit of disappointment I never picked it up again after that initial launch week.

Yesterday I saw it was on sale on Steam for an all time low of £17 and figured, sure - I’ll bite. People rave on how good this is now and how well it runs on the Deck, I’ll give it another chance and if I don’t like it I’ll just refund it

Wow. I can’t believe how well this plays on the Deck and how good it looks. Obviously I’ve made some graphics tweaks below the Steam Deck graphics settings and locked in at 30; but I’m genuinely really impressed by its optimisation. I’m about 4 hours in now and just wanted to share with anyone who has been hesitant to try it; don’t be. Now on sale is a perfect chance to give it a try. It’s genuinely a really good game and the hype was pretty real for once

Thank you for coming to my TED talk 🗣️

I was without a PC for 8 months and had been using my Steam Deck exclusively for gaming. Now that I have a PC again I find that the suspend/resume feature is what I miss most. I am playing the Indiana Jones and the Great Circle game and it has 6-7 unskippable videos on every start. When I was playing Persona 5 Royal on the Steam Deck it had several videos but I would just press the power button and suspend the game so in the 100+ hours I only ever actually launched the game a few times so I saved a lot of time, just jumping straight into the game when I was ready to play.

I believe there are some programs that let you do that on PC but they have some drawbacks, for instance if you suspend a game Steam still thinks it is running so your playtime hours rack up. Another is that the resources used are still being used, RAM and VRAM.

It's absolutely nuts how expensive anything gaming related has gotten just in the past year.

Every other gaming handheld is $799+. The Ally X is $899. The next generation of handhelds are going to easily be $999+. I couldn't enjoy playing anything on those knowing how much money I spent.

The LCD Deck? $399. Cheaper than a PS5. Cheaper than an Xbox. Cheaper than a Switch 2. Almost half the price of competing handhelds. And the screen really isn't even that bad.

Some more cheap and great steam games you’ve probably never heard of. Also some games that are coming out soon that look great or the demo was good.

First the gems:

Ballionaire $8.63 The plinko roguelike for the people who don't really like roguelikes. Tactile, addicting and great on deck

https://store.steampowered.com/app/2667120/Ballionaire/

Duck Detective: The Secret Salami $6.99 A witty and sharply funny point and click detective narrative that will surprise you. The sequel is also top notch btw

https://store.steampowered.com/app/2637990/Duck_Detective_The_Secret_Salami/

Spilled! $4.79 a very calming and satisfying game about cleaning up your local waterways.

https://store.steampowered.com/app/2240080/Spilled/

Cast n Chill $14.99 maybe the priciest one I will list but it isn't any less atmospheric and relaxing than the others. Can be addicting when you focus on chasing your white whale.

https://store.steampowered.com/app/3483740/Cast_n_Chill/

Frog's Adventure $2.49 probably the most criminally hidden gem in this list! It's short but MAN did I have a good time with it on my deck one late night. Takes some configuring to get the controls working though.

https://store.steampowered.com/app/2535670/Frogs_Adventure/

Endless Monday: Dreams and Deadlines $6.49 The text may feel too small on deck for some but as someone who feels like they live this title at work everyday this visual novel really stuck with me.

https://store.steampowered.com/app/2262610/Endless_Monday_Dreams_and_Deadlines/

Pipistrello and The Cursed Yoyo $19.99 okay this is definitely the priciest one I will list, but if you have the money to splurge and you like retro action games you might deem it worth the price. I really liked it and it reminded me of my childhood playing games like Wario 4 on my gameboy advance SP

https://store.steampowered.com/app/2870350/Pipistrello_and_the_Cursed_Yoyo/

Kabuto Park $4.99 the one that made me actually use my steam decks touch screen. Short, but I absolutely loved this bug collecting card battler. If there's any game you buy from this list, my heart hopes it's this one.

https://store.steampowered.com/app/3376990/Kabuto_Park/

TMNT: Tactical Takedown $15.99 I wouldn't have listed this because it's a storied IP but it has like 100 reviews on steam so idk if ppl know about it. A bit pricey but if you like this IP it's a good price. I really liked it though it's almost like a board game puzzle beat'em up. Very unique

https://store.steampowered.com/app/3229100/Teenage_Mutant_Ninja_Turtles_Tactical_Takedown/

PaperKlay $13.49 you've definitely never heard of this one. Mario 64 and Banjo Kazooie inspired this surprisingly mechanically complex 3D platformer. Great game on deck maybe the best one here for on the go gaming.

https://store.steampowered.com/app/1350720/PaperKlay/

Ruffy and The Riverside $17.99 The other 3D platformer I've been playing on my bus rides to work. Somehow even more charming than PaperKlay. I think it's worth the price

https://store.steampowered.com/app/1002260/Ruffy_and_the_Riverside/

Now for upcoming games that look awesome or play awesome based on their demo that may not be on your radar:

Absolum - TBA I'm actually hoping you have already heard of this game because it looks and plays amazingly. Beat'em up roguelike that is actually good. Demo is still up!

https://store.steampowered.com/app/1904480/Absolum/

is this seat taken? - Aug '25 you must have heard of this one as it's the 215th most wishlisted game on steam currently. Doesn't change the fact that the demo was a blast though. Very uplifting of spirits.

https://store.steampowered.com/app/3035120/Is_This_Seat_Taken/

Consume Me - Sep 25th Even though it's a story about trauma the gameplay was surprising fun and engaging albeit frustrating (by design). A dark comedy life sim comprised of mini games, check out the demo!

https://store.steampowered.com/app/2359120/Consume_Me/

Aquapark Tycoon - 2025 I played the demo for like 6 hours. It's a waterpark tycoon, it was fun.

https://store.steampowered.com/app/2819470/Aquapark_Tycoon/

Winter Burrow - 2025 God this game scratched that resource gathering/managing exploring itch PERFECTLY. I loved this demo and can't wait for the full release.

https://store.steampowered.com/app/3008740/Winter_Burrow/

Orbo's Exodus - TBA I am a big fan of Peeb's Adventure and while this isn't that, it's the next best thing. Crazy 3D platformer follow up to Orbo's Odyssey

https://store.steampowered.com/app/3005860/Orbos_Exodus/

My Card Is Better Than Your Card - TBA This is my GOTY, idc. It's a super cute and fun deckbuilder/battler that just.. can't describe it. Go download the demo right now stop reading.

https://store.steampowered.com/app/3617620/My_Card_Is_Better_Than_Your_Card/

Hollow Knight: Silksong - late 2025 Have you ever heard of this hidden gem? It's definitely coming out later this year

https://store.steampowered.com/app/1030300/Hollow_Knight_Silksong/

I've spent a lot of time this year finding new indie games and I wanted to share. Please don't flame me if you've heard of all of these :(

The new update enabled "Screen Reader" by default, you can disable it on Settings > Accessibility > "Screen reader"

It's basically TTS for steam deck.

it scared me at first when my steam deck started saying the names of my games as i scrolled.

Original Title: I can’t believe how badly Oblivion remastered runs whilst being verified. Screenshot shows lowest settings which STILL struggle to maintain 30fps and stutter like mad. Days gone screenshot holding a solid 40-50fps for comparison

Link to site: https://www.thegamingemporium.com/

Hi all! Back with the monthly update for the site that started here. For those who don't know, over the course of a couple of years I gathered together links to cool PC ports, decompilations, mods and other things suggested by visitors to this sub. After a while the list became too much to maintain here on Reddit, so I put together this little site.

Since the last post, I've added images to go with each link to make it a bit more visually appealing and also make it a little easier to navigate.

I have also added a new section for English translation patches for people who want to try games they otherwise couldn't.

There's been a couple of exciting additions to the pile in June as well, not least the native PC port of Mario Kart 64. Looking forward to seeing what mods come along for that down the line.

As always, if anyone has any suggestions for any of the categories they would like to see added, please let me know in the comments!

Enjoy!
