Steam Deck

Playing OlliOlli World. Really chill skateboard game.

Been playing through Dread Delusion, which is kinda like a love letter to morrowind. I highly recommend it for anyone who has found memories of Daggerfall or Morrowind.

Also been playing Yellow Taxi Goes Vroom which is a retro 3d platformer, where you play as a taxi car. You don't have a traditional jump, but can launch yourself super high off of ramps for big jumps. The movement is kinda closer to games like Tony Hawk, in that it feels awkward at first but once you learn it you feel like you can get around really well. Definitely recommend it as well.

I got tinykin today. It's a game that's right up my street. Feels quite Nintendoish

Hades II. It's so hard to put down.

Octopath Traveler 2 and Deep Rock Galactic. Oh, and Grounded, when all 3 of us have time.

Call me crazy, but I just picked up Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare today.

I haven't been interested in playing the Call of Duty multiplayer modes for a very long time ago (I don't even think the servers are still available), but in the past I did enjoy some of the campaigns. Infinite Warfare's campaign seems very sci-fi "ish" which actually kinda scratches an itch I've had for a while. Another game that looked similarish to this was the Crysis games which I'd never actually gotten a chance to play, but when they were last on sale I found out they didn't have cloud saves and I like to bounce between my Deck and PC a lot so that was a deal breaker for me.

I'm thinking about picking up Advanced Warfare too, since I had it when it came out on Xbox One and liked the campaign for very similar reasons. In general I'd love to find more games that have the same style to them, which reminds me I'm overdue for a replay of the Titanfall 2 campaign....

They happen to be on sale right now till the 8th, I'd absolutely never pick them up at full price.

Edit: The game definitely seems to have some rough points when playing on the Steam Deck. It plays fine on my desktop via Proton with no problem, but some of the in-game scenes just absolutely tank the frame rate till I'm pretty much forced to hard reset the deck because it goes completely unresponsive. Hmm. In addition, all of the config settings seem to get synced via cloud saves, however when you launch the game on a different device before it actually starts it asks if you want to reset the settings to be tailored to the device you're on.

Slowly finishing Thronebreaker, fantastic way to play Gwent without the worry of playing online against optimised paid-for decks

Started playing and currently addicted to XCOM Enemy within. Started playing on PC but thought it was old enough I could continue it on my deck. Only the expansion enemy within launches so had to start over but my first play through was NOT going very well at all. Really enjoying that game and picked up XCOM2 for $3 a few days ago.

Kynseed. It's like Stardew but pretty different.

Elden Ring, to get my new character DLC ready.

I STILL haven't finished NieR:Replicant.

Maybe this week.

I still grinding through Super Woden GP 2 and Fallout 4.

New this month is The Rogue Prince of Persia. Normally not quite my genre but it is fun. I really like the art style.

Also there is probably some Monster Hunter World sprinkled in.

And the Monster Hunter Stories remaster is coming and I still thinking about picking it up on steam instead of switch 🤔

Dead By Daylight! This game is very comfortable at low wattage. 45Fps @7w all low. The deck basically turn DBD into bite sized excitements.

Recently finished Animal Well and Creaks, currently playing through FEZ. I guess I'm on a puzzle platforming trip lol. Also played the free demo for Beastieball which was fun, but that game has no business performing so poorly on Steam Deck.

Stardew Valley modded. Send help. I'm getting closer to mod inception territory.

Hades 2, no contest

Balatro and Hades II

I bricked a save on pre-release 3 of Pokemon Vanguard earlier, so I gotta move my save to my desktop and boot up the game in RPG Maker XP to fix my mistake of using a glitch I didn't think could screw me over.

Besides that, probably gonna continue my New Vegas melee weapon only build that I finally ended up transferring the save for it to my deck. That, or finally get around to starting the new Ratchet and Clank after looking at ProtonDB to see what issues people have and what they do to fix them.

Fallout 4 survivor mode melee build. That game just won't leave me alone!

Last month had a bunch of great indies hit, I’m still dealing with them. Finished off “Little Kitty Big City” and Cocoon. Working on “Isles of Sea & Sky” and “Dungeon & Puzzles”. Still have yet to really get into Animal Well.

Not on steam, but PokéRouge is my current addiction

Final Fantasy 12!

I never get to finish it. :(

Just played Tell Me Why, as it was free. Played well on the deck with all the graphics turned up. I enjoyed the story, and it's nice to see a game with good queer representation, both trans and gay. It wasn't a long game, maybe 10-12 hours, low on the replayability unless you're a completionist. Light puzzle solving, great theming, and a nice soundtrack. Overall I'd give it a 6/10. I didn't regret my time playing.

Motor Town - I am now on the top 10 leaderboard for taxi driving because I play on my steam deck lots. It is perfect for it. Sometimes it gets the steam deck too hot I need to fiddle with settings.

Easy Red 2 - just buy it, it runs awesome on the steam deck, and with joysticks you can get a p51 mustang deadly locked in, maybe not quite a joystick but close.

Operation Harsh Doorstep - free realistic modern shooter with vehicles and modding support with a lot of potential, most maps run decent and scoped weapons arent bad on steam deck with gyroscope on, it really helps with recoil.

Maniac - yes

Marvel Midnight Sun. Runs very well on deck however it does drain the battery. Slightly repetitive but fun.

$15 - due to summer sale.
