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?
Blasphemous
Same, I was playing Death Stranding but I paused it because I’m hooked by Blasphemous.
Been playing some minecraft java editiom, since the 1.20 update just dropped.
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
Hades, Returnal, and Hi-Fi Rush at the moment.
I think Hades is exactly what the SD was made for.
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.
Oxygen not included
You play ONI on the Steam Deck? Does it work well?
I’ve played that also and it honestly does super well.
Diablo 4! I just can’t put it down!
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 :(
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…
Right now I’m half way through Final Fantasy VII Remake. I never played the original but have always heard good things about it. I unfortunately already know the big plot point about a certain character but so far I’m invested in the story!
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
Into the breach. Such a simple yet perfectly thought out game, which you can easily sink a lot of hours into. It’s also cheap.
I just bought it, and am absolutely loving the art style and gameplay. I’m excited to see how the mechanics get more complex as I progress. 1.5 hours in and I’m hooked!
Also, got the recommendation to buy it from the fediverse so that makes it even a bit more sweet!
BotW currently (gotta finish that before TotK), with some breaks for SnowRunner. I need to get back into Elden Ring before I forget how to play!
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.
