Right now, I’m playing the early access version of Baldurs Gate 3. I’m getting ready to put it down (frustrated: BG3 has the potential to be good, but without controller support, I’m getting really frustrated with the UI. ) and switch to Yakuza Like a Dragon.
What are you playing now and what are you looking forward to playing next?
I have one, but borrowed it to my neighbor to try it out and see if he wants to purchase one. :)
I don’t play on it often honestly, but I mainly use it if I’m going to bed and don’t want to sleep, flying, visiting in laws, or want to play controller games. It’s console lite for me.
I played Brotato on it for way too many hours.
It’s pretty much the same for me, basically only use it when I’m to lazy to sit infront of the pc or I’m simply just not at home.
I do have to admit the syncing over Steam works amazingly, I can stop playing on my pc sit on the couch and my latest save is already on there.
It does work really well, but doesn’t sync when you’re playing offline and want that to go back to your desktop or want the hours to show up. :(
I had a similar problem when trying to sync non-steam games, then I stumbled upon syncthing. I’m hosting it on my Pi, so it would sync for me even when I’m offline, but being at a different place is an issue then.
Meh, I don’t care to solve for it personally. No one will see my hours and that’s not a bad thing. 😋
Brotato is so addictive haha.
Way more than that vampire game IMO lol. I got the mods too and it’s so much fun.
Totally!
Playing Cyberpunk and Ace Combat.
As a toddler+newborn dad I flat out need the option of playing on TV or in bed, and instantly flipping on or off.
I honestly never dreamed of something like this when I grew up gaming on Windows 95+. Can’t wait 'til I can game with my sons.
Not the same games but exact same vibe. Need to be able to turn it off literally minutes after I start. Can’t wait to game with the kids. I want them to be older already but also not yet.
Careful what you wish for. All my kids play is the Roblox SDK to design train games lol. Ok I guess we do rock the occasional Mario Cart 😁
I have been playing a lot of BotW and DRG on it. Playing BotW on it is amazing, for DRG or mainly any shooter on it there is the problem of me not being used to aim with the gyro properly yet.
Just started playing Persona 5 Royal. I’ve got a ton of looong RPGs installed, and nowhere close to enough free time for them.
Is it any good? Was thinking of trying it out.
It was fantastic, one of my favorite games!
I love how simple it is to play games on the Steam Deck The user interface is straight-forward, like it is with the other gaming consoles
PRO TIP: Turn Off the FPS Counter, you get to enjoy the game you are playing MORE
Never.
I’ve been playing Spiritfarer and Forza Horizon 4 on mine as of late.
Ive been emulating and toying around with linux a bit mostly I plan to get TOTK on there when im done playing it on the switch
Darkest Dungeon 2, TOTK, Everspace 2. Some Time Wasters and Dofromatik when I need something mindless.
I know it isn’t typical, but I love using my deck as a Steam Link client.
May I ask what your host is running? I was also trying this, but running Linux with wayland is not doing great work for me. I wasn’t having issue under x11 tho.
Sure. My gaming PC is on Windows 11, and my Deck is on Arch. It seems to work pretty seamlessly in that configuration.
Disco Elysium. Fantastic writing and pretty hilarious at times.
It’s also pretty good as a portable PC when traveling too, so that’s nice.
Steam Deck best tech purchase for me in a long time. Don’t judge me too much but I’ve been playing Disney Speedstorm between TotK sessions.
Yeah! It’s such a perfect device. So easy to stuff it in a backpack and just bring it out whenever. It’s honestly everything I’ve ever wanted the switch to be
Been playing BOTW but also XCOM 2 and the roguelike deckbuilders bundle from Humble Bundle recently. Loving the steamdeck so much.
how is Botw performing?
I am playing TOTK and it’s pretty decent. 30FPS 95% of the time.
Which deckbuilders are your favorites? I’ve been playing STS and Monster Train but always looking for more good ones. (Also a bunch of boardgame style deckbuilders (Dominion, Ascension etc) but that’s a different category I guess)
I found dicey dungeons to be good, and fights in tight spaces is okay, but probably a bit mid.
Had mine since launch, been chilling playing P5R recently.
Batman Arkham City, then I moved on to Arkham Knight but I streamed that from my desktop because it’s more demanding. Now I’m trying to figure out what to play next. Maybe Jedi Fallen Order.
I’m playing fallen order at the moment and it’s way better than on the desktop because I traditionally use keyboard and mouse for desktop games… this game is made for the controller so steam deck is perfect
Currently playing through Ori and the Blind Forest on my Deck. It’s like it was made for that form factor.
