MODERATORS
Control is really good, I beat it earlier this year.
I have Alan Wake and Quantum Break in my library, going to try to play them later once I catch up on some other parts of my backlog.
Both good games as well and they run flawless on the SD. It’s also fun to compare the games side by side and see the progress (mostly).
Just finished Lil Gator Game which was such a charming little game. The writing was great and the achievements were even painless to wrap up after I rolled credits. Super cute and cozy, do recommend.
Otherwise, still chugging along on Octopath Traveler II which is a big improvement over the first game imo. Between a willingness to play with the camera angles, more flexible story structures, and some good QOL, this is definitely a much more enjoyable experience for me than the first.
Evoland II
Shadow of Mordor
Only just got my Deck. Still in the process of doing upgrades and mods. But while I have been testing my overclock and cooling mods and whatnot, I have put a few hours into Elden Ring and it's awesome on the Deck. The load times are insanely fast compared to my actual high-end gaming laptop. Looking forward to starting a new save on the Deck, after I have everything setup the way I want it. Waiting on a 2tb ssd to replace the 1tb that I just put in the a few days ago. Need to get that swap done before I can finish the cooling mod.
I've also put a couple of hours into the Demon Slayer game while testing. That game runs at a locked 60 fps, and plays amazingly.
Nova Drift is a great asteroids rogue like.
Castlevania IV from the advance collection (and it's frustrating AF) trying to do all of the classic castlevanias but I may hang this one up and move on. I feel like I spend more time fighting the controls than the platforming.
About two hours into Chained Echos after finishing Cosmic Star Heroine. I always have to have a jrpg going.
I'm finishing spider-man and will start miles morales after that
I just finished Tohu, Kraken academy and Killer Paradise.
Killer Paradise was really cool. All success unlocked.
Kraken Academy was good but the loop is a little boring and the plot easy to guess. Some jokes were funny. All success unlocked too.
Tohu was good despite easy puzzle and very short.
I’m going for Remnant from the ashes, and trying to push a little more into ghostwire tokyo, and i’m tempted by Disco Elysium on the Humble Choice this month.
Also i will try grime, and waiting to be with friends to coop on fury unleashed.
So, I got some games from the sale and slowly started playing them a little...
Slay the Spire seems to be quite liked, but it's not really my thing. Beat the game with three of the four characters I have access to and it still hasn't really "clicked". If somebody could explain to me what makes this game so (supposedly) great, maybe I'd be able to appreciate it a little better?
I also got Redout 2, because I really enjoyed the first part and thought the second should be at least as good. So far I like it, seems like a graphics upgrade and some gameplay enhancements from the first part. However, with ai assist disabled, the difficulty curve seems to be brutally steep. Also, even though I have only played like 8 tutorials and 3 campaign tracks so far, I have already had some issues with clipping through the course after jumps, which might turn into a rather annoying trait if it remains an issue. Still, would recommend. It's a beautiful antigravity racer with terrific "car" mechanics.
Apart from that, I got the gog version of Sid Meier's Alpha Centauri running (although the videos don't work). It's kind of my comfort game which I keep returning to.
Regarding StS, I think you've given it a fair shot if you've completed it with three characters already. If you still want to press on, then I found the fourth character really fun and engaging. I didn't try that many difficulty levels (think I made it to 4 with the Ironclad), but I really liked the daily challenge as well to mix it up and quickly feel powerful in my runs.
I always think of Slay the Spire as my gateway drug into other deckbuilding games such as Monster train and Griftlands, so if you've enjoyed the card aspect of it, maybe give one of those a shot? (Or stay clear of them if you hated that part)
I just started Bioshock 2 Remastered. It runs surprisingly well.
Thps3 and pikmin 3.
Although I'm likely to buy baldursg gate 3 in a couple days once I've heard how it holds up
I got the Deck from Summer Sale and since then I've been playing:
- Horizon Zero Dawn
- Been waiting to play this one for years, but haven't had Playstation since PS2 or proper desktop PC in years. SD fulfilled all my expectations, never getting a desktop PC anymore!
- Halls of Torment
- Enjoyed Vampire Survivors on Xbox, enjoying this one
- Hogwarts Legacy
- Seems really "meh", so played only couple of hours.
Stardew Valley and Halls of Torment
Been playing a bit of Close Combat 3: The Russian Front. Picked it up from the summer sale and I've been wanting to try this series for as long as I've known about it (I think I read about CC2 in a gaming mag when it was new). Fun game but not the easiest to get running and nobody seems to be playing the games in this series with Deck of even a controller so I didn't really find any controller mapping for it. WNot a huge issue since the game is fairly easy to control even with just a mouse.
I tend to play lots of strategy games and such that usually rely on the mouse quite a bit, the deck is such a great device for this use case.
High on Life!
I play way too much FFXIV on mine, but been playing Baba is You, FFIX, Muse Dash, Downwell, Powerwash Sim, Slime Rancher 2 as well... I'm stoked that it plays the Lies of P demo pretty well!
I'm currently playing Batman Arkam Knight after buying at a huge discount last week. It works flawlessly on Deck and it looks gorgeous even on the small screen, the game is also great fun; absolutely recommended!
Just finished up Diablo 4 and now I'm playing Dave the Diver.
Skul The Hero Slayer Horizon Turbo Chase
The Last Epoch, Pacer and Legend Bowl.
Just finished Monster Sanctuary. Moving onto Super Robot Wars 30
I just beat and got 100% achievements in Ender Lilies. Solid metroidvania.
With the release of Book of Hours just around the corner, I dug out Cultist Simulator again. It runs well enough on the Steam Deck, but it needs mouse input (-> touchpads), and sometimes it flickers (this seems to be related to autosaves).
Overall it works well enough on the Deck so that it's fun to play. The flickering is annoying though.
darkest dungeon, mechanicus, the dishonnered series, witcher, ff7 crisis remaster, smash bros, random pokemon hacks, deus ex hr
I did limbo, guacemelee, inside. I started a cyberpunk game too, but switched to platform then.
Emulating Final Fantasy X. It plays really well, especially with save states and 2x speed.
It's been mostly Diablo 4 for me, but I'm also playing a ton of Picross via Yuzu. While I own these games on Switch, I really much more prefer the feel of Steam Deck in my hands.
