Weird question probably but here goes :
I'm discovering the joy of having a Dock, it's great!
But what's even better is I can just get my PC to stream more powerful games to my Deck (that the Deck would otherwise struggle with)
It works flawlessly (zero input delay, or rather not noticeable), better than Steam Link / Remote Play (I get input delay on this), and I haven't tried Moonlight
It's also so much more convenient than moving my PC to the living room (where the TV is) and plugging it there!
So I'm like wow Order of the Sinking Star is awesome, but what if I played games that my Deck sometimes has trouble with? Like I could run Witcher 3 Remastered with some better settings!
So I guess I'm not asking for great Steam Deck games, it's more like, what are games that my PC could run that feel great on controller, that I would stream to my Docked Deck?
Thanks!!
Not answering your question, but related: I mostly use my Steam Deck with a dock, TV, and controller. The only issue I’ve really had is that it doesn’t always run the fan as needed, and then the CPU will throttle when it gets too hot - with more demanding games. It happened a lot with Diablo IV and more recently with Need for Speed Heat or Palworld, less so with games like Stardew Valley, Casette Beasts or Pizza Possum. I bought an external fan that forces it to cool (https://jsaux.com/products/fan-cooler-for-steam-deck-gp0200) and haven’t had any throttling issues since. The noise is a little annoying sometimes though.
Answering your question: the above listed games are fun, and easily played with a controller.
That's very interesting, I have basically the opposite of you: my Deck will turn fans on at any chance so after a while it gets annoying sound wise, I never really looked at the fan curves but I should really do that
