Currently playing Mindustry, a factory management tower defense game. Very addicting. It’s free on flathub
+1, would recommend for fans of Factorio or shapez

Hades 2
After beating Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth, I decided to revisit the previous game, Yakuza: Like A Dragon. I first tried playing YLAD a few years ago on my gaming PC, but the incredibly long, unskippable cut scenes were super frustrating. Infinite Wealth had some of that same problem, but the story clicked with me a bit more and I've fallen in love with the mix of heartfelt quirky gameplay.
Plus, the Steam Deck makes the long cut scenes way easier to deal with when you can just pause and sleep your console if you need a break.
Yeah, I know YLAD has a stretch of fights/boss fight/cutscenes that took nearly 2 hours without being able to save. The deck being able to sleep mid gameplay is the only reason I was able to make it through. YLAD cutscenes are also super sensitive to instability from undervolting, I kept having cutscenes freeze for me but it turns out that I needed to reduce my undervolting setting a little.
Great games though, I recommend them both.
Everyone always says balatro and i finally got it on sale and now i can't stop
I kept reading people say this, and then I ended up buying brotato, I don't know if it was a mistake or not

I'm just getting to the end of the Dragonborn DLC before returning to continue my first run through Skyrim.

Currently started playing Kingdom Come Deliverance. Still trying out some graphics settings, but so far a good experience.
How does it play on the steam deck? Played it on PC and loved it but never completed the story. With 2 announced I’d love to jump back in
Loved it! I'll have to play it again since I bought all the dlcs. I think they recently announced kingdom come 2 so I'm pretty hyped
Heard mixed things about Fallout 4 new update for the deck. I decided to try it out with the default settings. Happy to report that it works great, I'm getting stable 60 (at least up to Concord) and it looks nice.
Picked up warhammer Boltgun during the fps sale. Never been into warhammer or played this style of game before but loving it so far. Also playing Stardew Valley on a new farm for the 1.6 update

a mysterious figure in a trench coat strafe jumps out of the alley way so fast you can barely catch a glimpse of them before they shoot a rocket at their feet and launch over your head. Before you can react they are gone.
Wait! it looks like something fell out of their coat when they leaped by!
On the ground is a semi-intact cd-rom jewel case with video game artwork showing some unreal tournament-like ripoff game you have never heard of with the title Xonotic
Do you:
a) immediately go home and install Xonotic on your Steam Deck
or
b) attempt to strafe jump after the mysterious figure
Steam World: Heist. Tactical turn based shooter. Somewhere between Worms and X-Com, definitely on the lighter side. It's the same vibe as Steam World 1 and 2, but now the cowboy robots are in space. It's perfect for the Deck and easy to pick up for a few minutes at lunch or in between meetings.

I recently have been trying to play through all of the final fantasy games in chronological order. (Mainline games). Playing the gba dawn of souls currently. Playing through ff1
I want to play the Dead Space remake, but its like I'm watching a flipbook that doesn't move nearly fast enough :(
Slay the spire and Portal 2 are my current time sinks tho
Playing Prince of Persia the lost crown! It plays amazing on the steam deck!
Pseudoregalia. It's a 3D platformer/Metroidvania that mimics PSX/N64 graphics. I'm only a couple hours in, but so far it's fun. The controls are buttery smooth.
Switch games with yuzu and the other one that I don't know how to spell besides that super hot and super hot mine control delete
I've mostly been playing a F2P game called Minion Masters. It's a card game, but the cards come alive in 2-lane combat like a tiny auto-battle MOBA. It has short game lengths (6-10 min are typical), is generous with F2P players (I've paid $0 so far), and has enough strategic (deck building) and tactical (card playing) depth to stay interesting throughout.
It plays great on the Deck without any configuration, even though it's "unsupported". I suppose some of the card text might be a bit small for some, but that's only relevant in the deck building screen where you can easily zoom in on cards. There's a UI option to read your partner's cards in 2v2, but I've never felt the need to. By the time you're good enough at the game to react to your partner's hand, you'll already know the cards well enough that you don't need to read them.
I should maybe add that I got a bunch of free cards when they had free DLC to celebrate the release of the game on Android, so idk if my F2P experience is typical.

I just found Super Woden GT 2 an amazing Retro-Indy-Racer.
Fallout 4 with the hype around the show and the sale, I finally picked it up. The survival mode is very fun.
Also with the shutdown of the eShop, I finally hacked my WiiU and extracted images of my games. And with that I started a new play through of Xenoblade Chronicles X.
XCX is such a blast, and it works so well on the Deck.
Finally managed to get my hands on a Deck this last week. Been having a blast with both Hades 2 and Pathfinder: Wrath of the Righteous.
I was a bit worried with Pathfinder since it's not verified, but I figured the controller scheme would be functional since they have a console version. So far I've been quite impressed with how smoothly it controls.
Yeah I usually don’t worry about non-verified games not working. It happens but the overwhelming majority of the time non-verified games work fine.
What to look out for is when a game is verified not to work.
I've setup up emulation and have had a blast playing Everybody's Golf 6 for the PS3. It is such a chill game. Golf games are really underrated and everybody's golf does a great job of cartoony arcade game mixed with just enough real golf to make it interesting. Perfect on the Deck.

I'm getting annoyed with the constant crashes of Workers & Resources (Industrial Planning, Construction and Management Game). It is by far my favourite game at the moment, but the game is very unstable on Linux, which can be very frustrating. I'd really like to learn more about troubleshooting compatibility layers and start options.
Minecraft runs smooth with Prism Launcher, which doesn't even have this annoying credential-loss bug like on the official launcher. Why would anyone map shift to pressing the stick in Minecraft? Proper crouching is but so important to edge-work and digging down.
I tried to start playing mc on the deck but I don't really understand how to make changes to the controller setup. I'll have to sit down and read it properly and try again next time I get the urge.
Every game added to your steam deck's steam library (whether it is an official steam game or simply a shortcut to a game you installed some other way and are just linking to steam (right click on game or application in desktop mode and click "add to steam")) has a set of controller profiles associated with it. Your steam deck starts off with some basic templates for steam deck onboard control schemes like Gamepad Layout or WASD and Mouse Layout that map the onboard steam deck controls to what most defaults are for that type of software or game.
You can search for community layouts very easily in the steam deck's controller menu, and you can go into the settings and start changing things by simply opening up the controller layout menu and clicking edit layout. You have control over all of the buttons and inputs on the steam deck and there is a simple menu system that allows you to walk through settings for everything on your deck (buttons, joysticks, touchpads, triggers etc..).
It might seem overwhelming at first, but the good thing is that manyyyyy popular games already have controller mappings that a steam deck user in the community uploaded to steam. Just go into the community layouts tab and browse a couple steam deck layouts, try them out quick and pick the one that feels most intuitive to you and then just go. Later down the road you can get your hands dirty and tweak the little things if you want (and I promise it really isn't that overwhelming).
The starting controller layout templates can't be deleted/written over, so you don't need to worry about messing anything up either, you can always just start again from the very decent templates and defaults.
Note: If you add a non-steam game to steam so you can play it in gaming mode, make sure to rename the added game (which probably has an ugly name taken right from the name of the file .exe or whatever) to the exact name of the game. So if the non-steam game you added shows up in your library as Minecraft_v12.4_shaders or something you would want to rename it to Minecraft and then ALL of the community layouts will show up for you. An additional benefit to this is if you use the utility from Decky Loader called SteamGridDB then when you open up the settings to give your non-steam game some nice looking artwork and icons in the Steam Launcher, all of the community made steam compatible artwork for that game will show up automatically for you to select. Fast and quick, no text input needed for search, it is fantastic.
(Side note: if it is a windows program you are adding, make sure to go into the gear and set force compatibility to proton experimental, this tells the Steam Deck to run the program with proton instead of trying and failing to run it as a normal Linux program)

Mr Sun's Hatbox (maybe my GotY?)
Dragons Dogma 1
I'm really interested in Mr Sun's Hatbox actually, I've played some of his previous games and they were really good. I take it you recommend it?
Definitely! The gameplay loop of action <-> base management is super cool. You end up feeling attached to the characters you've leveled high, so the missions feel high stakes even though losing characters isn't really that punishing in actuality.
I thought the game looked too chaotic in the trailers, but it allows you to play methodically if you want to.
I learned this week-end that Vita3k runs great on the Deck and that game compatibility has tremendously advanced, so I'm doing WipEout 2048 right now :D
Playing through Tunic for the first time - loving it so far!
Tunic looks great, I've been waiting and hoping it will get a decent sale.
Picked up Deep Rock Galactic: Survivor a few days ago and I'm now 20 hours in, really enjoying it. It's a very thematic translation of the original DRG into a survivor game. The terrain and mining are a great addition to the survivor formula, it's not only for resource collection but it also gives a new twist to the positioning puzzle. The game seems very well suited for more content so I hope that it will keep coming.
@Fubarberry Still into Balatro. Also getting into Minishoot Adventures and Hades 2 thanks to that surprise EA release!
I've had a bit more free time these days and really wanted to play sea of thieves but they broke the game for steam deck the day after I bought it. I've been salty over it ever since (around a week now)

Well, I think I might start an Amorous playthrough. Maybe this time I won't accidentally say the wrong thing to the wrong person and not have a backup save . Otherwise, I'll probably continue slogging through Baba Is You.
That, or try out one of the games in my library I've yet to touch despite having them for months.
Playing oh so much Vampire Survivors. The number of unlocks just keeps going up, but it's keeping my ADHD brain engaged.
Recently got into Hexologic and Harmony's Odyssey.
