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?

Octopath travelers 2 and hifi rush.

Currently playing FF7 remake which has been wonderful. Moving on to Metroid Prime 2 next.

I am! I go through phases of playing it, and at the moment all of my attention is elsewhere (namely, TotK on Switch) - but, once I'm done with that I expect that I'll go back to my ridiculous backlog, and Apex Legends.

Currently working my way through botw. I know it's old at this point but I have never played before. Also cyberpunk 2077. I started and never finished. I want to be ready for the dlc that is coming out soon

Mostly FTL, trying to finish FFVII & FFX and work on my backlog of games I want to finish.

I'm using it almost exclusively during commuting between my hometown and my girlfriend's current city (nearly 4h) for which the deck is an absolute godsent

Played through the Sherlock Holmes games and now am playing the Ace Attorney games (for which the Deck is probably a bit overpowered but so what).

Not a huge fan of fast-paced games on the deck since I have a pretty good PC at home with a 144hz 1440p monitor which I really miss with games like Else Ring or (especially) Rocket League

Mostly point and click adventures. Harvey's New Eyes is my favorite among those I've finished for now

SteamDeck is GREAT for light roguelikes. They are often designed with controller in mind and are light on the battery.

I've been playing

  • Dead Cells
  • Hades
  • Slay the Spire
  • Skul
  • Undermine
  • Vampire Survivors

All great on Deck

I've recently started working my way through the Telltale Games and Don't Nod back catalogues. Strong Bad's Cool Game For Attractive People is great fun, and Life Is Strange Before The Storm plays really well too. :)

Spiderman Remastered and Cyberpunk 2077

If you haven’t played sleeping dogs, it’s one of the biggest underrated games and runs Amazing on the deck

[–] NoPolToday@beehaw.org 1 points 2 years ago

I'm playing through Far Cry 6, and it's running perfectly (Proton GE). I'm genuinely surprised by how good it works, even if that game chews my battery.

I've been playing System Shock 2, the original version i got from GOG (it took a bit to make the controls work but it works fine, though i found a weird bug with non-Steam games in that if you rename the game it loses the control settings - e.g. i set up the controls when the icon was named "SS2.exe" but when i renamed it to "System Shock 2" later it lost the settings until i renamed it back to "SS2.exe" :-P).

I also played a bit of Stranger of Sword City, a turn-based and grid-based blobber. I find the deck works fine with such games.

Also both games play just fine at ~5Watt settings (i like to optimize the settings per-game to get more battery life out of the system).

Steam Deck is great but I've been stuck on Tears of the Kingdom. Once I finish that, ill probably hop back on Hades or Signalis.

[–] Kindajustlikewhat@beehaw.org 1 points 2 years ago

Currently playing BOTW, Stardew Valley, Cassette Beasts, and Shadow Tactics Blade of the Shogun (I have trouble focusing on one game at once.)

Super excited for BG3 too, although I'm waiting for controller support with the full release first.

Trying to 100% Spiderman at the moment, and also playing ToTK on my deck
