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've been playing Celeste on the Steam Deck. Really good game and its a replay, since previously I had done it on the Switch.

[–] jimp@beehaw.org 2 points 1 year ago

Nothing at the moment on the Steam Deck, still working my way through Tears of the Kingdom on Switch.

Before TOTK I was going back and forth between the recent Sackboy: A Big Adventure port and Pedestrian. Before that I played through the Spider-Man and Miles Morales ports as well.

Not to mention all the various emulation I've setup and been experimenting with, I can't even remember all the games I was testing out there, dozens of them!

I am absolutely ravishing skyrim with mods on my steam deck right now. I'm playing a destruction mage, and half the time when im attacking I say "and so I started blastin" to myself. I play Vampire Survivors often, dead cells, subnautica, No Mans Sky, etc. Might give elden ring another try since I've been enjoying more difficulty in games.

Love my Deck. Haven't been playing as much since I've been playing a lot of TOTK on Switch, but currently I'm finishing up P4G

Loving System Shock remake on the Deck right now. Just freaking fantastic.

I have mine but rarely know what to play on it, as my favorite games aren't comfortable to play on the deck - ie AoE, Endless Legend, Phasmophobia... This thread is going to be quite useful for me.

Gunfire Reborn, Black Book, and Minecraft. Excited to go finish BL3 and Tiny Tina's on it soon

[–] dtlnx@beehaw.org 2 points 1 year ago

Currently playing through Halo Reach. I've never played the series before, and so far I'm really liking it. Even though it is marked as playable, the only slight slowdown was signing into Microsoft, which wasn't too bad even.

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.

[–] hellerphant@beehaw.org 2 points 1 year ago

I use my deck daily. Anything that is super intensive I actually just stream from my PC upstairs to my deck / or TV downstairs using the deck. For native games I am currently playing Diablo IV, Eastward, and about to start XCOM 2 after finishing the first game entirely on deck earlier this year.

I've been playing Diablo 4 and enjoying it on my steam deck.

Just recently finished Eastward. Really nice little action RPG. Felt a bit lengthy with about 30h for me, especially the dialogues. However, great gameplay with good story and nice pixel art. Difficulty feels just right - generally not too hard, but sometimes challenging.

[–] Metatron@beehaw.org 2 points 1 year ago

Wow, I'm loving Eastward's art - gorgeous!

[–] Theorize3806@beehaw.org 2 points 1 year ago

Don't have the steam deck, but I enjoyed Eastward on my Switch. TBH, I haven't finished it yet, but I enjoyed the 20-ish hours I've played so far.

[–] minutnudler@feddit.dk 2 points 1 year ago

Currently playing Jedi: Fallen Order and Stardew Valley. Good to have som casual gaming for casual times and some narrative AAA for when i have a bit more time on my hands :)

[–] Cylinsier@beehaw.org 2 points 1 year ago

Not too much right now as I have been in the TOTK hole for weeks, but recently I was playing the CIV 6, the new Hitman trilogy, and a few different metroidvanias. And I played HiFi Rush to completion on it. Fantastic device. Long term I will end up playing a lot of emulation on it too.

[–] jiji@beehaw.org 2 points 1 year ago

99% of my Deck gameplay has been Harvest Moon Animal Parade (Wii game) since I got it last fall. Lmao. But I recently got a little chill game called Lemon Cake on sale so I’ve been messing with that. I just want calm games these days, preferably ones I can pick up and put down easily.

[–] ducking_donuts@lemm.ee 2 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Another one here! Mostly playing Witcher 3 at the moment. And before that Disco Elysium.

I've been gaming on Linux for umm about ten years? Before that it was on FreeBSD and before that, it was on Atari ST. It feels so weird to finally be playing the same games as everyone else. Thanks Steam Deckers.

If anyone wants to spin up a private server and host some kind of game, I'll join your world! 7dtd is dropping a new release tomorrow.

Lately I've been playing Descenders: It's been a lot of fun and runs great! It's a procedurally generated cycling/BMX game.

[–] beeboopbeep@beehaw.org 2 points 1 year ago

It’s sitting behind my laptop. I bring it all the time and hardly play. Mostly think it’s the fact I depend on more sleep now that I have three little ones haha!

I was playing Hogwarts on it last! That and Dredge are good.

[–] labhaoise@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 year ago

It has become my Dinkum machine. So great to have a system you can just suspend and pick back up again. Aside from that I've been playing Cult of the Lamb on it. The deck seems to be the perfect fit for indie games.

Playing Persona 5 Strikers and constantly feeling withdrawal as I want to get to NEO:The World Ends With You after playing the DS original. Which I feel like is in the spirit of patient gaming, because while the game is like 2 years old, I got into this situation for playing a 15 year old game.
